Tucked right into the heart of Discovery Island, the charming Discovery Trading Company is the kind…read moreof store you don't plan to spend much time in, and then somehow end up browsing for twenty minutes. It's Disney's main gift shop inside Animal Kingdom, and it has that perfect mix of air conditioning, themed décor, and "ooh, I might need that" souvenirs that make it impossible to walk past. It goes without saying that you need to bring money! The prices on Disney souvenirs has skyrocketed as of late. I'm still shocked about Mickey ears costing close to $40! The atmosphere fits right in with the park's adventurous vibe. The shop has rustic wood accents, tribal patterns, and a touch of explorer flair (I just love the decor in here). It's bright, open, and feels like an organic extension of Animal Kingdom rather than just another retail shop. As for what you'll find, the shop's got a little bit of everything. Plushes, pins, apparel, pens, toys, hats, packaged candy, stickers, sundries, and other goodies are in plentiful supply. You'll spot plenty of Animal Kingdom-themed gear, like shirts featuring the Tree of Life, fun Mickey ear safari hats, and wildlife-inspired accessories. I like this store because it's sort of like Animal Kingdom's Emporium (if you know, you know). I like to say if you can't find it here, you don't need it. Oh! And they offer a pretty generous 20% off discount for Annual Passholders. So be sure to flash your pass if you have one.

This store is one of the first shopping areas you'll see when entering Discovery Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It's off to the right as soon as you see the tree of life. Discovery Trading Company used to be Disney Outfitters. Discovery Trading Company offers a wide range of gifts, memorabilia, apparel, snacks, toys, and so much more! If you're a annual passholder, discounts do apply at this store! The team members are so helpful at this location. I was looking at a few of their Disney Ornaments and Snow globes! This is one of the best locations to shop at, especially if you're leaving Animal Kingdom for the day, you can easily stop into this store on the way out of the theme park!

Because of the line, I knew it would take him quite a long time to get thru it. I decided to go into this Universal Studios Souvenir store because there was nothing else to do, and I decided to get some stuff for my family and I. I looked around the store and got some stuff for my brother and my mom. Also bought myself a Jurassic Park shirt. Still remember the original movie fondly. Is it pricey? Yes!

If you are a Disney fan like myself, you might have seen those subscription boxes to get Disney foods and snacks. They are quite pricey but very tempting! Instead of indulging online, I like to stop here and get my Mickey rice crispy treats! They are the same ones as in the parks and at the hotels. I picked up some coffee from the parks, candy, and savory treats as well. The service here is great. A lot of distancing, limiting customers, and following the current rules. It is not a trip to Florida or MCO without coming to this shop.

My family and I stayed at the Pop Century Resort for our latest Disney World trip over the…read moreHolidays. At the resort there was a lot of amenities, and one of them was the Everything POP Shopping & Dining. This was one of my favorite parts about staying at the Pop Century resort! My family and I ate dinner several times at the POP Food Court. It was so convenient! We would place a mobile order to-go and then pick-up our order at the register when it was ready. Most of the food items are $14.99 and under! The POP dining is also open for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. The current hours are from 7:00 A.M to 11:00 P.M, but you'll want to confirm in the Disney World Mobile application if the hours change. The entrance for this is right next to the hotel check-in and main entrance for Pop Century. There are plenty of items in the shopping store too from apparel, toys, and gifts! It's a quick service establishment. A lot of the dinner entrees include chicken dishes, burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, desserts and so much more! A few evenings we ended up getting burgers, French fries, spaghetti and meatballs, and even chicken tenders! It was nice to have this option available to us after going to the Theme Parks! Some of the nights, we were just so tired! This was easy for us to place an order and pick up the meal to go back to our hotel room!

They have a wide selection for lunch dinner and beverages as well as baked goods and snacks. My sole reason for 3 stars is due to the fact the breakfast is inedible. It literally looks like plastic eggs. My hubs and I felt incredibly sick within 10 min of finishing our breakfast. Also the bottled water you can buy is dasani which is basically salt. The gift shop is super cool though but we didn't buy anything. It's all the same stuff you can find at the parks.

They have a tremendous selection of pins available along with some special pins that you can only buy if you're a season pass holder or a DVC member or other others. Every time you visit, you will find new selections of pins along with many of your old favorites. If you're looking for blind boxes, this is a great place to shop as well. They always have other types of merchandise available in limited supply, but they do have a really good selection of the programmable wristbands if you are vacationing or just want your ticket to be held electronically on your list. The cast members here are always friendly and I believe there is always a pin trading board available. Everything here is Disney priced but so far as pins go most of them are fairly reasonable. They do occasionally get something very rare or larger sized that can be on the pricey side, but there are always pins available for anyone shopping here. You can find all your favorite characters represented and many places represented. Basically, if it's Disney, there's a real good chance that there is a pin of it somewhere.

Pin Traders is located at the Marketplace in Disney Springs. It's next to Once Upon a Toy, Earl of Sandwich, and the Marketplace Carousel. Current hours are from 10:00 A.M - 11:00 P.M, but times may change, so make sure to check the Disney World mobile application! This place has so many pins! Their lanyards and keychains are pretty cool here too! It also has MagicBands if you're looking for a new MagicBand for Disney World. Pin Traders does offer the starter sets if you're new to Pin Trading! Some of the pins at Pin Traders include Theme Parks, Resorts, Animated Features and so much more! My daughter found the Up grape bottle cap at this Pin Traders store and the beauty and the beast pin she was looking for! When we visited, it didn't seem too busy inside, but it is a open kiosk store. It's probably one of the best locations we visited for pin trading!

This is one of the largest shops inside Disney's Hollywood Studios. The outside décor of the shop is pretty unique. It looks like you're entering a cinema or movie theater to go see a movie! Inside the store, you'll see lots of Disney-themed apparel, headwear (like Mickey Ears), and even Jewelry! Typical hours for this store are 9:00 A.M to 9:00 P.M daily, however, you'll want to take a look at Disney World's Mobile application. Sometimes the start times do change for Hollywood Studios. If you're staying on property at Disney World, there is a 30 minute extra time you'll have, with the theme park opening at 8:30 if you have early access. Annual Passholder discounts and Disney Visa Cardmember Perks are accepted at this store! We had a great time shopping at this store when we visited Hollywood Studios. Since we ended up going down Sunset Boulevard later in the evening, this store was relatively busy, but overall it was a lot of fun!

My personal fave is the kitchen stuff, really love the classic Minnie red and white polka dot apron. They have items from all over the park at this one location so you can hit this place on your way out and not have to carry everything around. They can also do front of the park delivery, but keep in mind that takes time, so do it early so it arrives before you get done for the day. There is plenty of staff around and they are friendly. Great place to grab souvenirs from your visit. Don't forget a frame for your fave pictures!! Overall: A Solid merch shop with a variety of options for take home goodies.

Actual wardrobe-reset dangerous. Service is Disney quality and the value well... where else are you going to get this stuff. Online? I don't think so. Disney Style isn't selling mouse ears and nostalgia dust--it's selling confidence, drip, and the kind of fashion that says "yes, I like Disney, but I also pay attention to mirrors." Clean lines. Modern cuts. Stuff you can wear outside the park without looking like you just escaped a gift shop hostage situation. And yes--let's address the scandal. I stopped here right after a trip to Universal. I said it. And you know what? It was totally worth it. If Universal is out here flexing world-class theming, Disney Style is quietly saying, "Cool. Now put something nice on." This is Disney acknowledging that adults exist, trends exist, and sometimes you want merch that doesn't scream--but knows. You walk in and immediately start doing that dangerous math: "I don't need this... ...but I do deserve it." The displays are sharp. The vibe is confident. Everything feels intentional.

However, this is not in a mall, and if you were going for nostalgia, you might have picked the different decade. I came over here because the temperatures in Florida decided to dip faster than an influencer in a TikTok trend. I had only prepared for one chilly night, not a week of northern weather in Florida. I wanted a sweatshirt or hoodie and had high hopes for this store. Especially since they are marketing to celebrate an anniversary for Disney World. The designs were eye catching, but not at all what I was looking for. I had to distract myself from buying anymore t-shirts, as I had already purchased at least three in the past two days. There are other things in here to look at, but browsing isn't something you really do in here. You will be pushed along. Shame on you for wanting to know if they had a size for your or not.
