One of the best things about Walt Disney World is that it encompasses hundreds of places to shop! With all of these options, it’s hard to map out where to plan on visiting throughout your stay.
Though most Disney merchandise is universal throughout the parks, there are certain places you can find certain things, as well as places you may not have thought about stopping at! If this is your situation, we are here to help!
From the Disney Parks to Disney Springs to Disney Resorts, here are the best places for shopping at Disney!
Best stores for shopping in Magic Kingdom
As the most popular Disney park, encompassing Tomorrowland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Adventureland, as well as Liberty Square and Main Street USA, there are so many great places for shopping in Disney in the Magic Kingdom. We listed a few of our favorites below. We’re sure there’s one shop on this list for everyone in your group!
Emporium
The largest gift shop in Disney’s Magic Kingdom, located on Main Street USA, was sure to make our list for places to shop at Disney. This is the place to find pins, apparel, plush toys, etc.
Inside the Emporium, it’s easy to get lost as it is so huge and there is so much to see throughout the different rooms! This is a great place to look for character-themed outfits and, of course, matching Mickey ears!
Not to mention, they also have lanyards, magnets, Magic Bands, and so much more!
Disney Clothiers
Disney Clothiers is always the first place to stop when shopping at Disney World because it has so many awesome items! Located conveniently on Main Street USA, you more than likely walk right past it at least once during your vacation.
As far as merchandise goes, Disney Clothiers carries infant clothes, Disney hand bags, sweatshirts, Mickey ears, mugs, keychains, and more! This is the perfect place to shop for souvenirs to bring home.
This is truly one of the best places for Disney shopping because there’s so much to see here! The store is HUGE and jam-packed with all of the latest and greatest Disney merchandise!
Main Street Confectionery
If your souvenir list entails Mickey Rice Krispie treats and character-themed cotton-candy, this is the place for you! The Confectionery, which is also located on Main Street, is the best place to stock up on your favorite sweets and treats exclusive only to Disney World.
The Confectionery offers only the best and most delicious character-themed baked goods, such as cupcakes, caramel apples, lollipops, chocolate covered pretzel rods, cake pops, and cookies.
A lot of their goodies are also sealed – so you can take them back to your hotel for a late-night snack – or enjoy them for some extra energy as you spend time browsing stores in Disney World all day!
Fantasy Faire
Next on the list of Disney shops is Fantasy Faire, located in Fantasyland of Disney’s Magic Kingdom. This shop is right next to Mickey’s PhilharMagic as well!
