This is a great little souvenir shop in... well, I'm not sure if it's still Fantasyland? It's the…read moreFrench corner of it, though. Right next to Gaston's Tavern, the shop has lots of merchandise, not just Beauty and the Beast-themed. I actually got several items here, including some sweatpants for my sister, a little pillow, and perhaps my favorite item, a plush Belle doll for my daughter. She has never seen the movie, but something about this doll left an impression because it is the only thing she picked wanted whilst we were her at Disney World. And Belle has been on several rides with us now! The staff were very friendly and personable. Oddly, one of the women who helped us is a doppelgänger for my best friends sister. Though we stopped in the shop for a bit of air conditioning, we found some nice little treasures and it's a place you should make a stop if you're around.

While I was visiting Magic Kingdom at Disney World during my latest trip to Orlando Florida for a…read moreconference, I stopped by Bonjour! Village Gifts. It's right next to the Little Mermaid ride. The whole area has this French village ambiance, which fits perfect for Fantasyland! Bonjour! Village gifts sells Beauty and the Beast items and collectables themed after the film! There are some of Belle's town details throughout like bookshop and village detail! The merchandise is focused on Beauty and the Beast, with Belle themed souvenirs, artwork, collectibles, apparel, and mugs! I also noticed it felt a little calmer and less crowded than some of the larger Magic Kingdom stores, which made it easier to actually browse and appreciate the details! One thing to know is that the shop can sometimes open later in the day compared to the rest of Fantasyland, so it's worth checking the hours if you specifically want to stop there. The store also closes earlier too. I thought Bonjour! Village Gifts was one of the more charming shops in Magic Kingdom. It's not huge, but the theming and Beauty and the Beast atmosphere make it feel special! Definitely worth stepping into if you're a fan of the movie!

Super Silly Stuff is the headquarters for Minion-inspired gifts and souvenirs. You can find cuddly…read moreplush Minions, fluffy unicorns, t-shirts, loungewear, stationery and more at this shop. I'm not an extreme fan of Minions but one of my favorite actors did a voice in the original Despicable Me movie, so I'm fond enough to come in and look around the store. The store itself is organized and the staff is kind as well as pleasant. With all the cute options I can understand why so many people gravitate towards the cute yellow creatures. If you or someone in your life loves Minions, this is the store to shop for them (or yourself).

The store is like a Rainforest Cafe without the crappy food. Very cute with a huge realistic Gorilla in the entrance to scare the little 'uns. Thats my favorite part.

They even had a lot of the merchandise that is available only for the flower and garden festival. One of the big deals this year has been Orange Bird who is very popular. I found some really cool puzzles while I was wandering around, but didn't get any on this trip. This location is somewhat closer to the entrance and before you get to the world showcase so I tend to recommend shopping on your way out so you're not having to carry stuff for the rest of the day through the park. All the cast members are friendly and we were offered Assistance while wandering the store.

The staple gift shop at EPCOT with anything and everything you could possibly want from the park…read more From Mickey / Minnie ears, to household decor, to festival exclusives, this is the place to get it. It's a huge store, so you'll be spending some time here if you are looking around at everything. They usually keep seasonal or festival items towards the main entrances on either the front or back side of the main store. Staff is easy to spot and they are in abundance at this location as it is almost always busy. There are two main register areas for purchases and there are several registers that are active at any time, so it's quick and easy to check out during most days. Items are higher price, but it's Disney and it's tourist items (souvenirs) so it makes sense. If you are a pass holder, be sure to show your card for your retail discount! Overall: A+ THE spot for EPCOT merch!

The theming in this area has got to be one of my favorite parts. They did a great job making this look like a pirate's treasure room! There are lots of golden coins, large wooden beams and low light, so they maintained that great adventure feeling from Adventureland. I also appreciated how they included pirate scenes in the area! I think it tied into the theme very well. This store felt much more like part of the overall experience. In terms of merchandise, it had everything I would have wanted to buy after riding Pirates. The store contained tons of pirate items such as swords, hats, eye patches and shirts, etc. All of these were fun to look at! I found it to be enjoyable to browse through so much merchandise, that I ended up spending 30 minutes inside the gift shop! There was something about looking at all of those cool pirate things after experiencing the ride that made me want to pick up some merchandise. Some of the apparel was pretty funny too! It can get a bit busy, particularly when many people exit the attraction as a group! You don't need to ride Pirates to enter the store. It also has AC which is a great place to stop inside during the Florida summer months! Plaza del Sol Caribe Bazaar is one of the best themed gift shops within Magic Kingdom. Whether or not you plan on making purchases during your visit, I recommend stopping by this shop to look at all of the Pirate themed merchandise!

As well as there are bathrooms attached to this location for convenience. I was born on the day that is celebrated as "Talk like a pirate day," so I'm partial to pirates. Aaaaargh mateys! There was some great merchandise with some that made me chuckle. The cast members were only at the register versus greeting and assisting like other locations. Selection and prices are comparable to around in Magic Kingdom, but this location is beaming with treasure (pirate themed items). Ahoy and happy shopping Yelpers! SYOY!

Uhhhhhhhhhhh, so Haunted Mansion, huh?…read more Thematically, this merchandise location is themed after the home of floating-orb-slash-spirit-medium-slash-imagineer Madame Leota. But realistically, it's the place to get Haunted Mansion prints, statuettes, Mouse ears, and such. Kind of a spiritual successor (pardon the pun) to Leota's little caravan cart that used to sit outside the Mansion's gates in the old days. Speaking of old days, there used to be a little back room that sold zombified portraits of park goers, but that's long gone. I actually got made fun of once for even bringing that up at school, but that was years ago. Middle schoolers are vile, man. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you can still be zombie'd out using the Genie+ service. There's a pretty good selection of prints and small ceramics here, notably postcard-sized artwork replications from artists contracted by the Mouse. I got a little statue of the Original, Pre-Floating Leota, like the one in the Hong Kong ride. (I love the current effect as well.) Speaking of the Madame, her ghost is still hanging out in the mirror. You can also get these cutesy, big headed portraits of Constance "Projection-Face" Hatchaway, the Mansion's newest Bride incarnation. They're well made, even if the subject is really just a dressmaker's mannequin on a stick. Sorry, that was rude. Uhhhhh, what else is there? So, there's some fun special illusions and Easter eggs, like the haunted mirror and the picture of the Gracey Manor maids. There's also a full portrait of Leota herself, just chilling in the foyer. The shop honestly seems to be more story pieces than merchandise items, but I'm not complaining. I love story pieces. If you want to shop just to shop, go to World of Disney (in Disney Springs) or the Emporium (on Main Street U. S. A.) or go to shopDisney.com and become a part of the problem. If I absolutely *had* to say anything negative, it would be the lack of Haunted Mansion stickers. I know it's petty, but every time I've gone back to get some Hitchhiking Ghost stickers, they've only had the Mickey Mouse as Abe Lincoln ones. Yes, it is the major Liberty Square store, but COME ON. Uhhuhuhhhhhh, that's about it for now. I love the costumes. Mark my words, I will work here one day, and when I do, I WILL HAVE THOSE GHOST STICKERS, EVEN IF IT KILLS ME! TLDR; Great one stop shop for HM merch. Feel free to linger and check out the cool props. Stickers aren't topical.

MouseGear: where EPCOT's real ride was seeing how fast you could max out your credit card…read more MouseGear was EPCOT's gift shop on steroids -- a temple of merchandise that once stood as the beating heart of Future World until it closed in 2021 to make way for the shinier, sleeker Creations Shop. And honestly? It was glorious chaos while it lasted. History check: MouseGear opened in 1999, replacing Centorium (which was EPCOT's original mega-store since 1982). Where Centorium had the vibe of "futuristic department store," MouseGear leaned into "what if we crammed every Disney product ever made under one roof and threw some gears on the walls to make it look steampunk?" Walking into MouseGear felt like you'd entered the Costco of Disney merch. Mickey ears, spirit jerseys, pins, kitchenware, toys, Dooney & Bourke bags -- if it had a Disney logo, it was here. The place was huge, loud, and perpetually packed, like a holiday rush that never ended. And yet, it was also... magical. Because who doesn't want to impulse-buy a Figment mug at 9:00 a.m. after riding Spaceship Earth? I muttered something like, "It's consumerism run wild. But damn, they know how to sell it." And he'd be right -- this was Disney retail as an attraction in itself. Best thing? The pin trading and limited-edition drops. MouseGear was where you felt like an insider if you scored a rare pin or exclusive piece of merch. It was shopping, yes, but it also had that EPCOT sense of being part of something a little bigger -- part nostalgia, part future, all Disney. Bottom line: MouseGear may be gone, but it's still the stuff of EPCOT legend. Creations Shop is sleek and modern, but MouseGear was messy, loud, and unapologetically Disney -- and that's why people still talk about it.

They have many different items that range from clothing to accessories to toys and everything here is a themed to the Walt Disney World theme park that you are in. They even have items that you can't get another theme parks or Disney Springs. This store sells items that are designed to look like items in the park. They have toys that look like race cars that are styled to the right vehicle that you get in on test track and they even sell freeze-dried ice cream because that's what astronauts eat, and that's the type of item you should be eating while you're waiting in line for mission space. Mission space is an amazing ride as well! The cast members here are insanely nice and over-the-top helpful and will go out of their way to get any item that you may be looking for. If they don't have it here and they will even order it to send to your hotel room if you are staying on Disney property.

Since it was the holidays, there was a part of the store that was dedicated to stocking stuffers. It had a lot of small goodies like candy and popcorn! I had a great time at this store! The next time I'm in Magic Kingdom, I'll have to stop by again!
