Mickey's of Hollywood is located right by the front of the park and is among the first stores that you will come across as you enter the park. If you are looking for some Disney merchandise, souvenirs or just want to look and see what is available, Mickey's of Hollywood is definitely worth checking out! During my time at the store they carried a good variety of t-shirts, spirit jerseys, ears, pins, mugs, etc. Mickey's of Hollywood is super convenient with all of the merchandise and the location of the store! When I am running low on time and need a last minute souvenir, or I just want to do a little shopping before I leave the park, Mickey's of Hollywood is an easy stop. Mickey's of Hollywood is a pretty large store and very well laid out. Even when the park is extremely crowded, the store is still very spacious! The cast members working at Mickey's of Hollywood were both helpful and knowledgeable! Also, even though there were Springtime Surprise crowds in the theme park over the weekend, I never saw long lines waiting for purchasing at the store, or even getting into the store!

They have a good mix of different items from throughout the parks various areas - Toy Story, Star Wars, Tour of Terror, etc. Staff is friendly and helpful and they have several register bays so it's easy to get your purchase and get out rather quickly. They are keeping to the Disney COVID standard of mask requirements and hand sani at each entry / exit. They also control the traffic into and out of the store with dedicated one-way paths to minimize door crowding. Overall: A Solid option for a souvenir on your way out - plenty of options for variety.

It's your typical hotel convenience store/gift shop that does not stay open late enough - and everything is incredibly pricey. They carry a variety of clothing (including shorts, t-shirts, swimsuits) magazines, snacks, toiletries, and tourist knick-knacks. I stopped in to pick up some antacids and cold bottled water. Tip: According to the lady working the register - if Sunrise Sunset Gift Shop is closed - if one goes to the front desk of the hotel - someone will walk down with you to the gift shop, unlock it, let you in, and ring you up for whatever it is you want to purchase.

Uptown Jewelers is now sponsored by Pandora jewelry which you can purchase just about anywhere. I…read moredidn't come to look at that jewelry since I no longer collect it but had other things on my mind. In addition to Pandora jewelry Uptown jewelers carries Disney related jewelry and the famous Mickey Mouse watches. They've now expanded to include accessories by Coach, Dooney and Burke, and Vera Bradley. The purpose of this visit was two fold. First I wanted to get the 50th anniversary Mickey Mouse necklace by Betsey Johnson to have a Mickey in his 50th anniversary duds on my neck. The lady who helped was very nice and extremely helpful. This necklace is on a chain that comes down below my waist. She showed me how I could "double it up" so that it would hang better on my neck. I was sold on it! The second thing I was after was the new Lady and the Tramp Dooney and Burke collection that just debuted this week and is not available anywhere else! The collection has portraits of Lady and the Tramp throughout the entire print. At first I was going for a cross body bag and wallet to match but seeing how big the wallet was I opted for the satchel so that the wallet would fit. The wallet comes in a form of a wristlet with a detachable strap and will just fit into the bottom of the satchel. I worked with it a little and saw I could use it now and then as I switch out my purses. I arranged to have these three items shipped to my home since Disney is no longer offering package delivery to the front of the park or to your resort. The lady was again real nice and had me look over each satchel and wallet to see how much of the characters faces were covered by the hardware before making my selection. She then turned me over to a payment clerk for processing. When he rung me up I asked why was I being charged Florida state tax if it was being shipped to PA? I explained that I should only pay my state tax. He just said I had to pay the Florida tax regardless. He then asked me if I had the Chase Disney VISA card or was an annual passholder. I have that Chase card and with my purchase today by using that card I saved 10% off my entire purchase. Please note that if you are using the Chase Disney VISA card in the theme parks, in order to get the 10% off then your purchase must at least total $50.00 minimum after any other discounts. Also you must present the physical card. DO NOT PAY WITH YOUR MAGICBAND or you will not receive this credit. I was glad when he told me that because that really knocked the total down immensely. I was given a slip to contact merchandise services in two weeks if my parcel was not received. That purchase was made on a Friday and I received it via UPS the following Thurs!! Disney is very fast to ship and that helps a lot! Everything was wrapped carefully as if it had never been opened including the necklace. Warranty cards are included. This store is pretty pricey but it is an upscale shop and it is what one would expect. My only wished that Disney had an area where I could "bundle" all my shipping purchases together but since I was without a car on this trip there would not be any time for me to drive to a UPS store to have that done. I'm very happy with my purchases.

In the past, I've bought two Citizen watches from here. They also sell really nice sterling silver jewelry and gold jewelry featuring different Disney designs. Most recently, they have started selling Pandora charms. Pandora now has quite a few Disney designs, but they also sell Pandoras other charms here as well. Dooney and Bourke makes handbags with Disney designs. I first saw these appear around 2010, I think it was. The Disney designs do change about every 6 months. Currently, they have a Haunted Mansion design (the wallpaper theme), a design for It's A Small World, and a beautiful brown leather design with Tink and different Mickeys. They have the bags in all sizes from wristlets to large bags. The Dooney and Bourke prices are the same as you'd normally find on any Dooney and Bourke bag. I've purchases a couple of the bags and a wristlet in the past and like any D&B, they hold up very well. Vera Bradley is now making bags with Disney designs and you'll find those here. They have a good selection in various colour patterns. These bags are also in the same price range as you'd normally find any Vera Bradley bag. Other items they have here are things like scarves, hats, shoes, nice handbags w/out designer names, more upscale costume jewelry, and even Ray Ban sunglasses. Of course I can't possibly mention everything they sell in this gift shop, but if you are looking for a more upscale gift for yourself or someone else, this is definitely the place to come.

My wife and I have a goal to stay at every Disney resort and recently we checked off the Beach Club…read morebox. We visited the Beach Club Marketplace a few times during our stay. This is the only quick service location and gift shop at the resort. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner items as well as selling Disney merchandise, prepackaged food items, prepackaged drinks and liquor and beer/wine. The merchandise side is in the front, where most people enter and is rather small for a resort gift shop. There were a few items with the resort name but not really what we wanted. We were looking for a shot glass or magnet but they did not have that. They also sell Disney pins, a few tee-shirts, a few toys and other things. It was limited but had a decent amount of stuff. I was just personally surprised with the limited items for sale. Food wise they offered some pre-made sandwiches, salads, they had pre-packaged food items such as bread and jelly, cereal, things like that. Some of the rooms at the resort do have a small kitchen so having those items to buy was a very nice touch. Hot food was typical Disney food with mickey waffle, breakfast sandwiches and such. We pretty much ate breakfast here. I ordered the breakfast sandwich which came on a bagel with egg, cheese and bacon. It was also served with potatoes. It was really good, I would have preferred a croissant option but they only had the the bagel. My wife ordered a kids meal which came with 2 mickey waffles, sausage and grapes. They are your typical mickey waffles and were good. Everything here is to go only. There are no tables inside however, there is a solarium across from them. In there, which we did not discover until the last day, they had lots of tables to sit at. I would have preferred for the cast members to tell us, I guess they just assumed everyone went back to the room. But overall this is a good stop if you are staying at the resort. Should you make a special trip here, no, but definitely check it out if you are staying. ACES!

They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner items. It is not fancy, but has your typical Disney items. It is also unique in that it also partners with the Beach Club gift shop. You can purchase food here but also merchandise. For the merchandise side, they have a few Beach Club specific items as well as Disney items such as pins, tee-shirts, jackets, magnets, toys and such. It is not the largest selection of items but it had a decent variety. I was really wanting to get something that said Beach Club but unfortunately their options were limited. I would have loved a shot glass or coffee cup that specifically said Beach Club but they really only had ornaments and shirts. They also offered bottles of liquor, bottles of wine, cases of beer and some simple grocery items. I did think that was nice for families to make some simple items. Some of the rooms at Beach Club have a small kitchen area. They also sell the reusable cups you can purchase for your stay and refill. I like these cups but I don't. You have to come back to the marketplace every time you want a refill, they do not work in the park even though they should! For food, we ate breakfast here. They had breakfast sandwiches, mickey waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, pretty consistent with Disney breakfast. It was pretty good for quick service. For lunch and dinner they offered some hot items such as burgers and chicken sandwiches, but also had pre made cold sandwiches and salads all ready to grab and go. Overall this was a great stop. My only issue is everything is to go. There are no tables here. We ate in our room one day and the lobby the other day. We did see on our check out day, they have a solarium across from the marketplace. In there they had a bunch of tables and chairs in there. I guess that is where you can go to eat. I think the cast members could have said something to us to let us know. But this is a really good stop, they do not have tons of options but what they do have was really good. I would go back for sure. If you are staying here I would recommend checking it out.

The checkout lanes had 5-10 minutes wait due to a lot of people in the store. They had 3 register open and lines were moving quickly. They were also offering discounts and promotions for getting a Universal Credit card at the store.

The Eycatchers are neat little things to hang outside your home like you would a wind chime (but without the noise). They spin with the wind and they're pretty. They are made out of steel and coated with a special powder so they won't rust or tarnish. Loved the fact that they even had some featuring Mickey, Minnie, Mickey Icons, and even Cinderella's Castle. The small ones range in price from $15-$39, and the large ones range in price from $45-$55. They even fold flat so they'll fit in your suitcase with ease. This is important since I know a lot of people who purchase them are tourists from other states. I didn't purchase one today, but I'll more than likely be back to purchase the one with the Cinderella's cutout in the future. I really loved that one. The $24 price tag is pretty reasonable.

Which to me, seems like a great idea considering the amount of travelers that pass through this area during any given day. I enjoyed their stock of trendy Disney tees and Orlando tank tops. I especially liked a very girly white tee with a black stencil of Tinkerbell on it. And I was happily surprised that it only cost $13.99. Among many other items they sell a great deal of Yankee hats, Nascar racing jackets, Mickey Mouse gear, and Sparkly Orlando tourist t-shirts. If you did want to personalize your hat, sweatshirts, bag, etc. they have a binder chocked full of fonts, logos and pictures. The embroidery machine actually sits in plain sight so you are able to witness what it's doing at all times. The associate working didn't actually greet me since she was working with another customer, but from what I could tell she was happy to be helping. They do have a no returns and no exchanges policy which means that unfortunately, all sales are final.
