When it comes to Disney, I often identify myself as a Disneyholic (addicted to all things Disney) or a Disneyphile (love for all things Disney). Despite this, there are things about Disney I wish to change. In this case, the price of almost all their official gear. It already costs an arm and a leg just for a single ticket to their parks so why does their gear have to cost fingers too?
Thankfully, there is a way my fellow Disney addicts can get their gear without having to throw away their entire weekly paycheck: Disney's Character Warehouse.
For starters, Disney's Character Warehouse is located in Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets, an outdoor mall located on the outskirts of Disney property, right next to the food court. Because it is not on Disney property, the store has the ability to sell items that are being cycled out at a far cheaper price. Imagine buying Disney (or Disney associated gear from Marvel, LucasFilm, or Jim Hensen) at 30 percent, 40 percent, 50 percent, 60 percent, or even more off? That is what they have to offer.
The selection may not be as diverse and expansive as if you were stepping into the World of Disney in Disney Springs, but it has enough to satisfy fans all around to an extent. Shirts, pants, jackets, and other clothing apparel, toys, cups, mugs, calendars, and pins. They have it all.
Finally, to truly understand just how much of a bargain their wares are. They have a limited edition Star Wars walker toy set originally priced at $300 on sale for $79.99, pins originally priced at $20 for $2, and shirts originally priced at $35 at $15. As a matter of fact, I bought my lanyard, starter pin set, and my Penny Arcade shirt (Disneyland fans will know what I am talking about) from there. Spent less than $25. Trust me, that's a deal.
So if you're a Disney fan either you be local or out of state, stop on by for great deals on your Disney gear. I must stress this more so for those who live out of Florida and on Disney Vacations. It already costs so much to enjoy such a vacation, let me help you save on the material memories and collectables. read more
