It's a cute…read morelittle stop that I like to drop into when my someone has to use the restroom next door or if we want to dip in somewhere while the parade is going on. Love the art work that they have here, ranging from original artist prints, recreations, painted and framed artwork, wood carved items, blind box and collectibles, and there's Disney artists doing live sketches here too. You can walk into the back gallery area and see all the works and memorabilia on display. There's historical artifacts like old tickets from back in the day for each ride or documents for films and rides, an actual check signed by Walt and much more with some photos from that time too. Truly a rare piece of history. At the front, there's a bank vault as this, according to a cast member we spoke to, used to be where a Bank of America used to be. The vault is now used to house the more pricier, one of a kind art works. When we were there it was a $35,000 Madame Leota wood carving sign, I believe. In the front and the random prints, is more affordable for the regular consumer, but there are definitely much pricier, rare artworks for the true Disney collectors.

Thank you Jan for the beautiful silhouette of my family dog! Thank you to all the cast members that…read morewere courteous and welcoming once I walked in! There are only two locations in Disneyland Park where you can get a silhouette: Silhouette Studio and Disneyana. Both stores are located on Main Street. Disneyana is located on the right once you scan into Disneyland Park. It is a small store that can easily be missed, so make sure to read the signage. Disneyana not only offers silhouettes, but they're mainly known for selling collectible figurines and limited edition and original artwork. It wasn't too busy when I visited. There were only 3 other guests in front of me. Once I entered, I was immediately greeted and felt welcomed. The initial Cast Member (did not catch her name) asked if I would like a silhouette done. I told her I'd like a silhouette of my family dog. She filled out a small laminated sheet and handed it to me to hold onto until my name was called. You can either wait outside or shop around inside. I went to Jolly Holiday to grab coffee and came back. Shortly after, I was called for my turn. I had multiple photos of my family dog ready. They can ONLY take side pictures as a reference. They are very specific in the types of side pictures they can do, so make sure you're prepared. They'll let you know whether the picture is acceptable or not. Cast Member Jan did my silhouettes. She was very sweet, quick, and efficient. She finished the silhouettes under 10 minutes. Cast Member Sarah "glued" the silhouettes onto a 5'7 paper card stock. I decided not to get it framed, but they safely placed them in a folding card. There are two tiers: standard and premium. The standard tier is $11.99 for a human silhouette. The premium tier is $14.99 for anything other than a human silhouette. The frame is sold separately starting at $19.99. I'd say it is absolutely worth it. I love every little detail of the cut outs! They do two silhouettes. The frame is cute with 42 hidden Mickey's, or you can customize your own frame too.

It may technically be a hat store, but the real focus is embroidered Mickey ears, and there are so many fun designs that it's hard not to stop and browse. I love how easy it is to personalize a pair and immediately feel more in the Disney spirit. Even if I don't buy anything, popping in here always sets the tone for a good day wandering down Main Street.

While its name may lead you to believe that this store is only for purchasing music products, the 20th Century Music Co. is one of the largest Disney Store locations at Disneyland with an incredible variety of Disney themed pins available to purchase! If you are searching for a very simple Disney Pin, a Limited Edition Disney Pin or even a Disney Pin that is themed around a particular attraction or Disney Character, then the 20th Century Music Co. will have a wide assortment of choices from which to select. The store's displays are easily browsable, and I have never had difficulty finding either a new Disney Pin to add to my own personal collection or as a gift for others. Additionally, the 20th Century Music Co. is another location where you can meet fellow Disney Pin Traders and engage in pin trades! One of the things I like most of 20th Century Music Company is that it is very easy to visit! The store is located on Main Street so you can stop by as you are heading into the park, or when you are leaving the park. It makes for a quick stop before you head out of the park to pick up another souvenir. All in all, this store is worth checking out. Whether you're an avid pin trader or still collecting the store has plenty of options to choose from! This is one of those stores in Disneyland that you can depend on being there with a nice selection of pins! My daughter and I will usually stop by this store and the other pin location in Frontierland!

The books and journals were cool.

For Star Wars fans, Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities is basically paradise. Tucked away inside Star…read moreWars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, the shop is designed to look like a shady black market outpost, and Disney absolutely nailed the atmosphere. Every corner, shelf, and ceiling beam seems packed with artifacts, relics, ancient tools, creature remains, and other treasures from across the galaxy. Even if you aren't planning to buy anything, it's worth spending time just wandering around and soaking in the incredible details. I've never made a purchase in this shop, but it's one of my favorite places to browse. The store is a goldmine of Star Wars lore and Easter eggs. Look closely and you'll spot everything from a mounted Wampa head and ancient Jedi and Sith statues to props connected to "The Mandalorian." Fans can easily spend lots of time reading the backstories of objects bolted to the walls and trying to identify obscure references hidden throughout the shop. One of the highlights is Dok-Ondar himself, the legendary Ithorian antiquities dealer. The animatronic sits in the corner at his desk, managing accounts, taking calls, and keeping an eye on his inventory. Every so often he'll make a racket or react to something happening around him. While the figure is impressive, it's also a bit of a disappointment that he isn't more interactive. Given Disney's track record with immersive experiences, it feels like a missed opportunity to have such an iconic character sitting there without engaging directly with guests. He's still cool, though. As for the merchandise, this is definitely where the serious collectors come to shop. Many of the items carry equally serious price tags. You'll find movie-accurate Legacy Lightsabers alone with Jedi and Sith holocrons that unlock unique sounds when paired with Kyber Crystals (sold separately, LOL). There are also replica props, artwork, costumes, and Jedi robes that can easily cost hundreds of dollars (or more). If dropping that kind of money on Star Wars collectibles doesn't make you blink, you'll be in heaven here. Fortunately, there are still some affordable souvenirs mixed in among the high-end collectibles. Smaller keepsakes like insignia patches, replica Jedi food storage capsules, and even replicas of Yoda's cane make it possible to take home a piece of the experience without emptying your wallet. One tip: Disneyland Magic Key passholders receive a merchandise discount, so be sure to ask before making a purchase. Discounts range from 10-20 percent off! Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities is one of the most detailed and immersive stores in Disneyland. There's always something new to discover, and usually something new and expensive tempting you to open your wallet. For Star Wars super fans, it's an absolute must-visit.

It is packed from floor to (vaulted) ceiling with so many wonderful easter eggs and references to the extended Star Wars universe that you could spend all day just looking around at everything on the walls. It's truly beautiful. For those of you who do want to shop. this place has very unique Star Wars gifts you're not going to find anywhere else (except maybe the Galaxy's Edge in WDW). From high end replicas of things like holocrons and Kyber Crystals to very detailed replicas of famous lightsabers, this store has you covered. This place really is, in my humble opinion, one of the must stops any time you come to this section of the park.

They say it's modeled after fancy olden days Los Angeles department stores which is kind of cool. Even more cool, Elias was Walt Disney's Dad's name so the shop is named after his father. I'd call Elias & Co as a general souvenir gift shop at Disneyland where you'll find a ton of clothes and other fairly standard Disney items. Tons of Mickey ears, bags, even some watches & jewerly. The huge store is divided into four sections: Men's, Women's, Children's and Jewelry. It's been helpful for me in particular when I needed to buy socks and ended up getting some cute Disney footsie covers in a bind. If you have an Annual Pass, they do offer the discount here which is nice. If nothing else, you can escape the heat or weather for a moment walking down Buena Vista Street thru the store from one end to the other and check out what's for sale instead of trotting down the trove with the masses. Because this is at the front of the park, it can get incredibly busy though! Only for that reason is it probably my least favorite shop at California Adventure. They have a helpful and friendly staff working though, as always is the Disney way!

You can find everything from apparel, accessories, plush toys, collectibles, and seasonal Disney exclusives. The elegant light fixtures and vintage inspired décor makes you feel completely immersed into a shopping destination from the 1920s! While I was visiting Disneyland for the Halloween Half Marathon, I ended up stopping by this store to take a look at all of the seasonal merchandise! This store does accept Magic Key Holder discounts, Disney Vacation Club discounts, and Disney Visa Cardmember perks! If you didn't want to wait in line to check out, you can use the mobile checkout as an alternative! I did end up buying a few fall ornaments from Elias & Co!

This is an experience that breathes new life into the franchise for fans and really makes you feel as if you are a Jedi yourself whether you select the good or evil path is ultimately up to you. I love the saber I built and there are so many great options and builds to choose from. I went red saber on the old republic style hilts but will definitely be back to build a green saber on the black order hilts.

Truly a magical experience. You get the whole spiel before you can start and you hold your lightsabers together at the end. A good number of customizable parts that you can choose, as well as the color of your lightsaber. You get a carrier with it too and in the future you can buy additional pieces to change up the color and make other customizations to the hilt. My bro got a purple one as this was his favorite throughout the series. Also mentioning that it's "rare" too. As in Disney fashion, it's quite pricy but as a gift for the biggest Star Wars fan in your life, it's worth it.
