They look forward to selecting the perfect ornament each year and can’t wait to unwrap them and strategically place them on their Christmas tree. No doubt a few might even sing, “oh Disney tree, oh Disney tree, how lovely are thy ornaments!” And the best part about Disney ornaments? You can purchase them all year long.

But did you know ornaments can also be purchased at the Emporium (Magic Kingdom Park), Celebrity 5&10 (Disney’s Hollywood Studios), Mouse Gear (EPCOT), and Island Mercantile (Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park).
