Hi Robin!
Thanks for submitting your question to the Disney Moms Parks Panel!
The
Downtown Disney District is an amazing place to shop and dine. I always tell friends that even if the theme parks weren't there, I'd visit the
Disneyland Resort just to hang out at Downtown Disney.
As you know, there are numerous
toy stores at Downtown Disney. You can find everything from a super fun Build-A-Bear Workshop to World of Disney, the awesome Disney Parks merchandise store (by the way, I love going to World of Disney because if you need a break from deciding on what to buy, you can head to the back of the store toward the restrooms and spend a little time on the pressed coin machine).
Robin, at this time, there isn't an American Girl store at Downtown Disney.
But like I said, there are plenty of great shopping options if you're looking for a gift for a young girl.
One recommendation I'll make is that you follow Disneyland Resort news and events by checking out the
Disney Parks blog. On occasion, Disney will team up with other companies for product collaborations and those products will make their way to shops at the parks or Downtown Disney.
Faith, trust and pixie dust to you,
Anabel M.
