Hello Elizabeth, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
One of my favorite things to do at the Walt Disney World Resort is to shop! Yes, I am that person who travels with an almost empty extra suitcase to bring home all the souvenirs. I have discovered over the years, that a lot of merchandise you see at
World of Disney and other shops on Disney property is available for sale online. You can
purchase items online or by using the Shop Disney Parks Mobile App. The app will even show you where a particular item is actually sold on Disney property.
However, there are also quite a few items that are exclusive to events, annual passholder and available in limited quantities that are only sold at the Walt Disney World Resort. So my advice is whenever you see something that catches your eye. Whether it is a t-shirt, hat, pin, tote bag, ear headband, or other collectibles for sale, that is the time to purchase it. World of Disney will even ship items to your home that you purchase. Ask a Cast Member during the check out process. I hope that helps to answer your question. If you need anything else, please come back and visit us again.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
