Hi Leah and welcome back to planDisney! We always love when you stop by with your great questions!
Bringing a piece of the magic home with you from the Happiest Place on Earth is the perfect way to keep those special memories close - but lugging that "piece of magic" around with you all day may not feel so magical. I get it.
Accordingto the
Disneyland website, Guests may leave their merchandise at select locations while they explore the parks, leaving their hands free to hug Disney pals or pilot the Millennium Falcon.
At Disneyland Park the select locations to check merchandise are
Pioneer Mercantile in Frontierland, Port Royal in New Orleans Square, and
The Star Trader in Tomorrowland. Over at California Adventure, the locations are
Elias & Co. on Buena Vista Street,
Sarge's Surplus Hut in Cars Land, and
Avengers Vault in Avengers Campus. Perhaps the most convenient location to check merchandise, in my experience, is the
Disneyland Resort Stroller Shop in the Esplanade. It's located right there at the front gates, making pick-up super easy on your way out of the parks (if you're staying at a non-Disneyland resort hotel). Make sure to double check the pick-up hours with a Cast Member when you're dropping off your items!
My family's go-to shopping spot is
World of Disney in Downtown Disney District because it has every magical souvenir you could possibly imagine. Everyone will leave happy knowing they got something they like! We plan our one-stop-shop near the end of our visit, on a day we are not in the parks.
I hope I was able to answer your question, Leah, and that you have the most magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. If any other questions come up in your planning,
you've got a friend in me. I'm happy to help!
Your pal,
McCayla
