    Hello again to Stacey, my Disney Shopping Pal!    OK, here is the scoop on Disney shopping.   It is endless!  From your basic Mickey T-shirts on Main Street to African Art in Animal Kingdom Lodge, you can really shop til you drop in WDW.    I know how you feel, so many stores, so little time!   But there is a lot of magic out there, too, so take some time OUT of the stores, too!    Here are some shopping tips for you:

    -As hard as it may seem, avoid the shops first thing in the morning.  Use this valuable time to hit some major attractions before lines get too long.

    -Shop in the heat of the afternoon.  This is a great way to get out of the sun and into air conditioning.

    -If you are staying at a Disney Resort, have your purchases shipped back to your resort so you are not stuck carrying  bags all day long.

    -Don't do all your shopping in the theme parks.  Many resorts carry unique items you will not find elsewhere.

    -Prices should be the same wherever you go in Disney, so no need to hold out to find a better price on the same item.

    -If you are debating on a certain item, do not buy it, then get home and wish you bought it, simply call WDW Merchandise at (407)363-6200.   Have as much information as possible on the item:  price, location, size, color, etc.   The item can be shipped directly to you if they are able to locate it.  (shipping charges will apply.)

    Enjoy your WDW Shopping Spree with your princesses!

Meet the Panelist: Cathy, Ohio

Hi, I'm Cathy from Cleveland. I love to travel, especially in the winter to escape the snow and cold of Ohio! My husband and 2 kids share my enthusiasm for travel, so we enjoy our adventures together whether it is hiking at a National Park, sailing on a Disney Cruise Ship, or going to Walt Disney World which is our home away from home. My husband proposed to me in front of Cinderella Castle and we have not stopped visiting ever since! It's a blast helping guests here at planDisney!
