    Hi! So I forgot to pick something up in the parks yesterday and don’t have a ticket for the park. I heard that Disney gives out 30 minute passes to go in and shop. Is this true? I don’t want to get to the park and be let down.

    Hello, Paige, and thanks for stopping by planDisney! 

    I feel this question deeply. How many times have I seen something in the parks that I want to buy, decided I'd wait until later, and then forgotten? Countless. Have I learned my lesson? Time will tell. Unfortunately, there is currently no shopping pass offered at Walt Disney World Resort. I believe there used to be something along those lines in Disneyland Resort in California many years ago, but it's a thing of the past now. If you want to enter a Disney theme park, you have to have a ticket or annual pass. 

    Is it an item that might be available in Disney Springs? World of Disney has the largest selection of Disney merchandise anywhere in the world! DisneyStyle and Marketplace Co-Op also have a variety of park souvenirs available. It might be worth checking out. 

    As a Florida resident, maybe you have a friend or family member who would be able to pick up the item next time they are in the parks? I'm 500 miles away, but I'm tempted to hop on a plane and help you out myself! (Clearly, I'll use any excuse to visit Walt Disney World!) You could also check the Disney Store online, as some of the merchandise is the same as what can be found in the theme parks. If you want to ask me about the specific item, I'll do my best to see if I can find it available anywhere else.

    I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance, Paige. I'm wishing on a star that you find the item you are searching for. If there's anything else we can help with, I hope you'll come back and see us at planDisney!
