Hi Renee! Thanks for reaching out to us at planDisney with your question.
It sounds like you are my kind of park hopper...someone who has a bunch of souvenirs to carry around with them! I'm no stranger to browsing the many
merchandise locations around the
Walt Disney World Resort and succumbing to the temptation of the many unique souvenirs that can only be found in those shops! My favorite merchandise location for unique souvenirs?
Memento Mori in
Magic Kingdom Park, where you can find all things
Haunted Mansion related! My favorite shop for all things Walt Disney World?
World of Disney in
Disney Springs, where you're bound to find something for everyone!
When entering the theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort, all bags are subject to inspection by security. They will all go through an initial detection screening and then, if deemed necessary, further inspection by the Security team. Before entering the parks, be sure to review the
Property Rules, Policies & Regulations page for specific information on prohibited items.
If you'd prefer not to carry things around with you, you can always choose to
rent a locker at the front of one of the parks to store bulky items. Sometimes I'll even visit Disney Springs on my arrival day and pick up some souvenirs at the World of Disney and store them in my room. Of course, there are
some items from the parks that are sold on
shopDisney that you can have delivered straight to your home. And speaking of delivery, some shops and even most
Disney Resorts Collection Hotels offer you the ability to
ship items home (at a cost) so you don't even have to worry about transporting them home yourself! Just ask a friendly Cast Member at the merchandise location or the front desk of your hotel!
Renee, happy shopping! I hope you have a wonderful visit to the resort. If you have any other questions leading up to your visit,
feel free to ask me. I'd be happy to help!
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think,
Matt
