Magical greetings, Louis, and welcome to planDisney! We've got gadgets and gizmos a plenty. We've got whozits and whatzits galore. You want thingamabobs? We've got twenty! And we can help you personalize them as well. Thanks for asking your question about special gifts for your children. I'm happy to help you.
I'm thrilled to share that yes, you can have many things personalized throughout the
Walt Disney World Resort. Inside Magic Kingdom, you'll find
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe, where artists are on hand to personalize Christmas ornaments, Minnie ears and even complimentary celebration buttons (personalization by an artist available for a fee). You can find a similar service at
Disney's Days of Christmas located at Disney Springs.
Both at Disney Springs and Magic Kingdom,
Crystal Arts by Arribas Brothers offers personalized engraving on their glass goods; some are even handmade on site. Personally, I always love to pay the glass blowers at the Magic Kingdom store a visit. It's fascinating to watch them at their craft.
Another favorite of mine is
Curtain Call Collectibles, also in Magic Kingdom. They can embroider many items like blankets, Mickey Ears and tote bags. I've had the strap on a tote bag and a set of Mickey Ears embroidered there before, and I was so impressed by the speed and quality.
Finally, if your kids are with you, think about getting a silhouette made of them. They do this at a kiosk off Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom. I brought a side profile photo of my dog once and had this done. In general, the artists at Walt Disney World are so impressive!
These are just a few ideas to get you started. I wouldn't be surprised if you happen upon some others during your visit I haven't mentioned here. There are so many treasures to be found just begging to become part of your world.
I hope this has been helpful to you, Louis. Flip your fins back over to us here at planDisney if you have any other questions we can help with.
Grab hold of your dreams!
