Hi there, Katherine! Welcome to planDisney - we're so glad you're here! I'm delighted to offer some shopping tips for a fellow
Tangled aficionado and help add a little extra pizzazz to your park-going wardrobe at
Walt Disney World Resort.
A solo trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth is always a fantastic idea. I traveled to Florida by myself this summer for a planDisney project and had a great time exploring on my own a bit! It's always fun to wander through the different shops around Walt Disney World and find a perfect souvenir (or three - no judgment!) to remember your trip when you're back home.
Let's start with your cozy clogs. I haven't seen these recently, but since they're suited to cooler temperatures, it's the type of item that is more likely to be seen in the winter months! As for the Rapunzel ear headband - this has been a hot commodity for several months after initially debuting in the summer at
Disneyland Resort. In a most magical coincidence, I had a girls' trip planned with my planDisney pals Jenna and Melissa, and I was able to snag one on my West Coast travels!
These pink and purple beauties made their way to Walt Disney World Resort a couple of months later, and I've heard of Guests finding them in a few different spots as recently as this week. In general, your best bet will be to check the biggest stores early in the day to increase your chances of finding a headband when they restock. My top suggestions are the
Creations Shop in
EPCOT,
Emporium in
Magic Kingdom Park, and
World of Disney at
Disney Springs (home to the world's largest collection of Disney merchandise!). If you don't see what you're looking for, be sure to ask the Cast Members in the shops - they will be up-to-date on all of the available merch and might have some tips to track down your coveted items!
Katherine, I hope you have the most magical vacation in January and enjoy experiencing the parks on your own. Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney, and please come see us again if we can help with any other questions you might have.
See Ya Real Soon!
Susan
