Hi Ginny! I am totally with you on the Disney print purses. You are correct, you can no longer find the Mickeydoki style in the parks. There are a few on ebay, but it looks like they are quite rare.
The
Disney Dooney & Bourke collaboration has taken center stage as the star designer bags now, and with all the different prints and bag styles, there really is something for everyone. I may be a bit biased though, as you could say I'm a bit obsessed with these bags! ;)
Never fear if D&B is not your thing; there are still many other types of purses to choose from, all with unique designs and styles. While there may not be a Disney park-themed style right
now, merchandise is changing all the time and there is always something new to love. With stores like
Tren-D at the Downtown Disney Marketplace and all the park and resort shops too, there is bound to be a design you love when you arrive in September. Be sure to check out the new
D-Street shop over at Downtown Disney West Side - they have some really cool Vinylmation-themed bags there that might catch your eye. I think the hardest part of your trip will be deciding which purse to buy!
I hope you find a purse that makes you shout out "
Hoop Dee Doo!" and have a magical vacation! Thank you so much for visiting the Walt Disney World Moms Panel!
