Where To Buy Disney Merchandise When You Can’t Get To The Disney Parks

Shopping when taking a Disney vacation is a certainty. Browsing the Disney stores allows you to look for a perfect souvenir to take home. For those who aren’t shoppers, you’ll enjoy taking a break from the sun and cooling off in the AC. However, there are plenty of stores to find Disney merchandise when you are far away from the Disney Parks. Whether you are looking for something for yourself or want the perfect gift for a friend or loved one, knowing where to shop is good. Here are some of the best places to find Disney merchandise when you can’t get to the Disney Parks.

Shop Disney

The online Disney Store is our first port of call when we need Disney merchandise. Shop Disney is the best place to buy merchandise, that is also available in the Disney Parks. You will find collections exclusive to Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resort online. You can order everything, from apparel to homewares, plush toys, stationery, and more.

Look out for discount codes online that will help you to save money on your purchases. Shop Disney allows you to buy merchandise before your Disney vacation. Alternatively, if you’re short on space in your luggage, you can order your souvenirs online and have them shipped home, so you have something to open when you’ve returned. Shop Disney is also ideal when you decide after you’ve returned from your Disney vacation that you should have bought a piece of merchandise.

Hallmark

You may know Hallmark for its greeting cards. However, Hallmark also has an excellent selection of Disney gifts you can buy for someone else or treat yourself to. You will find the full range of Disney merchandise online, while your local store will stock a selection of pieces. Pieces of Disney merchandise include photo frames, plush toys, mugs, statues, and more.

Additionally, from July onwards, Hallmark is known to release their Keepsake Ornaments. Every year, a new collection of Christmas ornaments are released. They feature favorite Disney characters, Disney Park attractions, and movies. Your local Hallmark store should stock all designs. However, some decorations are popular and sell out quickly. If you need help finding an ornament in store, check online.

HomeGoods & TJ Maxx

Can you spend hours browsing HomeGoods and TJ Maxx? Us too! We especially like to browse the stores for Disney items. The jewelry sections are a great place to find discounted BaubleBar x Disney pieces, such as earrings and bag charms. We also enjoy browsing the kitchen section for Rae Dunn Disney mugs and kitchen storage jars. If you are still looking for something in one store, it’s worth checking another local HomeGoods and TJ Maxx store; no two stores receive the same deliveries.

Burlington

Like HomeGoods & TJ Maxx, Burlington is an excellent store to browse for deals on Disney merchandise. Burlington stocks plenty of discounted Disney items. While the available pieces vary between visits, you may find Mickey Ears, clothing, pet accessories, bags, ornaments, mugs, and more. The store has even been known to stock Spirit Jerseys from the Disney Parks. We recommend visiting Burlington early in the morning for the best chance to find some Disney bargains. If you see something, don’t wait to purchase it; it may be gone the next time you visit.

Basin

We love to treat ourselves to bath bombs, body scrubs, shampoo and conditioners, and more when visiting Basin in Disney Springs or Basin White in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. However, if you run out of goodies, the good news is you can place an order online to replenish your stock. The entire collection of Basin products is available online, including their Disney collections. Furthermore, new products that are released in-store are also available online. Check for discounts if you are placing an order online.

Uniqlo

If you hope to stock up on Disney clothing before your Disney vacation, Uniqlo is a shop to consider purchasing from. While their selection of Disney products varies throughout the year, apparel from Uniqlo is reasonably priced. The designs can also be unique, allowing you to buy products you won’t find elsewhere. Uniqlo has Disney collections for women, men, children, and babies, so you’re sure to find something for all of your family.

Petunia Pickle Bottom

If you or somebody you know is due to welcome a new addition to their family, they may have heard of Petunia Pickle Bottom.

You will also find exclusive designs, upcoming designs, and their release date online. Additionally, Loungefly ear headbands can be purchased online, allowing you to expand your collection before your next Disney vacation.

There is a wide variety of pieces available through Amazon. Some of our favorite Disney merchandise on Amazon include jigsaw puzzles, collectors’ plush toys, apparel, and books. If you hope to buy a gift for a Disney-loving friend or relative, you may find a bargain.

You will also find items for other members of your family. If you can’t find what you are looking for in store, make sure you check online to see additional products that are available to buy.

LEGO

For Guests who are young and young at heart, the LEGO store in Disney Springs is an exciting store to visit when vacationing in the Walt Disney World Resort. The excellent news is that the LEGO Disney collection continues to grow, with brand-new pieces being released regularly. The Disney sets are collector’s pieces, as they are only available for a while. We recommend keeping the box and guidebook if you buy a set. If you choose to sell at a later date, you may be able to get close to what you paid for it. Alternatively, place it somewhere in your home that you can admire regularly.
