Shopping at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is an attraction all in itself. Anything and everything that has to do with Disney, you can find while shopping at the Magic Kingdom. This is a great way to make memories that last. T-shirts, mugs, picture frames, and dolls- there is so much merchandise, you will probably want it all! Shopping is a definite thing to do and it’s fun to do right before you leave the park. I know from experience that lugging around bags all day isn’t the best thing to do. Should you decide that you don’t want to carry your packages around all day, packages can be delivered to your Disney hotel and can be delivered to a shop at the front of the park for pick up before you leave. What they do is this: You tell the cashier that you want your merchandise delivered to your hotel. They cast their magic and bibbty bobbity boo your merchandise is at your hotel or at the front of the park.
Shopping can be fun for all ages. Shopping has no height requirements, you don’t have to transfer from your wheelchair or motorized scooter. Flash photography is allowed, and it is just fun to see everything that Disney comes up with to sell. While shopping, you can found dozens of Hidden Mickey’s in almost every store. While shopping, there are also many photo-ops. With all of the merchandise, you can get very creative with pictures and poses. Best thing of all, the cast members don’t mind it.
GREAT TIP: Certain times of the year, participating restaurants throughout Disney will put on your receipt that you can get 30% off merchandise at select stores in that park. The cost of merchandise adds up fast and 30% can take quite a bit off of your final total.
