DH Phillip and I shopped separately so we could make the best use of our time. The thing we were happiest about was, as soon as you walked in the door, there was a huge display of Haunted Mansion Imagineering merchandise. If you are a Haunted Mansion fan, you know that there is just not much of this merchandise in the parks. Here, there were polo shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, caps, t-shirts, mugs, pens, pins, prints, etc.!!!! We both did quite well in this area. In fact, this is where Phillip made his most expensive purchase a Haunted Mansion letterman style jacket. You know the kind. Wool body with leather/vinyl sleeves, snap front. This one is black and has a HUGE Haunted Mansion logo on the back.
Like I said, the prices were very reasonable. As an example, I purchased a Walt Disney Imagineering university-style hooded sweatshirt. Something similar in the parks would probably be $65. Here, it was under $30.
My big purchase was a watch. They didnt have a lot of jewelry or watches, so I was pleased to find a womens black faced rectangular watch with a Sorcerer Mickey and Walt Disney Imagineering on the face. Even this was priced originally at $48, but I used my 40% off coupon. Quite the bargain.
Some in our group purchased framed artwork. Lots bought limited edition Imagineering pins. As members of the group checked out, we made our way to the tables in the courtyard outside and watched others walk out with their bags and bags of purchases. Cheering for each person. Counting bags. Joking about who had purchased the most. Like I said, we had taken two hours instead of 45 minutes. It was a blast!
