Best place for low prices on cheap souvenirs, beach clothes etc

In the WDW area within say 20 minutes drive... Ideas?

There are a ton of tacky beach-type stores along I-192 that have just what you're looking for. I don't remember any names, but they're tacky and loud (in color/style), and all along that strip. Plenty of restaurants, too. I recall some with purple mermaids on the roof, giant crabs, that sort of thing. They're tough to miss. FTR, Myrtle Beach has the same sort of thing, and I've been there more recently, so it may be that the mermaids and crabs were there. But, you get the idea.

Yep, there are endless, and I mean endless gift shops along Rt. 192. Several have a giant wizard head on them, pretty hard to miss. Our favorite is Bargain World, which actually isn't on 192, but nearby...it's just outside of DS.

We got ours at walmart Turkey Lake, but I think all the WM close have the stuff.... they have a huge department at the front of everything you could want. Kids got disney shirts and harry potter shirts as well as all our beach stuff

Isn't the cheapest place to buy them online?

I really liked going to the Disney Character Warehouses last year. There is one at 8200 Vineland Ave, and 4951 International Dr (both in malls) I got a lot of stuff for 1/3 of what the things in the parks cost.

We find lots of Disney stuff at the nearby Walmarts as well as the Character warehouse outlets. Some of the stuff at the outlets is way over priced, but we have also found occasional steals like Disney Store T-shirts for $1! They restock every morning and get limited numbers of certain specialty items each day, so go early if you can.

Well since you did not mention weather you want cheap WDW or Florida souvenirs I'll through this out there. If you want Florida souvenirs Target and Walmart will not have them but they will have WDW ones. If it's Florida souveners that you want then the shops on 192 will have what you want.

Just to let you know research shows that the Disney Merchandise on 192 at the tourist shops is authentic, it is not counterfeit. I read an article in the Orlando Sentinel stating the Disney Counterfeit Police visit all those shops weekly to ensure compliance with the applicable legislation regarding reselling of
Disney merchandise. I found great prices on Disney merchandise and Florida stuff at the CVS near Sherberth Road in Kissimmee. Not as cheap as Walmart but if you want to avoid long lines it is worth spending a couple extra dollars.
