I'm looking for a high quality Mickey watch and am a newbie headed to DL/DCA. Is there one particular shop or shops I should head for to find them?
TIA
There's an area in World of Disney in DTD that has collectibles and higher end stuff in cases. There's a store on Main St called Fortuosity Shop that used to be mostly watches, but has now really branched out into jewlery and purses. And in DCA the most likely place would be Off the Page. You'll likely find the same items in all 3 places.
The Fortuosity Shop (part of the Emporium complex, closest to Carnation Cafe on Main Street) often has some watches, including the Artisan (hand-drawn) ones. Surprisingly, I've also seen a handful of watches at Rushin' River Outfitters in DCA.
In my experience there are two. One in DL and one in DCA.
At DL go to the first set of shops on the left of main street (when looking at Sleeping Beuty Castle) and the very last actual shop of that row is a higher end jewelry section. Right by the last door was a jewelry case that had some very nice Disney watches including the limited edition ones.
At DCA it is pretty much the same just different names. So when looking down Buena Vista Street towards Carthy Circle the last section of the main shops on the left usually is where the higher end watches and jewelry are.
There is also a shop at DTD and sometimes they can be found at World of Disney too.
