Can I find charms for my Pandora bracelet next week?

[Robertavz]

We will be in Disney next week! SO SO SO excited.

My sweet hubby bought me a Pandora bracelet last year for Mother's Day and I'm hoping to find a charm to remember our Disney trip.

I feel like I remember they had charms (not Pandora) at Disney but hoping someone can help me with if and where I could find one.

If you have bought them, do they fit well? I'll bring mine so I can try them to be sure.

I only have 3 charms because I want this bracelet to truly be filled with memories. I have a hedgehog because we used to have them as pets when we first were married. A dolphin because I was so thrilled to have seen so many on our anniversary trip to TX and the 'journey' bead Pandora makes because we started the adoption process again. Now I'm hoping to add one from my favorite place in this country. WDW.

Thanks for any help!!!

Don't remember seeing Pandora. My DD has a Chamila bracelet and necklace and they have a lot of Disney offerings. Recently bought her a couple she will get from dad on Valentine's Day. Just an FYI that if you put a Chamila charm on a Pandora piece (most will fit), it voids any warranty. We originally purchased a Pandora bracelet, but replaced it with the Chamila since it had the Disney charms. I am guessing that they have an exclusive agreement, but who knows. I have never seen a Pandora Disney charm.

The Disney charms are by Camilla...I seem to recall seeing them in Epcot (?). Check out their website...TONS of Disney charms! I have a pink rhinestone Mickey head, Tinkerbelle, and Jiminy to name a few!

My daughter has a Pandora bracelet and bought a charm this past Christmas at Downtown Disney (the big store). It fits fine but moves around on the bracelet. It does not stop at those points that are supposed to hold the charms in one spot. She still loves it though!!

Chamila charms, but most fit on a Pandora bracelet. You can find them in every park, pretty much:

* Uptown Jewlers on Main Street in MK
* Mouse Gears in Epcot
* The jewlery store in HS ( I can't remember the name of it)
* The more upscale clothing store in AK
* World of Disney at DTD

Plus the deluxe resorts often have a selection in their stores.

Have fun!

Thank you SO much!

Do that get grumpy that you are buying them for Pandora or do they not really care. Wondering if they try to push the Camilla bracelets.

Thanks so much for all the info. SO helpful.

I bought a charm for my daughter's bracelet (not a Pandora) at the Art of Animation resort gift shop - pink sparkly mickey head. I think it was about $12-14???

I have several pandora bracelets and the Mickey charm I have fits on all of them. My dh got me the Cinderella carriage the last time he was down there on business and it fits great too. I would recommend that one. Looks like Mickey when it's turned upside down. My mom got the Mickey head at the contemporary gift shop and it fit perfectly fine on her silver pandora as well.

Oh and I have the pandora hedgehog too. It's so cute!

They don't care..But if you ever bring it into Pandora, remove the Chamilia beads..or they will give you the whole.." You voided the pandora warranty by putting non-pandora beads on it"

Don't worry, they won't care. I got a Cinderella coach charm at the big store in the Contemporary, but they are in most bigger gift shops, like the previous posters said.

My sister has a Pandora bracelet and was concerned about voiding the warranty, so I bought her the cup and saucer charm from Pandora to represent WDW.

So both Pandora and Chamilia bracelets are new to me, but this sounds like a nice little souvenir I could get myself during each trip. Can anyone tell me the differences between the two? Maybe why you chose one over the other? How much is the bracelet itself at Disney?

Some of the Chamilia Disney charms do NOT fit the Pandora bracelet. I had brought my DD back a dangling swirly Mickey head one last year and we could not get it on her Pandora at all and had to mail it back. When she was there last month buying one, the CM specifically asked her if she had a Pandora or Chamilia bracelet because some of the newer charms would not fit Pandora. She took a chance anyway and got Aladdin's lamp and it did fit. IDK if you want to bring the bracelet with you to be sure. I am too afraid I will lose it. Next time I might just take off all but 1 or 2 beads and bring it along.

Basically chose the Chamilia because DD loves the Disney Charms and they have a bunch of different bracelets from Leather to gold that you can buy. My wife has a Pandora and loves it. I guess it really depends on if you want the Disney charms.

And while I agree that you are not committing treason or doing anything wrong putting a Chamilia charm on your Pandora bracelet, they do take the warranty seriously. I have never had any Chamilia rep or dealer say anything about a Pandora charm, but the Pandora people get pretty offended when they think you are using others products. From what they said (yes, dd had a Chamilia charm on a Pandora and got "caught") the Chamilia beads actually wear down the material on the jewelry somehow. Not sure if this is true, but my response was, She is an 8 year old?? Since then, I bought the Chamilia jewelry and she wears it all the time.

I would say that if you mostly plan on Disney charms then go with the chamillia bracelet. That way all of the Disney charms will fit for sure. I haven't looked in a while but they used to put some items in the disneystore.com parks jewelry section if you wanted to check that out. If they have one on there that would give you an idea of the cost. I think the silver pandora bracelet is $65 if i remember correctly. My mil once told me that chamillia was started by a brother or business partner that helped create pandora. Supposedly they had a falling out but I don't know if this is true or not.... anyway I have pandora bracelets and charms. The only chamillia charms I have are the two Disney charms. I think as far as quality goes they are very close.

Just take your braclet with you to get the beads. I have a Pandora bracelet and got three beads during our last trip. One of the beads I wanted did not fit. The lady at the counter in the Jewelry Store on Main Street encouraged me to try the beads on my bracelet. She didn't care at all that it was Pandora. I'm happy with the beads I purchased. There is no difference in quality between my Pandora beads and the Charmilla ones.

I was at the Poly gift shop in Dec and was told that not all of the Chamilla charms will fit the Pandora bracelets and that they only have a 24 hour return period. I didn't have my Pandora bracelet with me so I didn't buy the charm.

I was never interested in the pandora even though both of my dd's have them. I bought the chamilia simply because all I plan on putting on it are disney charms. I couldn't decide whether or not to buy the DCL charm on the boat because I still couldn't decide if I was even going to get the bracelet. Didn't know if I would wear it. I ended up buying it because you can only get it on the ship and was afraid I would regret it. Got the bracelet and snow white charm for Christmas. I love it. Wear it all the time. It is my disney bracelet. Going to get a WDW one when I go this fall
Disneystore.com does have chamilia charms but I think they only have 1 size bracelet. My dh bought my bracelet on chamilia.com and my snow white charm at disneystore.com

You all are so helpful. I love it.

I will definitely wear my Pandora bracelet for the week and I'm SO glad to know they won't get crabby with me for trying to buy one of their charms to put on it. I'm excited to add a Disney one (or 2 ) to always look at and make me smile.

I'm guessing it's going to be hard to choose which one I want.

Thanks again for the help. Really appreciate it!

Can't even WAIT to get there.
