Fantasy shops: what's the difference?

Do Mickey's Mainsail and Sea Treasures sell different merchandise? I've read that both are very busy on Embarkation evening, I'm trying to plan my shopping attack. LOL

Yes. Mickey's Mainsail tends to have more kid's stuff I'd say (like toys, costumes). touristy shirts, magnets, cups, etc. I feel like Sea Treasures is a little more upscale (but not fancy). They'll have the Loungflys, men's dressy polo shirts, etc.,

Thank you!

For certain clothing items, do your shopping the first night. For more generic touristy stuff, you can wait until later. The only time I've gotten a nice men's polo shirt was first night of my 4th cruise. By the time I'd look on previous cruises, most of the sizes were sold out. My wife accidentally left two dresses behind, so we bought her a cute dress the first night of the 5th cruise. By day 3, her size and most of the others were all gone.

I was told that for a lot of the clothing items, what they put out at the start of the cruise is what they've got. They may have more of some things, but unfortunately they always seem to run out of whatever size you need......

Wow, thanks for the advice, I was wondering if that was the case with availability.
