Another alternative is public transportation for $1.25 each way or $3.00 all day ticket. The #43 bus from Harbor Blvd at the Disneyland Entrance is about 20-25 minutes to the Disney's Character Warehouse Outlet on Orangefair Mall in Fullerton.
I've just added the details of this to my notes - thank you so much for providing this info!
We're used to small town driving where we live in NE Scotland, so there is no way I am going to attempt driving in a big city and/or on a freeway when we visit DL for the first time next month. Knowing we can catch a bus there is such a relief.
I have always found the Character Warehouse Outlets over in Orlando hit and miss too - but I always visit them just in case they have the perfect item for me! We always find something we want to bring home there.
We'll be at DL at the end of June, and I've always wondered what the Disney Outlet store is like. Is it worth going to? Or can you get better deals at the Disney Store Outlet?
We have one by us at the moment, and I always stock up on t-shirts and trinkets to hand out at the park. Kids dont care where it came from they just want stuff. It cuts down on the I WANT THAT'S!
