January Holiday Clearance in WDW Shops?

[Disneylvr]

We are going to WDW in about 3 weeks, obviously after the holidays. Does WDW discount their holiday related merchandise after Christmas? We are hoping to find some great bargains.

The year we went for Christmas, everything was already highly marked down when we arrived on 12/18 (we were glad we had not purchased some holiday items when we had been there in mid-November). I'm not sure what would be left into January, plus I'm sure not too long into January they want those items out of the stores. We have been numerous times around January 18th time frame and I don't recall seeing Christmas items in the stores.

Holiday and 2011 merchandise will probably be moved to the outlets by then. If they don't have anything in the parks and you have time for a shopping day, the outlet is very close to Downtown Disney. The outlet already had discounted Christmas ornaments when we went in October.

It's not called Disney Outlet, the name of the store is Character Premiere.

We have been the last 5 Decembers and some of the time, there were some sales. In 2008, there was 50% off all ornaments, but since then, the sales weren't as good. I have seen items with the previous year on them on sale.

I have seen posts from people going in January that said there was nothing on sale at all.

Well darn. But thank you for the information.
