Must see stores

We have been to Disneyland many times - but have never been in any stores!!! We are going at the end of this month again. What are some stores we MUST visit on Main Street? And also in California Adventure?

Most of the stores actually inhabit more than one of the "storefronts" you see on Main Street. The Emporium is one of the biggest ones, and you can find most anything there. Before WOD opened in DTD I'd say that was THE place to find your souvenir. Elias & Co is the same at DCA.

I got a really cute Minnie Mouse type dress at Disney Clothiers as well.

All of them! LOL! I'm a total shopper and love seeing the different items each store has. I can get lost in the Emporium for hours.

We have made the mistake of not buying something we want, when we see it. With the thought, we'd buy it on the way out of the park at the BIG store at the end of main street. I dislike carrying bags around all day....

We found not all things are in all stores through out the parks. Then we have to remember where we saw it and trek back to buy it. We have decided to make a Picture Shopping List with the camera, of where things are so we know and can pick it up at the end of the day.

I love the Disneyana store. They have the most beautiful collectibles, even if you're not buying, it's worth a look. I also always do the silhouettes in that little shop in Main Street - not sure of the name of it though, it's on the right as you're walking towards the castle, it's a tiny shop. Don't worry about having to carry bags around, you can leave them and collect them at the end of the day at the newsstand out the front of the park...or at least you could last time I was there. Have fun shopping!

Geemo that is a great idea about taking pics of the shops where you see things you might be interested in. I like to look around ALOT before I buy things. I don't like to buy one shirt only to find one I like better. We will be in the parks 5 days so I can do a lot of looking and forget where I saw things. Do they still do the package service where you pick up your purchases at the front? . If so, is there a big line/wait to pick up your package?
