I knew I wanted 4 or 5 Disney shirts{since we can't get them at home any more] and a few trading pins. Beyond that I had hoped for some great Bargins!!
At BELZ I found Disney Park shirts, dated 2000[which was ok by me,that was a Milestone Date!!]for $4.99 and I bought one in every color in my size! Then I moved to character shirts. The only one of my favorites that they had was Minnie at $9.99 ,but Dh fould his favorite Donald in a great pose$11.99! and a pair of Mickey sweats$11.99, then by chance we both picked a pocket shirt with a small Mickey Dh's is Black And Mine is Grayeach $9.99!! DD found a Tee top $5.00 she wanted and the cutest Mickey earrings that were only $1.99 and a .99 autograph book!! And We thought we had hit the Jackpot!!
But then we found the Buena Vista Factory Stores on S R 535 not more than 3 miles from WDW. AT the Big Character Corner[yes there are 2.one big store and one little one] we found Disney Hats for $2.99 the very ones DD had been looking at for $22.00!! I found a Small leather tooled purse for .99[it looked like the ones in AK]and a AK tin with the gang on it for .99[it is excellant for keeping hair accessories in]And I got another $4.99 shirt, MK fireworks shirt w Mickey, Goofy,Pluto,and Donald on it!!DH found Donald in his Toontown Boat[metal die cast,we saw these all over the WDW Parks for .99 and trading PINS only $1.99 I bought 12 of these!!!!
We missed getting any Sweatshirts!! THEY were at Belz and I ran out of time!!
After saving a ton on the stuff we Thought would be Expensive we're able to afford a few small things like,TOT pins $1.50,RnR Music shaped pens and pencils,an AK water Strap,AT MExico DD bought her spanish class a $3.00 Mexican Flag and a $1.50 bag of Lemon salt that is to be eaten like a snack. DD's must have was the Plant Hollywood NSYNC Hands Autographed shirt. Mine was the Large water Resistent Purse/bag that hangs on your shoulder,mine has a large Sorcer Mickey on it $22.00 and Dh had to have the Big Spiderman Mug!!
I hope this helps you!!!
