Park exclusive items Disney collectors would like

[APiratesLifeForMe2]

Our friend has provided us with park tickets so that DH and I can fit in a quick 2 night trip to Disney World. We had airline credits so this is a very low budget trip and would not have happened without these park tickets! We want to get him something extra special but need some suggestions. He collects many Disney items and is a Disney cast member at the Disney Store. He rarely gets to the parks so I would like to find items he can't purchase himself (though Disney Store). One thing we will be hoping to get is the Cinderella popcorn bucket in Hollywood Studios but aside from that I am at a loss. Please help!!!

If he drinks coffee the Starbucks coffee mug at the Magic Kingdom can only be purchased at that location. Not sure the Epcot mug is back in stock yet but there is a mug at Disney Hollywood studio.

I don't believe he drinks coffee but that doesn't mean he wouldn't want a coffee cup!!! I will add it to the list of options, thanks.

Disney Stores do not carry some of the art that is at Downtown Disney's Art Store.

For instance, the 'Light Box' dioramas are less than I'm seeing on eBay.....

Keep in mind, to my knowledge, none of these are Limited Editions.

And if your friend has a favorite ride/attractions, there are many items for individual rides that are only available at the Parks.

Any more suggestions?

Is there anyway to ask him what he likes to collect? There are a lot of things you can only buy at the park.. For example: does he like the pins? Depending on the time of the year you visit they may have limited edition/seasonal pins for sale that you might be able to get on ebay but they dont sell them online on the disney store...Some of us do collect popcorn buckets and there are different ones..does he like he sorcers of the magic kingdom cards? You can pick him up a couple of those? (and those are free!)

Most of the resorted have their own merch. A quick trip to any of the ones on the monorail should help you find something.

Thanks everyone. I did tell him to get me a list of things I can bring him back but he hasn't asked for anything yet. The only thing he has mentioned is the popcorn bucket.

One thing we always look at is the vinylmations. You can purchase some at the Disney store but the majority are park exclusives. Another thing we like are Christmas ornaments. Once again - some you can purchase but most are park/DTD exclusives.
