Recommend Disney shopping outside of Disney Property

[ArielRae]

I'm hoping you all could recommend some really good stores that have disney merchandise especially themepark merchandise that is outside of disney property. I remember someone posting about a store that had last years merchandise at a discount.

Are you thinking of the Premium Outlets? There's a store called Disney Character Premiere which has Disney merchandise at reduced prices.

That maybe it. Where is it and how far from Disney?

The character's warehouses are both Disney owned, and have Disney theme park merchandise, including star wars, Espn, pins, etc, at deeply discounted prices. There are 2.

We visited both this past summer, and found too many great deals. The best deal was a pair of purple Minnie Crocs for my daughter for $5.

We went to the Prime Outlets last Nov and didn't find anything for us or anyone we were looking to buy gifts for. It honestly felt like a wasted trip. On our last night at WDW, I had to run into Target near AKL and saw that they had a nice Disney clothing section. I didn't have to time to really check it out, but plan to on this next trip!

The great thing about these outlets is that the merchandise is changing all the time so if you do not find something one time, you may the next. But I have to agree too, I didn't like the store at the Prime Outlets. 2 reasons, 1. That mall is a nightmare to park at and then fight the other shoppers to even walk through the place. and 2, it was a smaller store.

Sometimes, some of the stores on property have clearance racks - so if you want bargains, but don't want to bother with offsite, sometimes you can shop the sale racks onsite.
