I tried to save doing that one year. I had heard that a local walmart had Disney merchandise cheaper. Boy was I dissapointed! if you are getting some sort of fun book it will have a coupon for 10% off at World of Disney Store. believe me it goes a lot further than you think! Also keep in mind that your kids will also want to go to build a bear and probably Rainforest Cafe. At least my kids found things there as well that they wanted. There is a Pooh store in Critter Country, so hopefully you will find a heffalump there. The princess outfits are expensive like about 40 or more on some of them.. Keep in mind that they are cute but very itchy, unless things have changed in the last 9 years or so (my only girl is 10). The sweatshirts are for kids sizes about 36.00 and grownups between 50 and 60. As expensive as this seems and yes I was concerned about my kids growing out of them to fast, I bought them. I am very glad I did because the quality is excellent. I wear mine all the time. I think the Goofy Hats are about 14.00. Good Luck!

While they might not have everything on your kids' wishlists, you might want to take a visit to Disney's Character Warehouse Outlet Store just up Harbor Blvd. from the Disneyland Resort. Here's some information:

Disney's Character Warehouse Outlet Store
Orangefair Marketplace
243 Orangefair Mall
Fullerton, CA 92832
714-870-9363

There's even a 10% off coupon here:

It is close-out merchandise but they seem to have a pretty good selection. It should save you some money if you find merchandise that you like.

Good luck,
Matt

Have a great time! Disney has done an excellent job of making Build a Bear unavoidable so good luck with that too! Let us know when you get back how it went!
