Shopping is one of the highlights of my trip. If you want any advice, just let me know. I love "World of Disney" - can easily spend an hour there - , the Christmas store, Once Upon a Toy... I also like to resort shop too - each resort has its own themed merchandise, as well as things you can find everywhere else at WDW.

One piece of advice - if you see something you like, don't assume you will find it again somewhere else. If you buy something and change your mind, you can always return it.

I have to agree with Kaitysmom on this one. I was there in December. I saw a keychain I really liked at two different parks. I assumed I would be able to find it at any of the parks, marketplace, and/or my hotel gift shop. WRONG. I spent the last day looking everywhere for it. I ended up getting something similar, but it's not exactly what I wanted.
Check into allearsnet.com, it'll have what you are looking for. Shopping is high on my priority list, so if you want to know anything specific, just ask.

I would start w/ DTD. It's a great way to shop w/o taking away from park time. Also, possibly take a day off and resort hop. This will allow you to check out all the gift shops and their unique items.

I'm looking forward to the shops at the Contemporary. They had a lot of variety and were uncrowded. My sister and figure that we can get there early for our PS at Chef Mickey, let the DH's take the kids to the arcade and we can power shop!!
