Will I find children's sunglasses at Disney World?

[MomtothreeEs]

I have no idea if this is a ridiculous question or not. I've never been to Disney World. I stopped by the local Disney Store this morning, and for some reason, their sunglasses fit really small this year. My 5 year old only wants Mickey Mouse sunglasses, but I can't find any in his size. I know he will want to wear sunglasses at WDW. If I wait, will I have a decent selection when we get there? I had planned on putting sunglasses in their Easter baskets, but I guess not.

I find a lot of sunglasses when their swimsuits are out...but I'm sure you'll find anything you need in a DTD store... they have EVERYTHING there!

Have you tried JCPenney? They are selling Disney items now, sometimes you can also get something at Walmart or Target, now even Kohl's with a Disney logo on it...

Yes. We have bought them for our kids on several trips.

I was in kohls today and there was a lot of Minnie Mouse stuff in the girls section, I would assume the same would hold true in the boys section.

The hotel gift shops sell sunglasses, as do the stores in the theme parks. You don't have to go to Downtown Disney to get them.

If you stop at a grocery store or drug store on the way to the hotel, they probably also will have them (and possibly at a lower cost).

But as a PP said, you might find them at a local store as well. In addition to the stores listed below, I would check CVS or Rite-Aid or Walgreens.

Thanks! Last night I checked Walmart and Kohls, and this morning I tried JcPenney and the Disney Store. No luck. The Disney Store is the only place that had Mickey sunglasses- everyone else just has Jake, Cars, and Spiderman. Hopefully we can find them beforehand, but it would be nice to have a backup plan.

I'm not sure if you can wait until you get to the parks but at Magic Kingdom we bought our son who is 6 years old a pair of really cute Mickey sunglasses. They actually have 2 mickey shaped heads for the lenses but then they fold out to the side. I don't know if I described that clearly. During the afternoon parade he had the mickey heads opened up to the side and we had 4 different characters walk up to him and close them! It was a really fun memory! When he wears them around here he also gets lots of comments about them too. We bought them at the end of Main street on the right from a cart that was selling all sorts of hats and sunglasses. So if you can wait these are a great souvenir!

Those should be available at any resort gift shop also.
