Write it down!!

Just a little tip we finally figured out...the last time we went (2002)we would find something we wanted and figured we'd come back to it later or get it elsewhere only to find out that either we couldn't remember where we saw it or we couldn't find it anywhere else. Though you can find most things at any of the parks some things are limited to one park and some to even one shop so this year we are taking alittle notebook so we can writed down exactly what we saw and where so we know where to look (especially in the beginning where we don't want to buy the first thing we see at the first place we go)...we plan on doing some park hopping so it won't be a big deal to go back later to pick up something we saw earlier in the week.

Good tip! I have never been before and am really looking forward to all the Disney stuff to buy, yet I know I have to pace myself because I only want to get a few really cool items. It would be just like me to forget where I saw something !

Ah, but a word of advise.... you may not find what you want, when you go back for it. I speak from painful experience. We were at WDW in March, and I caught sight of the 2004 scrapbook, which I really wanted. It was in our resort (CSR) gift shop, and in World of Disney. I saw it the day we arrived, and even a couple of days later, but didn't want to buy it and have it sit around our room, so I waited. When it was time to buy, all stores at Disney were sold out! I was SO upset! The sweet CM at the resort told me to call Disney Merchandising, which I did when we got home. I was able to order it, but I had to pay shipping and handling. It arrived a couple of weeks ago (it was backordered). So, if you see something you think you really want, get it!!!

You're right there! When I was at Disneyland last year I saw and wanted a Jack Skellington black hooded sweatshirt which I thought was so cool. Except we were in a rush to the next ride so I thought I would think about it and come back. Never did, and I regret it! I don't suppose they have Nightmare products at WDW? We will be going in November, so I hope so!

Fyi, Disneyland has a mail order service @ (800) 362-4533 or via email @ dldelivears@disney.com. I know I saw some Skellington items in the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney just yesterday. Not sure if it was the hooded sweatshirt, but I'm sure they'll be glad to help you out.

Thank you ! I will be checking out Yankee Trader in November for sure and I'll think about the mail service too, great to know it exists!
