Have you ever visited Walt Disney World, opted not to get a great souvenir or toy, and then regretted it later? Or perhaps you wanted to make a visit to the park already decked out in Mickey ears and a fun Disney shirt, but you couldn’t find the right apparel online or in stores. Well, Disney fans can now rejoice - Walt Disney World is now offering its famous theme park merchandise online.

“We are delighted to be able to offer this great experience and convenience to our loyal guests who can now go to DisneyStore.com and purchase that forgotten item, one that was too large to carry or one that will make their Disney vacation all that more magical, like autograph books, which are great to have in advance,” said Edward Kummer, senior vice president of Disney Global E-Commerce. “Many of these products are among the most frequently asked for by our guests and now they are available to them at the click of a mouse.”

Before, you could only visit in-park spots like Epcot’s Mouse Gear, Magic Kingdom’s Emporium, Hollywood Studios’ Mickey’s of Hollywood, and Animal Kingdom’s Mombasa Marketplace to find particular character souvenirs, unique park apparel, and other fun park merchandise like Disney pins. Now, however, Disney lovers can simply visit DisneyStore.com (formerly DisneyShopping.com) to peruse more than 100 top-selling products previously available only at U.S. Disney parks. These include customizable novelty hats, birthday gifts, exclusive art, collectibles, toys, and plush items. And the products available will only grow throughout the year as the store adds special Disney theme park items just in time for the holidays.

At DisneyStore.com, guests can find a gift, shop by category, shop by character, and even personalize and create their own park merchandise. Guests can also locate Disney stores across the U.S. and have address and phone information sent to their e-mail address or cell phone.

Of course, just because you can now visit DisneyStore.com doesn’t mean park visitors should completely bypass the fun of shopping for souvenirs while visiting the parks. However, knowing that you can go online later and purchase an item, should you need time to consider whether you want it or not, definitely takes the pressure off Walt Disney World shopping.

And just as a heads up, you don’t have to pass up getting that special Walt Disney World gift for yourself or someone else just because the package is heavy. At each of the four parks, merchandise can be moved to the front entrance of the park for pick up at no charge, and it can also be delivered to Walt Disney World resorts at no charge as well. Shipping is also available for an additional charge at time of purchase.

So don’t hesitate to go on a shopping spree – whether it’s from the comfort of your computer or from within the Disney theme parks! We especially recommend logging on to get a pair of personalized Mickey Mouse ears, which you can rock on your next visit to Walt Disney World.
