If you are like me and you are a sucker for merchandise then this post is for you. Within this Disney series I have tried to put together all the posts which I wish I had been able to read before I went away.
Before this trip I did not think I would be too bothered about getting on board with lanyards and pins. Me and my sister decided on day one that we would buy a lanyard to keep our magic pass and fast passes for the rides in. Once we started to walk around the Disney Village we were drawn into all the different pins that were on sale. There was a shop called Emporium on Main Street which had the best pins which we could find. It had the biggest variety and I honestly spent 30 minutes+ deciding on which pins I actually wanted. In all honesty there are pins in every shop you go in, I tried not to get too excited but it is so hard as there are some majorly cute ones.
At the end of the big rides they have individual shops which are all based on the rides characters. One which I loved in particular is the Buzz Lightyear shop. I totally loved the ride and then when I came out into the shop I thought it was fab. The individual shops are great if you want something particular as they have more character themed merchandise.
In terms of buying clothing and accessories Disney Fashion in the Village is the place to be. This is probably my fave shop. My sister and I really loved the jewellery which this shop had to offer. We both bought the minnie mouse birth stone earrings which also come in a full collection including necklaces and bracelets. I have worn these everyday since I bought them and I have got so many compliments. If you like Pandora charms at each park they have disney exclusives. At Disneyland Paris they had some lovely charms and I treated myself to one. I think it is great way to remember such a fabulous trip. There is a few places you can buy Pandora charms from throughout the parks, however I found this shop was laid out really well. This shop also sells spirit jerseys which a lot of dedicated disney fans collect at the different parks. I really wanted a spirit jersey in particularly the purple potion one, however the price shocked me. I thought they would be 50 Euros maximum, but they were in fact 70.
In terms of wanting the must have merchandise the Disney Store in the Village is great. We went in here on the first day and it definitely got us in the ultimate disney mood. It has a wide range of absolutely everything. We bought our lanyards from here and it got us in the spirit and we practically skipped into the parks. It has all of the little bits and bobs which I always can't resist such as keyrings and pens. There is just something about picking up the little things that I really do not need.
Inside the princess castle there is a little shop called La Boutique de Chateau. This has some beautiful and surprising things in it. I know we went in February but this has lots of Christmas baubles and extras that are all exclusive. Everything looked so beautifully displayed. It also has ornaments and ornate pieces of different aspects of disney which I really loved. It shows that they have a vast variety of merchandise to try to cater to everyone from the lowest to the highest end.
I kept seeing on Instagram that you could get mickey shaped confectionery and I am sucker for anything like that. I managed to track down that you could get these goodies from Cookie Kitchen which is located on Main Street. On the last day I decided to buy a few bits from the kitchen which I could take home with me. I bought marshmallows and biscuits which were all mickey shaped, and they are just about as Disney as you can get. This shop also sells other food goods which are all just as charming.
These are just a handful of my favourite shops which I came across. There are soooo many shops within the village and both of the parks. For sure you could spend a full day just going in and out of them and picking up everything which you could ever want!
