    Default Disney Mania Question #8

    You return to your resort one evening after a long day of touring and some unknown, yet fabulous, person has left you a $1000 Disney Gift Card. You can spend it one of two ways, either shopping exclusively at the various WDW resorts or at Downtown Disney but not at both (the park shops are not an option ). Which do you choose? Resort hopping shopping or Downtown Disney Shopping?

    Disney Mania Question #9 will be posted tomorrow in the Vacation Planning forum of Intercot.

    Ooooh! That's a tough one, because I love going in the resort shops, but I had to go with DTD because of WOD and Pin Traders. I could spend a ton of money in both of those stores!

    Thanks for these polls! They're a lot of fun!

    I do love shopping, but I'm really not much of a Downtown Disney fan. This one was easy. I love shopping at the resorts, and it's fun to see the different decor and some of the more unique items at each. Resorts for me.

    For sure DD! I love the World of Disney store and could without a doubt spend $1000 there VERY easily!

    I love going to all the resort shops, or anywhere shopping actually , but I had to go with DTD. I love the WoD and as a Pooh and friends addict and chocolate lover (I love Goofy's Candy Co.) I would be able to spend that money in a heartbeat! That's not even considering all the other stores I haven't been in yet.

    Don't get me wrong- I LOVE DTD !! but i have found some interesting stuff in the resort shops that i cant find in other places- i like the uniqueness of getting a wilderness lodge shirt or hat...
    So its a tough call

    I love DTD, but I chose resorts because they're all so very unique.

    Downtown Disney because they have Summer Sands...there is no way I could ever spend $1,000 in the Resorts for shopping...and I could never spend that much on Disney stuff. I could easily spend it on clothes, though.
