    Default Which Park do you by more souveniers in?

    Was wondering if folks have one park that they typically end up buying more souveniers in?

    For me in would probably be Epcot b/c I usually like getting keepsakes from each of the different countries and my DS16 likes to get soccer jerseys from his favorite countries.

    Anyone else?

    Unless we see a must have, we wait until the day before we leave to buy souvenirs. We go to Downtown Disney to buy them at the "Disney Depot".

    EPCOT by far! So many amazing things there. I think I could easily spend a couple of thousand if I were rich!

    Plus with MouseGear, I love that everything is pretty much in one place [Disney themed].

    I think I really want to start a coffee mug collection with one from each country. I usually get one that is Disney themed, or at least the yearly one.

    And I love my coffee, so they are put to good use!

    Epcot!

    I think Mouse Gear is the best merchandise shop on property.

    And, I always have to get a new Epcot tee each trip.

    Probably Dtd, at the World of Disney. We browse all the shops throughout the week and end up buying it all (nearly all) at the end. There are occasional items that we know will not be downtown, so we'll get it at that time, otherwise, it's at the end .....

    I have to agree we buy most of our souviners at Epcot. I also have a tradition of picking up a Christmas pickle ornament in Germany.

    Mouse Gears and World of Disney for me. I usually look around for the best coffee mug and choose one the last or second to last day at one of these two locations.

    Epcot, mostly for MouseGear. My wife loves the Wotld Showcase, especially Italy.

    When Mouse About Town had nice men's apparel, I used to love to shop there. Now, it's the same generic variety you see in every store.

    well I guess Magic kingdom at the Emporium or mouse gear at EPCOT! Really I wish they would start to offer park or attraction specific merchandise! Maybe even some resort stuff!

    Magic kingdom. I love shopping on main street. I love walking through the stores and listening to the music loop! Now that there is a beauty and the beast store, thats a whole other issue! I spent way too much money in that store my last trip, but it was worth it!

    Years ago, it absolutely would've been EPCOT. But the last few years we've enjoyed a lot more time in the AK, and I just find it very difficult to get my wife away from that park without some fun souvenir she finds!!

    I always tell everyone let’s wait. This way we are not carrying bags around the park. Now that they are older and we don't have the stroller space anymore. We take a night/day either last or during the trip to hit DTD. I prefer to go during the trip this way it never feels like the last night. lol Plus I don't like to be rushed when im strolling around the stores just taking in all the cool Disney stuff. We used to go the last day and it always felt to rushed and knowing we have to hit the road home is a downer in the stores...
    Been there, done that and going back!!! See ya real soon !!!

    We buy a lot of our little generic souveniers like key chains, magnets etc...at Downtown Disney at World of Disney and we always go to the Christmas store there for an ornament as well....otherwise I would say Epcot for unique gifts

    Seems to be the Emporium in the MK. But Epcot is very close. However, Downtown Disney is an entire day shopping.
