Best shops for souvenirs.
We are going to DW in June for my children DS 11, DS 9, DD 7 first time ever and have accumulated some money on our Disney Rewards Card. We would like to use them on souvenirs. What are some suggestions on some shops that we shouldn't pass up

World of Disney in DTD. It's massive, so it has a great selection plus you get a 10% discount if you show them that you have a Disney Visa.

Yep, for the 10% discount, World of Disney is your best bet - they've got some great pirate gear and princess items. Also, Mousegears at Epcot has some fabulous things, and the Emporium at Magic Kingdom also has many items to choose from.
If you have Star Wars fans in your family, Tattoine Traders at DHS has some really great exclusive stuff, too. In fact, I daresay that Tattoine Traders has gotten more of our money than most of the other shops combined over the years - and that's saying something! 
I should add that's exactly what we do with our rewards $$$$ !!!

There are so many great stores in WDW! In fact, if you're staying on property, you may enjoy shopping at your resort gift shop. We LOVE Everything POP! at POP Century.
There are many great stores in the parks as well as DTD. These are some of my favorites:
DTD: Once Upon a Toy, World of Disney
MK: TinkerBell's Treasures, The Chapeau (Mouse Ears!), The Emporium
Epcot: Mousegears, The Toy Soldier (U.K.), Mitsukoshi (Japan)
DHS: Beverly Sunset (villains stuff), Tatooine Traders
AK: Creature Comforts

Last trip, I forgot a backpack.
We couldn't find one our hotel (ASMovies) or the Contemporary, AK, or MK.
Ended up finding one at Mousegear in Epcot.
Also liked Tatooine Traders for Star Wars stuff and the Pirates Bazaar for pirate gear.

These are the 3 shops I spend the most in! They are my favorite shops at WDW. But I also like the shop right outside the POTC ride. Too much good stuff to buy!!

World of Disney is great, but it can be overwhelming. I don't know about leaving the little ones - even 'tween age - just to roam around. I'd be afraid to lose them in the, like, 12 rooms. You can find just about everything there.
I know I read there's a place where you can buy items for $10 and under at DTD, I couldn't find it though.
Our must-stop shops are the ornament store and kitchen store at DTD, the Emporium on Main Street, and Mouse Gears at Epcot.

I'm a Francophile. I love all the shops in the French Pavillion at Epcot. That seems to be where I spend most of my souvenir money.
I also love the store in the German pavillion that sells Christmas ornaments.
Speaking of the holidays, the Christmas shops at MK and Downtown Disney get a lot of my money as well.
For Disney stuff, I have always like MouseGears in Epcot.

World of Disney by far!! We love it and they have everything under one roof. There is pretty much nothing that you can't find there. Also, the 10% discount is nice!!

For me, Mousegears in Epcot and World of Disney in DTD were my favs. Of course the Emporium and Tinkerbell's Treasures are the classics I can't pass up in MK too! Love to shop!

The gift shop near the Safari in AK has a lot of cool stuff. Also, the shop near the end of the Backlot Tour ride has some cool Hollywood-type souveneirs.
All the pavillions in the World Showcase have some incredibly unique items that you'll love. Norway has some of the best gifts.

Ooooooooooooh, the home store at DTD, can't remember the name. I always allow myself one (okay, maybe more than one) item from there. Last time it was a Mickey shaped cutting board inside of a wooden Mickey tray. Can't get enough!

The World of Disney at DTD is just massive and will have pretty much everything!!!
I would also suggest the Emporium at the MK and Mouse Gears at Epcot. These are some souvenier shops we can never pass up!

I will agree with all the posters who suggest World of Disney but sometimes it can be very busy especially on a night and it is BIG - I always manage to lose my family so we always agree a place to meet just in case we all get lost!
My favorite place to shop is Mousegears in Epcot - its big, never seems too busy and have a great selection - I'm sure most of my money gets spent there somehow...
