Best shops

[poohbearlover15]

I was wondering which park do you think has the best shops? I personally think it is Hollywood Studios!:mickey:

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

I'm an Epcot fan...the regular disney stuff (MouseGears), and all of the country-specific stuff in World Showcase. The best of all worlds!

[wedway76]

I didn't vote be cause I feel that with the exception of a relatively small amount of park specific merchandise, all of the shops have the same stuff.

[dolphinmickey9170]

Don't get me wrong, I love Mousegear, however, I just love the shops at MK. The Emporium, the surf shop in Adventureland, Yankee Trader, Christmas shop it's all fun!!

[scoot241]

As far as the parks go, I'd choose MK for the Christmas Store. However, I probably do more shopping at DTD than any of the parks.

[GrmGrninGost]

It was close, but I went with MK! :mickey:

[Bethanymouse]

Love the Epcot shops! All the WS is spectacular!

I also voted for HS, overall the shops are the best there. My family's single favourite shop, however, is the Caribbean plaza (?) at the end of PoC.
None compare to DTD though.

[Funforall]

I voted for HS because of the variety. I love looking at the movie props and signed stuff by the entrance and the villians shop is great too.

[jwallace378]

Epcot for all of the WS shops and Mousegear.

[RedSoxandPatsfan]

I think Epcot has the best shops. Everything that World Showcase has to offer is incredible. After that it would be MK then AK and lastly DHS.

[animalkingdomguy]

While EPCOT has the most diverse shops, I prefer shopping for Disney items at MK.

[BelleLovesTheBeast]

I voted for Epcot. I always buy stuff from the different countries and you can't buy it anywhere else in WDW.

I'm most disappointed in the selection at Studios. I only find stuff in the Villian store there.

Other than that I buy a lot at DD. I get my ornaments, collectables and other stuff there.

[RAIDER]

Epcot ..by a mile as its so diverse such as all of the shopping you can get in world showcase :thumbsup:

[DDuck66]

For my DW and I, it would have to be Epcot. They have all of the "normal" Disney souvenirs plus some original pieces that it is getting harder and harder to find as Disney goes toward a "mass market one style fits all set of merchandise".

[beksy]

For us it was Mouse Gears at Epcot. Although I love buying stuff at MK on this last trip I found that Mouse Gears had things that I could not get anywhere else (although if my non-shopaholic sister had given me more time I might have! :cool:) I also really liked DTD with WoD and the Pooh shop! Just not enough time to visit them all so I have to go back! :mickey:

[Mackflava99]

There are some really interesting stores at DHS-

Villians,
There is one where there is an artist doing sketches of cartoon characters all the time,

great movie themed stuff-

PLUS the Star wars Store is GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CU Tiger]

I say the MK has a good variety and I like that most of the shops are located near the exit. This way we can wait to the end to shop and not have to carry everything around with us.:mickey:

[Bethis26fan]

another vote for Epcot.

[dteed]

MK from these choices but DTD is the best.

[DakotaDisney]

How about a poll on the best shops, seperately instead of by park?

I would do it but I haven't done a poll before and more importantly I wouldn't be able to name all the main shops.

If I have time I will try to look them up on Intercot and in my books. If someone else knows them and can do it quicker, go right ahead.:mickey:

[scoot241]

A poll is limited to (about) 10 options. We'd either really have to pick and choose which 10 shops would go into the poll or run multiple polls. The shops on Main Street alone are nearly enough to fill one poll.

If a number of polls interests everyone, I could set that up, but I'd like to gauge the interest first.

[DakotaDisney]

I don't think that many polls would be necessary. That would be overkill.

I was just thinking of the main shops like Mouse Gears or DTD.

Maybe just one shop from each park and/or resort.

I guess with any poll you are going to leave out something. Perhaps its better just to stick with this thread.

Thanks though.

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

:secret: This would almost be a three way tie for me because Epcot has those wonderful world showcase shops....Magic Kingdom has the Christmas store and all the cool shops on Main St., but I voted for Hollywood Studios mostly because of that really neat Tinkerbell store where I bought a really cool oversized purse for myself last trip....I do most of my souvenier shopping for other people at DTD, however

[DNS]

I went with Epcot because I love shopping at World Showcase.

[LauraleeH]

My room is decorated to look like France, so of course I love shopping at Epcot to pick up another Eiffel Tower! And I love eating there and just being there. It smells so good!

[Bella x3]

Personally, I enjoy shopping in Epcot- the World Showcase. It has a lot of items to buy from different countries, and it's a good selection.

Other than Epcot, I like shopping in Downtown Disney. :D

[kbean]

The World Showcase does add to the shopping experience.

[Polynesian Dweller]

Got to be Epcot. We find Mousegear to be one of the easiest to find what you are looking for (much easier than the Emporium) and the shops in the various country just provide things you can't find elsewhere.

[DizneyFanz]

I was wondering which park do you think has the best shops? I personally think it is Hollywood Studios!:mickey:

Funny, I don't love DHS as a park (in fact, I'm not sure I even like it as a park anymore) but I do agree with you, it has the best shops!

[BritCody]

The Shops around the World Showcase give Epcot the edge

[yjgirl715]

I love all of the shops in all of the theme parks so I had to vote for DHS only because I was able to get my DH some Christmas gifts since he is a Star Wars fan. I was able to get him a couple of t-shirts and have them shipped so he had no clue. That was great!

[FlaTinkRAMESAM]

Epcot!

[crazygoalie39]

Epcot has the best shops throughout the world showcase.

[ASweetLov]

Epcot has the best shops in my opinion:mickey:

[Mickey91]

I like the MK shops. EPCOT has a lot of different shops and they are really nice but, for exclusively Disney stuff, MK is my fave.

[Jonas_Swe]

I was going to vote for Disney Studios... but...:blush:

I must say that Epcot really has the best shops! :mickey:

MouseGear is fantastic, and the collection of merchandise there is hard to beat. :number1:

But what makes the park a shopping paradise for me is all the fun giftshops around WS! :cloud9:

Not only do they have the coolest stuff from around the world, the different themes of the lands are carried out in a perfect way through out the shops too! :muscles:

[CaptainJessicaSparrow]

I didn't vote be cause I feel that with the exception of a relatively small amount of park specific merchandise, all of the shops have the same stuff.

Well, which is why Epcot would have been a good vote for you. Because of the World Showcase, it gives the most variety of merchandise. It's the only place on WDW you can by KH merchandise, kimonos, tea sets, German steins, Norse helms and jacket, teas, English Lavender soaps, Harry Potter Merch, etc.

That's why it got my vote. It offers the most to choose from and I can just walk through Epcot for the shops alone, especially Japan.

[Davyjones]

It's EPCOT for me! I love seeing all the stuff that's available in every shop in the park. I haven't been there since The Seas opened, so I'm hoping that there is some good Nemo stuff available. I love my Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage shirt from Disneyland, and can't wait to see what's available there when we go in May!
:dory: :nemo:

[poeticeclipse]

I voted for DHS. The main strip of stores is really fun.

BUT, then I realized after reading some posts that Epcot has much better stores. Duh! The World Showcase. :bang:

[DizNee143]

epcot..
definetly....i LOVE mouse gears..and then you have all the countries and there stores!!

[slpngbty56]

Had to vote for MK
