    Default Best shops

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

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    While EPCOT has the most diverse shops, I prefer shopping for Disney items at MK.
    It's not 'work' if your doing something you enjoy. Let's just say that I 'work' 5 days out of every 7.

    And why do I work? So that I can take my family to WDW, silly goose!

    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.
    Go Nashville Predators!

    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".

    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! ) 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!

    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.
