15 Best Shopping in Walt Disney World Orlando, Florida

World of Disney

Disney Springs Fodor's choice

Beware of sensory overload at the world's largest Disney superstore—where approximately half a million items are featured in a dozen rooms that fill 50,000 square feet. Theme shopping areas like the princess room (hello, Cinderella dress or Ariel costume) help steer you to just the right toys, clothing, collectibles, candy, housewares, photo frames, books, dresses, cookware, and collectible Disney pins. The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, similar to the one at the Magic Kingdom, finds skilled stylists applying make-up, costumes, glitter, and magic (it's best to reserve an appointment).

Black Spire Outfitters

Disney's Hollywood Studios

If you're visiting Galaxy's Edge to get in character, stop by Black Spire Outfitters for the perfect costume. It has everything from blaster belts to full Jedi robes. How "in character" you go is up to you. Many of the shirts are stylish on their own, and who doesn't need a good cloak when visiting the cliffs of Ahch-To?

Chapel Hats

Disney Springs

Bride-and-groom ears are among the most recognizable fashion statements you'll see here, but they represent just a fraction of the inventory. Shelves are stacked with every shape and style: broad-brimmed sun hats, jaunty Panama hats, 1960s-style porkpie hats, brightly colored fascinators, Indiana Jones–inspired fedoras, and a few dozen others to top off your trip.

Disney's Pin Traders

Disney Springs

Many cast members and guests share (and wear) a common interest: pins that reflect favorite characters, special events, and all things Disney. Often affixed to lanyards, these pins are a curiously treasured part of Disney's subculture, with owners buying and swapping pins the way kids used to trade baseball cards. This Marketplace shop is one of the premier pin-trading destinations—and where you can also buy Mickey ears and MagicBands.

Droid Depot

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Here you can build your very own droid, on a miniature scale at least. Upon arriving, choose between a BB-series (like BB-8) or R-series (like R2-D2), then select your own color scheme and accessories. Once built, droids can communicate with one another using Bluetooth technology or be driven by their owners with a remote control. Note that droids aren't cheap (prices start at $99.99), and, without a reservation made on the My Disney Experience app, expect a wait just to enter the store.

Hoypoloi

Disney Springs

It's easy to lose track of time in this little oasis of fine art, handcrafted jewelry, and Zen paraphernalia. Big sellers include solid bronze frogs by Frogman; signed, digitized paintings by Alan Foxx; Josh Simpson glass-planet art pieces; and handsome menorahs and mezuzahs.

L'Occitane en Provence

Disney Springs

This fragrant, French-inspired apothecary has everything you need to pamper yourself, from all-natural lotions, gels, creams, and oils to toners and serums to cleansers, moisturizers, and exfoliating scrubs. Shaving and grooming items for men are also well represented. Stop by to sample products, mix your own essential oils, and even get a complimentary minifacial or hand massage.

Once Upon A Toy

Disney Springs

Classic board games and activity stations will keep you entertained in this well-stocked store. Theme toy rooms feature princess and fairy items or Star Wars stations, where you can create your own light saber. There are lots of games redesigned with Disney themes, like a Haunted Mansion version of the Game of Life. You can test-drive many of the toys, and at the Mr. Potato Head Creation Station, you can fill a box with assorted eyes, lips, noses---even Mickey ears---and make your own potato sculpture.

Orlando Harley-Davidson

Disney Springs

America's largest motorcycle manufacturer has been going strong since 1903, and its apparel has been popular for nearly as long. Harley enthusiasts of all ages can buy biker jackets, vests, T-shirts, patches, and other gear. Climb aboard an iconic hog for a photo op.

Pelé Soccer

Disney Springs

Soccer (or football, as the rest of the world knows it) has certainly become more popular in the United States, especially during both the Men's and the Women's World Cups. Here, teams from around the world are represented in a colorful array of club jerseys, including those of superstar Pelé, from both his time in Brazil and his time with the New York Cosmos. If you don't find a jersey you like, create your own by choosing a design and adding your favorite player’s name and number. Also featured are soccer gear and apparel for all ages and Pelé's own World Cup trophy (which makes for a wonderful photo op).

Savi's Workshop–Handbuilt Lightsabers

Disney's Hollywood Studios

If you're an aspiring Jedi, plan a trip to Savi's Workshop to build a lightsaber. More intense than just a toy from the store, this lightsaber allows its wielder to choose different themes and kyber crystals, creating a truly unique design. Reservations are highly recommended, and be prepared for sticker shock: prices start at $219.99.

The Art of Disney

Disney Springs

For nearly a century, Disney has created distinct and iconic characters, theme parks, and films that have become fan favorites as well as the subjects of collectible works of art. In this intriguing gallery, a dazzling array of Disney images are captured in a variety of media, including sculptures, limited-edition Sericels, lithographs, framed prints, original paintings, and figurines. What's more, it doesn't necessarily cost a fortune to become a collector of Disneyana—just start with a collectible postcard.

The Art of Shaving

Disney Springs

Sure, shaving is a daily task for many men, but there's something wonderfully indulgent about really doing it right. For that, the staff at this intriguing shop will help you select high-end shaving creams, brushes, gels, after-shaves, moisturizers, and razors. For added indulgence, drop by the Barber Spa for a hot towel shave, haircut, facial, scalp therapy, or any assortment of special treatments that "make handsome happen."

The LEGO Store

Disney Springs

When you spy a LEGO sea serpent in the lagoon, you know you're in the right place for a LEGO shopping spree. Large, elaborate sculptures and piles of colorful bricks welcome children, who generally head straight to hands-on play tables and begin work on toy castles, cars, and pirate ships. At the Pick-A-Brick Wall, kids can create anything from a Star Wars spaceship to a miniature Sydney Opera House. Be sure to snap a photo with oversize character models like Woody and Buzz Lightyear. The discounted merchandise section is also worth a look.

Tren-D

Disney Springs

This Marketplace boutique has "hip" and "eclectic" written all over it (hence the name), with ever-changing merchandise that gives (primarily teenage) shoppers a chance to wear clothing imprinted with 1980s and ’90s cartoon characters, fashions from the Disney Parks Forever Collection, and chic sundresses with subtle Mickey-ear designs that are perfect for an evening at the shops and clubs of Disney Springs.
