In Character

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Children love this open-air shop for the dolls, plush princess toys, and dress-up costumes. You can drop a small fortune on glass (plastic) slippers and a magical light-up wand—or splash out fully with the coveted Ariel mermaid costume gown. If this location is closed, as it often is during the off-season, head to Mickey's of Hollywood.
