Tip to Save on Merchandise During Your Trip to Walt Disney World

by Susan Gunelius on April 1st, 2007

I wrote a post called How to Save on Disney Merchandise several weeks ago that featured tips to learn about sales and discounts online at Disneyshopping.com and Disneyoutlet.com.  Today, I want to share a tip to save money on Disney merchandise during your trip to Walt Disney World.

Visit Downtown Disney during your trip and be sure to stop by Mickey’s Mart - “Everything Ten Dollars and Under” to stock up on gifts for family and friends as well as your children.  Mickey’s Mart is a fairly new store in Downtown Disney and it features a variety of unique, inexpensive merchandise.  Each week, a different item is highlighted as the item of the week.  You never know what products you’ll find at Mickey’s Mart.

Another exciting feature of Mickey’s Mart caters to elementary school-aged children.  Surprise Grab Bags are available for $10 and under.  A child who selects one of these bags for his or her purchase can enjoy the anticipation and excitement of opening a present.  I’ve witnessed my nephews select a $5 grab bag in other stores over a much more expensive toy, simply because of the allure of the surprise.  Not only will the child get a new toy or fun Disney item, but he or she will also get the enjoyment of unwrapping a present like it’s his or her birthday. 

Bottom-line, before your family makes their final merchandise choices during your trip to Walt Disney World, take a look at the items available at Mickey’s Mart in Downtown Disney.  You could save a lot of money.
