Options for Shopping at and near Walt Disney World

Best Places – We have found that Animal Kingdom will generally have merchandise that is hard to find at other locations, due to lower attendance. Connections at Epcot is the biggest Disney shop inside of the parks. World of Disney at Disney Springs is a massive store that carries most items found in the parks. If you see an item you want somewhere buy it then, many items are hard to find. Resort Hopping/Shopping – If you are staying on-site you can feel free to resort hop to the other resorts to see what their gift shops have to offer. Depending on location you may need to take a bus to Disney Springs and then transfer to the other hotels. There is no direct transfer from resort to resort.
