Disney has so many unique and fun souvenirs. Almost every time you exit a ride, you have to walk through yet another gift shop. We always like to get a something to remember our trip but we don’t want to break the bank either. You can easily overspend on your souvenir budget with the plentiful shopping at the Disney World Parks.
When we visited Disney back in 2010 for the first time, we knew several months in advance that we were going. At Christmas time, when grandma asked what the kids wanted, I told her that Disney gift cards would be great. This is a great way to budget for each child so it’s “fair” during the trip. Each child had $25 on their gift card and knew this was the amount they had to spend at the parks on souvenir items.
If you want to really save, you can head to one of the Disney Character Outlets to save a significant amount of money on your souvenirs and gifts. One spring break we visited Orlando but didn’t visit Disney World. {Oh the blasphemy!} We made a stop at the Disney Character Outlets and found some great deals. One of the best steals I found was a leather Cinderella bag which was 80% off the retail price. The little ones also didn’t mind some items that had the previous year on them that were deeply discounted!
Before you leave you can also make your own t-shirts. My cousin created this post on How to Make Your Own DIY Iron-on T-Shirts for your Disney trip.
How do you plan and save for Disney Souvenirs?
Disclosure: I paid to attend the Disney Social Media Conference. In return, I received highly discounted park tickets, hotel, and a gift bag. There was no monetary compensation or posts required in exchange for this package.
