I'm not headed to any Disney Park soon, but you might be able to find what you're looking for and order it online at the Laughing Place store. Here's the link.

Have no fear you can always order WDW merchandise from home!!
This will save you the mark-up that laughingplace.com will charge.
Alot of people don't know that Disney has a mail order option. Here is the info:
Telephone: 407-363-6200
Fax: 407-352-6369
Email:
wdw.mail.order@disneyworld.com
I would call the number. I have used them in the past and they provide excellent service. You just need to provide them with a description of the merchandise and they can look it up. Of course the more details you provide the better chance they have in finding it. I have gotten park exclusive merchandise this way. It also great for getting that gift you are kicking yourself that you didn't get.

We have also used this service and it has always worked well for us. The Disney staff are very helpful.

Yep I was going to say something about the park mail order. My wife and I go down 3-4 times a year, and we STILL use it. A lot of times there is a bulky item (yes you can ship from the park), or one we aren't sure we want and we get the SKU and order it later.
Like rdeacon said, the more information you have the better they can figure out what you are looking for. So if you remember the park/shop that SEEMS to be the biggest help to them (if you don't have the SKU.)

I used it recently to order an Expedition Everest T-shirt (which I wear way too often).
It was a very nice service. The delivery charge was a bit high. But you don't have to deal with the mark-up of Laughing Place.
I would definitely recommend it. I just wish there was somewhere I could go to browse for product online! (although Laughing Place helps with that)

i have sent an e-mail to wdw mail order
they answered quickly
the thing is, if i order a $125 watch, i must add a $100 shipping fee which is.....crazy ( as regular shipping would be around $10 and safe shipping around $20..) so i'm gonna try to find another solution....

100 for shipping? did they say why it was so much?

Yea I've never understood the shipping charges algorithmic WDW mail order uses. We wanted a Cindy tree topper, the one we bought at the parks got broken between the store and our resort (using package delivery service) we didn't have time to go back into the park to get another one, so we just wrote down the SKU number and went home. A week or so later my wife called WDW MO and it's like a $25 tree topper, they wanted ~$40 shipping.
Another time we ordered some Mickey Icon Lawn stakes. ~$40, and shipping was like $10.
So it seems like it's some function of the price of the item/s and the breakability of it.
