Oh no, there's a Disney outlet store near WDW!!!

Please please don't tell my DW!!

No DUDE!! You want to take her there!! We've bought stuff for dirt cheap there!! I mean, I've pick up "T" shirts for 99 cents that were sold in the parks for 18 bucks! We've gotten 80 dollar snowglobes for 15 dollars!! I'm talking major league savings!!

Well..... I guess if she's gonna buy the stuff anyway, it might as well be cheaper.

I'm just afraid that she'll buy all kinds of stuff at the outlet, and still buy more at the parks!

Sounds like a smart shopper to me!

No, telling her may save you money in the long run. Or, you could surprise her with a watch or piece of jewelry from there and look like a sport!!!

Alright, Amy and Mark, you're not helping!

(kidding)
I'm actually intrigued. Can't wait to check it out myself.

The Disney Outlet is a good place to go. I found it purely by accident one trip and the deals were FANTASTIC! On another note...if the gift is for a kid, one of the light up toys or wands that they sell once it gets dark is nice. Usually they have one or two that are $5 which is quite reasonable for a present....especially from Disney.

On a side note...I usually roll my eyes to the spinning light thingys, but we discovered one that is R2-D2 and he makes the sounds while the lighted things spin around. DH and I are stupidly enamored with it...but we have yet to buy one. I'm thinking maybe when we go in July...

About the outlet...it's fabulous! We found a bunch of stuff there while we were on our honeymoon!

Did someone say shopping?? I think Mousekedude is right. Going to an outlet would just leave me more room in the budget to buy even more stuff!

Seriously though, if there is an outlet nearby then that is a very good suggestion. We always bring extra stuff back. We are going to have to look into this for our next trip.

Thanks for the tip Jacca.

It was only a matter of time dude....

Better make sure the card is resuscitated by January...I think it will be overworked again

Does anyone know if there is a version of this store online?

Welcome!! It's one of Baloo's shopping secrets! I'll pass the thanks along to her! ;+>

I'll have her either PM you or send you an E-mail so she can give you the details!

The only thing I know of is the Disney Store on-line. They have sales from time to time and you can get some good deals. I got a set of Mickey luggage for $60. It held up farily well.

http://www.disneystore.com/

Another great place to pick-up something for the office if you forgot to get a gift for someone. They will never know.

I've always wanted to buy that Mickey luggage but I was so afraid I would check it once through the airline and it would come to be me in pieces. Good to know it held up, I just might have to buy it now!!!
