Psst. Come close. We need to tell you a secret. Disney sells a ton of merchandise, but a lot of it does NOT belong in your shopping bag. Why? Well, for one reason or another, a lot of those souvenirs just aren’t worth the price!

Luckily, we’ve done the research, and we’ve spent HOURS going through Amazon to find the best alternatives. Here’s what to AVOID buying in a theme park (and what you should get on Amazon instead!).
Picture this. You walk into a Disneyland gift shop, and your little one makes a beeline for the pricey Disney princess dresses. Oh no. There goes your budget. Instead, buy those dresses ahead of time! We love this Cinderella Dress on Amazon — it’s both cute AND more affordable.

Amazon has all kinds of cute, affordable dresses that you can pack for your vacation and show off to your little one when you arrive! That way, you won’t have to spend extra money on a Disney theme park dress. Work smarter!
Speaking of overpriced theme park merchandise, you might want to buy a Mickey Mouse Bubble Wand on Amazon, too.

Disney theme park bubble wands are NOT cheap, and as long as it has Mickey and blows bubbles, who cares if it’s from Disneyland Park or Amazon, right?
Amazon has a TON of Disney Loungefly bags, and we personally think between the sales and selection, you’re better off shopping online. For example, how cute is this Loungefly Tinkerbell Sequin Bag?!

Don’t waste your time and money hunting down the perfect Loungefly bag in Disneyland — get one from Amazon instead!
OK, we’ll admit it. We’ve underestimated just how CHILLY it can get in the evening at Disneyland. Don’t make the same mistake (and find yourself being forced to buy an expensive theme park sweatshirt). Check out this Embroidered Disneyland Sweatshirt on Amazon!

First of all, this is CUTE. Second of all, it is MUCH cheaper than what you’ll find in Disneyland gift shops. That’s a win-win!
We’re gonna say it. Disneyland’s Star Wars merchandise is a little lame. You can find better designs on Amazon, like this Star Wars Embroidered Hat!

Trust us — it’s easier to shop on Amazon than a crowded Star Wars gift shop anyway.
In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney souvenirs, so stay tuned for more.
