Shopping at MK

[disneymama]

I have waited too late to buy any shorts/T-shirts where I live, so I am going to have to purchase some, preferrably jeans shorts or Khakis, when I get to MK. Anybody know where I should start shopping?

Thanks!!

I'm sure some of our "locals" will post more exact info, but my best guess (and it's two years old, mind you) would be start at the Emporium, but don't forget the shops in Adventureland. They tend to have the shorts/khakis/safari-type items that may be just what you're looking for.

If you can wait until after the park, swing by Downtown Disney - you'll porbably have better luck and more options for clothing there in the Marketplace.

Have a great time!

You can actually start in the resort gift shops. I found that the selection in Animal Kingdom was most interesting... of course, things may have changed.

If you are adventurous, you can try the character warehouse at the factory outlets nearby. A lot of the surplus merchandise goes there, and is sold at pretty much half price. There are two of them in the Belz factory outlets.

Thanks to you both. I was hoping to grab some things the first day that we are there, when we will actually be at MK. Of course, if I am not successful, I will be exploring the other options recommended. Seems like I remember them having clothes at WL Mercantile also. We will be staying there, so maybe I will get lucky! I sure hope so.

Thanks again!

The clothes at WL mercantile are nice - they are "themed" more like what one would wear in a National Park. The clothes at AK and AKL tend to be more exotic, animal print, wrap-type outfits. Adventureland also has more 'safari' look clothes, Frontierland has more western wear... but for the life of me, I can't figure out why Haunted Mansion has a kitchen store!

There's also the Wal-mart Supercenter if you don;t mind going into the city(it's shares a parking lot with Medival Times)
