The Disney World Souvenir Hack for the First Day of Your Trip


Recommended Posts

There are so many cute souvenirs at Disney World that it can be hard to narrow down which ones you really need.

Emporium in the Magic Kingdom has TONS of souvenirs!

Even if you have been to Disney World 100 times, there is a good chance (if you’re like us) that you will come home from your trip with a new pair of Minnie ears, a Spirit Jersey, or maybe some new pins. Regardless of what you choose to purchase to add to your collection or to remember your trip by, you will want to remember this souvenir rule on the first day of your trip

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

From time to time, Disney World releases special merchandise to commemorate an anniversary, a character, a holiday, or even a festival. Currently, the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is running from now until June 2nd, and the merchandise collection for this festival is ADORABLE!

Flower and Garden Merch 2025

When the festival started on March 5th, people flocked to the Creations Shop to purchase the exclusive merchandise that included a Spirit Jersey, a Spike the Bee Lug Bag, Orange Bird ears, mystery pin boxes, and the coveted Alice in Wonderland Flower and Garden ears.

It was crazy on the first day!

Disney teased the merchandise before the festival, and we knew the Alice in Wonderland ears would be popular, and we were right! The ears, along with other pieces of exclusive merchandise like the mystery pin box set flew off the shelves. We visited Creations Shop on day three of the festival, and the Alice in Wonderland ears were sold out! The good news is that the mystery pin box sets were back in stock at the time and continue to be super popular. 

There’s a SECRET Place To Send Your Souvenirs in Disney World!

Alice in Wonderland Ears

If Creations Shop does not have the festival merchandise you are looking for, we recommend heading into the World Showcase, as there are a few booths that sell the festival’s exclusive merchandise. We were able to find the Alice in Wonderland ears at a booth after being told they were sold out park-wide. It pays to double-check and get your steps in! You can also check online! They are available there as well.

So what is the moral of the story/hack? We can’t believe we are saying this, but don’t be patient and wait until the end of the trip to purchase new and exclusive merchandise. Just get it out of the way on the first day of your trip or as soon as you see it, as there is a good chance it could be sold out by the time you decide that you want it. Plus, it can help ease the stress and worry about having to hunt and search for the item if you just decide to buy it right then and there.

Don’t wait and get the merch you want when you see it!

If you change your mind about an item, as long as it has the tags and receipt, you should be able to return it within the return period window. Sometimes, merchandise gets restocked, but since festivals and other celebrations are only around for a limited time, a restock is not always guaranteed.

So remember, if you see a popular piece of merchandise that you want, treat yourself and grab it right away because it could be the last time you see it during your trip!
