February 2017 ~ The Momgician

Going to Disney can make any family go broke, especially when you are trying to purchase merchandise from the parks for your little ones, or even for yourself. If you don't know anything about me, I'm always trying to figure out ways to save a few dollars here and there when it comes to traveling.

Several years ago I discovered and fell in love with the Disney's Character Warehouse Store in Orlando. I've scored discounted Authentic Park magic bands charms, bathing suits, shirts and various souvenirs for family, friends and my colleagues. As a staple to my vacation, the Disney's Character Warehouse became my go to spot prior to me purchasing anything in the parks. Here, you can save up to 70% off prior season but authentic park merchandise.

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to travel to every Disney Park in the world (some multiple times). However, one thing I discovered occurs at these parks outside of the US, you don't have to look for a discount store/ outlet. That's because you will find sales/ discounted merchandise throughout the parks! This held true for me in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Paris and Tokyo Disneylands. However, here in the US, Disney does VERY well with selling their items at full price in the parks. Hey, prior to me going to the Disney's Character Warehouse, I was paying full price as well.

Over the past 4 years, I've traveled to Disneyland 3 times and each time I've learned how to save a little more on each visit (I'll post that on a separate enrty on ways to save at Disney). On this trip, I stumbled across the Disney Outlet at the Citadel Outlet in Los Angeles. They had some great past season merchandise, like this amazing Maleficent sweater which was 50% off the original price of $59.95. I purchased one for myself and one for my daughter. She LOVES IT!!! I like the sweater as well, but it has no pockets, UGH.....

They also had several Finding Dory outfits from the 2016 Tina Turk collection. I didn't jump on that opportunity because even with the discount, an item like the sun hat was still $59.95!!!

Not every visit to these discount outlets will end in you finding that perfect souvenir. However, if you don't mind past season items, then this is the perfect place for you!
