Disney Store Shopping Hacks

While Disney merchandise and gifts are definitely magic, shopping for them can often feel like a bankrupting activity. While some exclusive toys are expensive, don’t be in a rush to despair and take a look at some methods of savings we have for. It’s good to know that there are ways to get all the princesses and Mickey ears your little ones desire and still have money left:

• Shopdisney.com deals

If you have to have Disney stuff, but have no way to go the park or an official store, check out their website for thousands of items and great deals.

The Special Offers sections features BOGO 50% off t-shirts and $4 discount on plush toys when you buy more than two.

• Disney ears online

When you plan your vacation to Disney Park, think this through in advance and get Mickey Mouse ears from Target, Amazon, or JC Penney. You know you will want them, but now you also know that buying them elsewhere in advance will save you about $20 on each pair.

For example:

• Amazon has $6.19 Minnie Mouse Sparkle Ears
• Target offers $5.99 Disney Mickey Mouse Headband
• JC Penney sells $5 Disney Collection Minnie Mouse Ears

You can even get the rare Rose Gold Minnie Mouse lookalike ears on Etsy for just $25, when the real thing is over $125 on eBay.

• Disney clothes from Walmart

Any dress or other apparel for your prince and princess will cost about 75% less at Walmart than official Disney store. The items might be of less quality, but if you have savings on your mind, you will appreciate $3.50 Pirates of the Caribbean T-shirt or $10 Frozen dresses for all the little princesses in your life.

• Disney princess dolls from Amazon

There is no free shipping deal at Disney stores currently, so you will be charged at least $6 for shipping every time whether you buy one item or ten. Amazon has free 2-day shipping for members and has all the same toys and apparel, most of the time a bit cheaper than Shopdisney.com.

• JC Penney Disney toys

You can find many toys that are identical at Disney stores and at JC Penney because of ongoing partnerships with Disney. JC Penney might be cheaper and you can use your rewards to shop there for extra savings. This is a win-win situation for everybody in your family!

Disney Store Shopping Tips and Tricks

All kids love Disney movies and Shop Disney (formerly Disney Store) is a unique place where you can see your favorite Disney characters come to life. After Disneyland it is probably the second happiest place on earth because here you can see as many kids’ smiles as at the fabulous amusement park. From beautiful costumes and toys to Disney character themed products like backpacks, pillows and more, Shop Disney features everything your kid might only want. Luckily for the parents, there is also a bunch of cost saving opportunities that will help you get more and make your kid’s smile even bigger. So here are 5 ways to save at Shop Disney:

The best time to get their exclusive merchandise for less is May and December because it is the time when Shop Disney  runs their “Twice Upon A Year” storewide sale. Make sure you use this opportunity to purchase the birthday gifts and holiday presents for the kids on your list. Some of the products can be offered at 50% discount so make sure you act fast.

Among the products you can get at 50% off at Shop Disney are Disney Princess Costumes and Disney Bedding Sets. It should be noted that the amount of the discount mostly depends on how popular the particular character has been this year. If in 2016 everyone was dying to get Frozen items the discount on Frozen themed merchandise was only 24% Off. In 2018, the same Frozen themed items were offered for sale at half the original price. Also you can find good bargains on Disney plush toys, Disney action figures, as well as necklaces, tiaras and some other jewelry items.

2. Disney Back to School Sale

In addition to the Twice Upon a Year sale, Shop Disney also features “Disney Back To School Sale” each July. During the sale you can get as many as 40% off on many products. Among of the deals not to be missed are $2 tote with the purchase of a backpack, free shipping without minimum purchase and 40% Off on Backpacks.

For example, using a coupon you can save 40% on a personalizable Ariel Backpack. Use a coupon during the checkout to get it for only $14.97 and for just $2 you can add a matching tote. The backpack comes with two cute shell pockets that add some aquatic charm of the bag design.

Another great deal was on “Fancy Nancy Deluxe Leotard Dress for Girls. Customers could get 40% off this item with a coupon along with free shipping. The dress is really beautiful and elegant, with tulle ballet skirt, rhinestone and appliqué accents.
