You love Disney souvenirs, but aren’t a fan of Disney prices. This info is for YOU!

So, what is Disney Character Warehouse?
Disney Character Warehouse is a Disney retail chain featuring official character toys, clothes, collectibles, and more at outlet prices.
In fact, Disney Parks (not Disney Store/shopDisney) operates these locations as liquidation stores for Disney Parks & Resorts merchandise – from Aulani to Walt Disney World to Disney Cruise Line to Disneyland – it’s all shipped to Florida, where you can find a vast array of Disney Parks items at the Character Warehouse locations.
The items for sale include overstock and past-season merchandise from Walt Disney World. For instance, you’ll find past EPCOT Festival items and past holiday goods as well. Even when a Disney item seems to have gone away, you might see it pop up at an outlet, so always keep those eyes open!
Sneaky Ways You Can Save Money in Disney World
What kind of merchandise is sold?
You’ll find official Disney merchandise, including Disney Dooney & Bourke purses, Loungefly Backpacks, Mouse Ears, apparel, pins, mugs, phone cases, kitchen accessories, toys, Disney plush, key chains, jewelry, and more.
Typically, we’ve seen merchandise at 50-80% off!
Most importantly, if you are local, you’ll want to stop back now and then as the stock changes often.

Also find deals on the west coast with a much smaller store at Citadel Mall about 20 miles north of Disneyland at Disney Outlet.

Hi Jeff! The Orlando Premium Outlet Mall is about a 10 minute drive from Walt Disney World. That’s the closest one.
