Save Money on Disneyland Souvenirs

A Disneyland vacation can be very expensive. The cost of tickets, accommodations, and food can be enough to stretch most Disneyland vacation budgets. Additionally, the cost of souvenirs at Disneyland can add up fast, too. However, there are several ways to save money on souvenirs at Disneyland.

In order to save the most money possible on Disneyland souvenirs, it's necessary to be flexible. There are some creative ways to save money on souvenirs at Disneyland, but none of them will work unless the buyer is willing to implement them. Here are three great suggestions to help you save money on souvenirs at Disneyland.

Buy some souvenirs outside the park - There are several places outside of Disneyland where souvenirs can be purchased. Just about every gas station mini mart and hotel in the immediate area has some sort of Disneyland souvenir gift shop. You will save money on Disneyland souvenirs if you purchase them off site. The closest Toys R Us is about 11 miles away from Disneyland Resort, but they have a Disney section and the prices will be a lot lower than in the park. There's also a Wal-Mart that has a Disney section as well, and you will save a lot of money purchasing souvenirs here.

Shop for souvenirs before your trip - Another option would be to visit the Disney Store in your area before your trip, as they often have really good sales and you may find that you can save money on souvenirs this way, especially when it comes to Disney plush items. Additionally, if you plan to allow your child to have one of the spinning light-up handheld toys that hundreds of kids are playing with every night at Disneyland, you may want to find something similar at a Discount store that isn't as expensive. These souvenirs at Disneyland cost right around $15 each. Your local Wal-Mart will have many items that can be purchased and then distributed to your children as souvenirs while you are at Disneyland. At Wal-Mart you can find Disney themed toy cell phones, pens, and other toys that would serve well as Disneyland souvenirs later during your trip, possibly even the spinning light-up toys mentioned earlier. Also, pick up some glow bracelets or necklaces, as these are really popular at night in Disneyland but they are not cheap in the park. You can usually find these in abundance at your local dollar store.

Choose less expensive Disneyland souvenirs - You can save a lot on Disneyland souvenirs if you are willing to enjoy some of their cheaply priced items. Pressed pennies, lollipops, and snacks that come in Disneyland packaging are good choices, especially if you are trying to find souvenirs to bring home to lots of people.
