Hollywood Studios Shopping: Click, Scroll, Shop (and Maybe Regret Nothing)

Hollywood Studios might be known for thrill rides and movie magic, but let’s be honest—I’m also here to shop. Whether it’s grabbing that perfect mug I absolutely don’t need or scoping out a new pair of ears, I’m mentally clicking through my must-browse spots before we even hit the park gates.

Shopping Priorities (Clicking Through My Faves)

These are the spots at the top of my list—aka, where I’ll be making a beeline if the toddler is in a stroller and snacks are in his hands.

• Mickey’s of Hollywood – It’s big, it’s classic, and it has everything from apparel to plush. I’ll probably lose 15 minutes here minimum.

• Tatooine Traders – Right near Star Tours, so it’s perfect for some Star Wars browsing. Might not buy, but I will look. (Okay, maybe buy.)

• Pluto’s Toy Palace – A must for my toddler. Bright, colorful, and filled with character toys and fun finds. I already know we’ll spend a good chunk of time here debating between Mickey, Buzz, or yet another bubble wand.

Toddler-Friendly Finds

He may not care about ears or Loungefly bags, but there are a few fun spots for little ones:

• Toy Story Land Carts – I’m expecting a lot of “Can I have this?” moments here.

• Character-centric shops – Anything with plushes, bubble wands, or Mickey hands will 100% catch his eye.

Souvenir Strategy

I’m trying to go in with a “one special thing” mindset—something for the kid, something little for me, and maybe a few gifts for family if I’m feeling generous (read: if I didn’t blow the whole budget on snacks).
