Magic Kingdom Shopping Priorities: What to Put at the Top of Your List

Shopping at Magic Kingdom can feel a little overwhelming. From collectible pins to giant plushes, specialty carts to flagship stores, there’s so much to explore. To make the most of our day, we made a simple priority list — high, medium, and low — to help guide where we want to stop, and which shops we can skip if time runs short.

Take a peek at how I plan everything with Notion!

⭐ High Priority: Must-Do Stores

• Disney Clothiers – Apparel and accessories

• Emporium – The flagship super storeThese are our non-negotiables. Whether it’s grabbing Disney-themed outfits, accessories, or classic park souvenirs, these stores have the breadth of items that really capture the Magic Kingdom experience. The Emporium, in particular, is huge — it’s basically the heart of Main Street shopping.

✨ Medium Priority: Fun Stops if Time Allows

• Hundred Acre Goods – Character-themed merchandise

• Island Supply – Sunglasses and summer essentials

• Main Street Confectionery – Candy, chocolate, and sweet treats

• Merchant of Venus – Specialty items

• Racing Specialties Cart – Quick kiosk finds

• The Chapeau – Hats and headwear

• Uptown Jewelers – Jewelry and designer pieces

These shops are fun to pop into and explore, but they’re not what we’d plan our day around. They’re more like delightful side stops when we happen to be nearby.

😊 Low Priority: If We Stumble Upon Them

• Big Top Souvenirs (Circus Emporium) – Circus-themed merchandise

• Crystal Arts – Art and collectibles

• Curtain Call Collectibles – Pins and other collectibles

• Fantasy Faire – Hat shop

• Main Street Cinema – Memorabilia

These are interesting, but not essential for our trip. If we find ourselves nearby and curious, great — otherwise, we’re happy skipping them to focus on higher-priority stops.

Why This List Works for Us

With toddlers in tow, it’s easy to get distracted or move slowly in stores. By prioritizing Disney Clothiers and the Emporium, we know we’ll hit the “must-have” spots first. Medium and low-priority stops are just for fun if we have extra time, so we don’t feel pressured to shop everywhere.

This system keeps the day flexible, stress-free, and still full of shopping magic.
