Also the Disney Warehouse has some very good deals (the last time we were there my son got a Peter Pan trading pin for $3.60 w/coupon), but they are very limited in what they have. For me I enjoy shopping online before I go to the parks for treats for the kids. I ordered some personalized t-shirts ($6.39 after discount), and some little bean bag balls with the Disney characters ($2.39 for a set of two after discount). For me, however, this does not replace shopping at the park. I've been pleasantly surprised at the variety of things that Disney has for not very outrageous prices (some of course is very expensive). What some people do is buy a few things online before their trip, and still give themselves and their children a small allowance for gifts at the park. You end up spending less, getting more, but still get to enjoy finding new treasures at the park. Plus, you still get to have something fun to do while planning your trip.
