I've been cruising ebay trying to find some good deals on trading pins. I agree, disneyshopping.com doesn't have a great selection for little toys and cutesy stuff. Don't be too sad about not having a Disney Store, I have been visiting our local Disney store every few weeks and it has been very disappointing. I just get Disney Dollars for them when I go, but it's almost all clothing with a few toys and now costumes for Halloween. Good luck!

I ordered each of the kids a wallet from giftapolis and I got great character t-shirts from zazzle. All online shopping so far for me, with the exception of last night I picked up a couple packs of glow bracelets and necklaces at Safeway.
