    Is In'nOut in the same shopping center as the Character Outlet? I prefer In'n Out to McDonald's anyday.

    Alexbook- you're right, I should do my Xmas shopping!

    Quincytoo-Wow! T-shirts for $8!
    Looks like it's magnets for everybody!
    Did you get your 10% coupon off of the AMS website or is there a deal i didn't know about?
    Was it easy to get a cab back to the DLR?
    How was that tequila??? :)

    Just ask the front desk to call you and cab and then get the driver to give you a card, we used a pay phone to call for one at the Food4less, I had huge bottle fo tequila and three bottles of wine to lug around. cab driver was there in 8 mins.

    Tequila is alright in margaritas....but after drinking that Cabo Wabo Jose gold is lacking...;)

    Just get to the east side of Harbor and take the OCTA bus going Northbound to Orangethorpe (about 3 miles, or 20 minutes later), you are dropped off on the North-east corner, in front of In-n-Out.

    To get back, just go to the west side of Harbor and take Route 43 southbound and get off near your hotel.

    Fare is $1.25 one way, or you can get an one-day pass for $3.

    Popular places.

    North-east corner of Harbor and Orangethorpe...

    In-n-Out
    Costco

    South-east Corner

    Disney's Character Warehouse
    Food4Less Grocery Store

    South-west Corner

It was great! I found "50th" items which was really a surprise as the store in Fullerton didn't have anything of the 50th. The Vegas store had a large assortment and in my opinion had more than the Fullerton store. I bought the Disneyland Castle normally 60.00 for 39.95 and it had the 50th on it. Plus there were some hats, t-shirts and other items. We plan on going again during labor day weekend on our way to Colorado. Yap...to visit our house as were moving there in April of next year. Gonna be a little further from Mickey's house in CA, but a little closer to his home in Florida. ºoº

    We used to have a disney store in Eugene at the Valley River Center. I could have cried when they closed that store down.

We bought a 50th bank of the castle for about $6, the old style frames from the sillouette gallery for $2 each. Bucket hats for $2. There seemed to be more items there than I remember at the Orangethorp store. We were suprised at the number of 50th items already at the store.

Thinking about the Fullerton store and scrapbooking items, I don't recall seeing anything. That could change anytime, but at least when we were there in June, I didn't see any. Sorry about that!! :) I am always on the hunt on postcards as I enter a lot of contests and Disney post cards catch the judges attention. Plus any collectibles. I always seem to find something, especially in the glass cabinets right when you walk in. Another tip for you all: when you walk in the stores and if you spot something you want in the "glass" ask about it right then and have them put it aside for you. If you don't, it could disappear. That happened to us once and we were so disappointed. The good news is we found it later, at another store and even cheaper price. ºoº
