MK has one inside Disney University. There is one at Team Disney too. Animal Kingdom? I'm guessing it might be at the Costuming building on Sherberth Road to the south of Osceola. Disney University behind MK is the most accessible to most folks. CM's can even legally take family members and friends there. But it's only open Mon--Fri 8 to 5. The rest of the Company D's have varied hours, and are not open all days of the week.

Originally Posted By marypoppins3 Thanks everyone. I walked over to the team building on Sat only to find they were not open on weekends. I don't have transportation.

The ones I asked here at my hotel didn't seem to really know. I'm hoping to find some discount t'shirts like we have at company d in d'land. The company D in Anaheim that has merchandise is located off property on Cerritos and requires transportation. My family and I are having a wonderful time and here for the pirate event.
Originally Posted By -em Our Company Ds generally do not have discounted merchandise (99% of the store is actually non disney stuff) The place for discounted stuff is back behind the MK at a place called Property Control but it would be impossible to get there without a car (its roughly a mile behind the kingdom) -em

Originally Posted By marypoppins3 Oh too bad.. our company D is great! Not only do they have surplus merchandise.. they have shirts and sweatshirts that are currently being sold inside the park at the time.. not damaged merchandise either. thankyou for the info.. i won't be dissapointed now.
Originally Posted By ssWEDguy >> Hope the cast store is open on Mondays? The ones I asked here at my hotel didn't seem to really know. << I think the Company D's used to be open more often. They've gone through cutbacks and now each one is open only certain days and times each week. It's hard to track the times and days because they change. Mostly you go there and if they're open, they're open. If they're not the sign tells you when they are. Property Control behind the MK is where you want to go. Not Company D but lots and lots of stuff. There is another Company D in the MainGate buildings off Sherberth Road, south of DAK. Almost all the way to 192. M-F 8-5.
Originally Posted By Disneybrad Most of the Company D's are open 5 days a week. I know Epcots in closed sundays and mondays. I thinknk the closed days roate aroudn the differnt locations. So pretty much on any given day you would be able to find a location which is open.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<The place for discounted stuff is back behind the MK at a place called Property Control but it would be impossible to get there without a car (its roughly a mile behind the kingdom)>> How have the prices/merchandise been running there of late? I'm thinking of having a friend take me this summer, but my last visit had absolutely nothing and the prices were very close to what you get at the outlets. Not at all like in the early 00's when I'd go and they'd be having a tent sale and I'd buy like $1,700 worth of merchandise for like $175. In other words, are there values to be had? Thanks.

They've started to have much more clothing than in the past (Id say its roughly 1/4th the store) a lot more just excess dumping than damage dumping. But they've had good sales on clothing in the past few weeks (They had all shirts under 30 bucks for 3 bucks recently) Rest of the stuff is pretty hit or miss but they've had good sales- The DAK animal stuff was 90% off awhile ago as were Pal Mickeys for 5 bucks etc. I tend to hit PC roughly once a week and it seems to be every other week I get something decent (Fav find recently was the 3 new posters, Vision, Spirit and Heritage with broken shrinkwap but no damage to the prints at all- total cost 11.25) -em
