Downtown Disney Shopping Fun--

Quiksilver, Sephora, Fossil, Disney Vault and many more terrific stores await you!

While you WON'T be able to make a "complete" shopping trip for the family at Downtown Disney, this mall complex was never built to serve its customers' everyday needs. This is a resort shopping center aimed at "food, entertainment and fun!" And, if you consider that most vacationers have "the folks back home" waiting to receive souvenirs and presents from their traveling friends, then...yes...Downtown Disney Anaheim DOES meet this customer need---and very well.

You'll be able to buy a wide variety of gifts for your friends and relatives while shopping at the Downtown Disney District. You can buy them t-shirts, mugs, keychains, hats, and all the "traditional" souvenir items. Or, you can select them some cute collectibles from a selection of many designs and price ranges. Beyond that, you can pick them up some jewelry, housewares, or even a best-selling new book. Making a choice when buying gifts and souvenirs at Downtown Disney won't be easy!

For your own immediate family, you can pick up resort wear, bath and beauty products, or toys for the kids. But...instead of listing off still more items, I'll end this little introduction and get right into the "meat" of this page. Here, you'll learn the answer to your question, "What stores can I find at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California?"

Downtown Disney Shopping -- Men's Stores

In the photo on your left, you see resort-themed clothing for sale at "Island Charter," one of the Downtown Disney shopping ops for men. Along with casual and resort-wear, you'll find nautical collectibles and boat reproductions. Lots of browsing fun awaits you here!











QUIKSILVER---
Downtown Disney location phone number 714/778-4274

Men can also get involved in the Downtown Disney shopping experience at the hip QuikSilver store. QuikSilver is a great place for finding California-lifestyle clothing.

Do you like board shorts? Think QuikSilver. Like comfortable but with-it shirts, sweats, pants and shorts? Think QuikSilver. Need new accessories...maybe a cap or backpack? Again...think QuikSilver for the latest youth-oriented, California styles.

Downtown Disney Shopping -- Collectibles

Interested in Hollywood, "star"-themed collectibles and memorabilia? Well then "STARabilia" is the shop you CAN'T MISS! At Starabilia, you'll find both inexpensive knick-knacks AND some pricy "real" Hollywood keepsakes. (This includes signed pictures and original event posters.)

Most tourists to Downtown Disney don't fall into the "serious collectors" category. Instead, they come inside and enjoy an entertaining time while browsing through the cutesy products featuring characters from movies and TV shows from days gone by.

I'm willing to bet that you'll get a smile on your face as you reminisce here about your favorite TV and movie classics of yore. The merchandise at Starabilia is simply irresistible!

Downtown Disney Shopping -- Home Decor

Where do you turn to find a wide selection of home-decorating items for the current holiday...WHATEVER the current holiday might be? If you're at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California, the answer to your question is easy: head to Department 56!

At Department 56, holidays are a specialty. Usually, merchandise for several upcoming holidays can be found at once in the Department 56 store. (For example, in early March 2006, you could have found BOTH a nice selection of St. Patrick's Day decor items, plus Easter items, as well.)

In addition, you'll find home decor that fits general "seasonal" themes...plus NON-holiday home decorating items, as well. Many items sold at Downtown Disney's Department 56 shop are collector-quality.




When you're thinking "Christmas" (whether it's the middle of December---or during the month of July!), where do you head at Downtown Disney to deck your halls? To the "Department 56" store...which has Christmas trimmings for you home all year long. Starting in the fall of each year, the store kicks it up a notch, providing customers with a very large display of holiday items (in addition to their year-round Christmas merchandise.)

For some real holiday fun, try shopping at Department 56 in October...when Halloween, Thanksgiving AND Christmas holiday items are all offered for sale simultaneously. It's a holiday lover's heaven!

If you'd like more information about the Downtown Disney Department 56 store (and other Department 56 stores and on-line catalog merchandise), use the following link to visit the Department 56 official website.

COMPASS BOOK STORE---Phone number 714/502-9999

Compass Bookstore (which sits hidden behind the AMC Theaters, across from the ESPN Zone.) Compass is not a large book store (in comparison with the Barnes and Noble type caverns), but it isn't small, either. And, it DOES carry all the popular new titles of the day...just right for a "good read" at the poolside of your resort hotel! In addition, you'll find a good selection of children's books, travel guides, and general non-fiction books at Compass. A large selection of magazines and newspapers can be found at the large, outdoors Compass Books Kiosk...which is clearly visible as you enter Downtown Disney from the parking lot.

As mentioned in the "Downtown Disney Snack Shops" page of this website, there's a cafe at the Compass Book Store where you can buy a quick snack...OR a light sandwhich & salad lunch.
