5. The chef/baker
The best thing about the Disney kitchen product line is that you can go as subtle or as dramatic as you like! Numerous styles of bakeware, cookware, accessories, and other pathways to yumminess are available, and product lines change from time to time. Some are more colorful and in-your-face with Disney stylings, but other lines are subdued and elegant.
There are many shopping locations that offer varying degrees of kitchen-based goodies - some with small displays, and some that have entire collections. The Marketplace Co-op at Downtown Disney is a fresh, new location for the best selection in kitchen-related items, but World of Disney nearby is another favorite. Smaller selections can be found in Epcot and Magic Kingdom as well.
6. The foodie or wine connoisseur
Chances are, you know someone who fancies themselves a foodie or a wine connoisseur - even if they aren’t very fond of spending much time in the kitchen. Walt Disney World boasts exceptional cuisine of every flavor, but did you know that there are plenty of food and wine choices that you can take with you?
Candy and bake shops are in no short supply throughout the entire resort. Mickey’s Ice Cream Bar may not be the way to go, but cookies, fudge, and other such items would hold up fine on most homeward journeys. During the holiday season, bake shops are set up alongside (or even in) gingerbread displays at Boardwalk Resort, Contemporary Resort, and the Grand Floridian. Add some holiday - or “Frozen” - flair to your take-home treat to be a true holiday hero!
Epcot is the place to find impressive wine and liquor selections - and, not just during the annual Food and Wine Festival. Throughout the World Showcase, you’ll find vast selections of spirits from the represented nations. By the way… there’s more food along this path as well. Pace yourself - you’re likely to want to eat as much as you buy!
7. The gardener
While we’re on the subject of Epcot’s festivals, another Epcot event has given rise to another wildly popular collection. The Flower and Garden Festival is the time to find the best in gardener’s tools, plants, and outdoor decor, but some products are available year-round. Seeds and small plants are carried in The Land Pavilion of Future World, and World Showcase’s Japan Pavilion has a gorgeous selection of plants, including Bonsai trees.
8. The tech geek
The tech junkie in your life will certainly appreciate the strides Disney is making in the area of technology accessories. Aside from bags sized for all styles of electronic devices, cases, storage devices, speakers, and more are springing up with Mickey ears, Princess sparkles, and pirate eye patches!
And while we’re talking about options in variety, the top tech shop is easily D-Tech on Demand at Downtown Disney’s Marketplace Co-Op, where rapid print technology is utilized to create personalized accessories.
