Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe

Adorable little shop! My fiancé and I love Christmas, even at the beginning of September: P We visited several times during our visit to Magic Kingdom in Disney World. We got several different ornaments (Princess Jasmine ornament, Mickey and Pluto ornament, and a Monsters Inc ornament), since we’re planning to decorate our very first Christmas tree in our apartment this upcoming holiday season :)
We also got those cute little «I’m Celebrating» and «Happily Ever After» badges from this shop too (though you can find them in other shops too).

Adorable shop. Tons of Disney ornaments you’re not likely to find online or at your local Disney store. But not for the faint of heart. The ornaments are pricey. A Mickey hat shaped ornament is about $ 18-​$ 19 and that is if you buy the bundle of 3. Otherwise, it is $ 24 each.
You can easily spend an hour or longer inside this store just looking at all the items they carry. There are some ornaments they can personalize for you. The lady sits there and writes onto the ornament what you want written.
A nice benefit of the Disney stores is that if you’re staying at one of the Disney resort hotels, you can have your packaged delivered to your hotel. Our ornaments were delivered the same day as we received a message on our room phone and we went down to the hotel gift shop to pick it up. Sweet.

We were just in the Magic Kingdom for MVMCP. Granted I had just driven 8 hours and the Park was packed. There was a cart with loads of beautiful ornaments and the very nice cast member explained I could have an ornament personalized for a small fee and directed me to walk past the two ladies busily painting away on ornaments and go in the store to order. The very NOT nice cast member at the counter said it could not be done, he showed me two lists with orders on them, and kept emphasizing these people had already ordered and there was no way they could do any more. When I explained we were there for a week and later in the week would be fine, he again said NO, I asked to speak to a manager. He went outside and spoke to one of the ladies decorating. He said as a very special favor they would squeeze my order in. I did not get a good feeling about this at all. Again I tried to explain I wasn’t asking for immediate service, a couple of days in the future would be more than fine. Matthew stuck to his guns on how they would somehow manage to squeeze me in. The unspoken, but plainly received message was my business was not needed and definitely not wanted. I quietly put the ornament on the counter and thanked Mathew anyway and said I would find the ornament at another store. I went outside with tears in my eyes and told the nice girl at the cart that if I were her I wouldn’t recommend sending anyone else in to that store. A couple of days later I got the same ornament in the Downtown Disney shop from a VERY pleasant cast member, who was also obviously very busy, but treated me very courteously. I received the beautiful ornament delivered to my hotel, No drama, no problems. No more shopping at Ye Olde Christmas Shop for me!

The opportunity to buy Disney Christmas items 365 days a year? Yes, please! I keep saying I’m going to start putting up 2 Christmas trees every year: one for my regular ornaments and a second for all my Disney ornaments.
Ornaments, stockings, wreaths, etc., etc. If you’re looking for Christmas items featuring all things Disney, this is the store for you.
If you’re visiting during the Holiday Season, you’ll find Christmas items in pretty much all Disney shops; but, if it’s any other time of the year, make sure to make a stop here while you’re in The Magic Kingdom. Shopping for Christmas in the summer… Cooooool!
