It will vary every day - sometimes several times a day but its all end of line Disney Parks and Disney Cruiseline merch. Sometimes you can get stuff in there thats still on sale at full price in the parks.
Lots of clothing, some toys, ornaments, bags etc - you never know what you'll find. This time I bought 2 Cinderella Bubble wands for $3.99 each ($25 in park), T-shirts $7.99 ($24.99), Xmas ornaments $4.99 each ($24.99), a gorgeous Minnie hooded fleece coat for my niece $14.99 ($49.99), a light up necklace $2.99 ($14.99) and 3 different sets of sequinned Ears for $0.99 - $3.99 (now Ears are $25 -29.99).

Went to the Vineland one today (or rather yesterday - Monday) morning around 11am. Queue stretching out the door with a CM at the end of the queue. Wait to get into the store was probably around 30 minutes (I'm estimating). Once inside it was crowded, and there was another insane queue to pay that was stretching all the way to the back of the store.
In terms of merchandise today - there wasn't really much that really caught my eye at all. There were a couple of small items I was considering, but then decided they weren't worth waiting in the long line to pay. So left without buying anything. Completely different experience to the last time I went which was probably around 2 years ago, where you could just wander in and out of the store, which wasn't too crowed, and there was never a long queue to pay. The rest of the stores in the outlets didn't feel busy at all, and the carpark wasn't even full! It's only the character warehouse that has gone from being a nice shopping experience to a crazy one. I have no idea why though since personal shoppers have always existed - so what made it so crazy now? I don't think I'll be back unless the situation improves...

I feel really sad about how much the shopping experience has changed recently. I really hope this ‘fad’ dies out and it all goes back to normal. I appreciate that the personal shoppers have a right to buy to resell, but it really does spoil it for the rest of us.
I wonder how much cheaper the customers even get the items for anyway... the shoppers have to make a profit, surely?!

We went to both Vineland and International drive character warehouse outlets last week. We went to the International drive one on a Wednesday. No queue at all and very quiet. No queue to pay and picked up some nice stuff, T-shirt’s, vhs case style purses. They had the pink loungefly backpacks behind the tills. Went to the Vineland outlet on a Friday morning and completely different experience. There was a queue to join the queue! We joined the queue but after about half an hour of waiting decided that really it was not worth our time queueing and left. Such a shame as used to be a good part of our holiday looking for the bargains. Would definitely try the international drive outlet.

I was at Vineland today. At about 2pm there was a queue of about 20 people. Went by again around 3.30 and walked straight in.

I’ve been in both over the last few days during the day and there’s been no queue.
There’s a few $7.99 ears in the Idrive one at the moment including the Coco one that’s still at Disney Springs. |
