This is the one I'd go to, because a Target trip is a necessity. Especially if she follows vloggers. And that's a great Target for cheaper Disney stuff.

Some Dollar Trees are now Dollar Plus stores so items up to $5
Remember to add the tax on
I use dollar tree for loads of things but if you see it buy it because it won’t be there when you go back if it’s seasonal items
Thank you. My daughter wants to visit one. No idea what for but I’m guessing to just say she’s been to one!

I will probably end up with loads of sweets and treats.

What % is the tax?

She also wants to visit a target! Lol she asked could we go to a dollar store, Walmart & target and I joked with her that you basically want to visit Florida then to shop in Asda & the pound shop

She does follow vloggers and she’s already saving her money so she has plenty to buy stuff with.

I think lots of candy, drinks & snacks will be bought. It will be our first time in America and she will be just as pleased eating dollar store snacks as she would ‘authentic Disney park snacks’.

I dread to think how much she will want to bring back!

5 Below is definitely worth a trip. Because it goes up to $5, alot of it is better quality than the Dollar Store.

Target is far better than Asda/Walmart for the kind of things teenage girls are interested in.

I have never yet been to a dollar store but I do like 5 and below. I actually got some headphones in there that looked really smart because they were spotty but they didn't last long and obviously weren't noise cancelling but better than the airline freebies.

Oh gosh! She’s going to love the shops! I’m so excited for you all experiencing America for the first time. My heart truly holds a special place for 🇺🇸 You will be hooked! The shopping is just as big a part of the holiday as the parks for me!

She’s so excited. We go next may, 22 nights as it was cheaper to come back after a extra day flights wise!

I got a feeling it won’t be the only time we go to America after but there are so many parts of the world we want to see as well!

The thing with America is that it's such a large country, so you get a completely different experience depending where you go. There's still SO many places on my list, feel like I've barely scratched the surface. But I can't go more than a few years without returning to Florida, it's my winter home.
