All Theme Parks have a lot of stores to go through and pick up souvenirs, but if you are staying for a while take a trip downtown at night time and you can do all your shopping there with out having to do it at the theme parks and taking up your time to do the rides and character meets. There are also other things to do at the parks, so make sure you pick up a time schedule and a map at the front gates, the rides I have listed for all the parks are the ones you don't want to miss out on. Have a magical experience at Walt Disney World.
