Is where Tomorrowland visitors find Disney character and theme souvenirs and gifts of all descriptions. The Character Shop is a deftly styled, 3,500-square-foot merchandise center in the all-new area. Wearing apparel, toys, jewelry, games, books and other Disney theme items created especially for the "Magic Kingdom" are available. There are also photographic supplies in a special area of the shop. A huge portrait of Mickey Mouse, as seen in Steamboat Willie, his first "talking" animated film, and other Disney characters are on display here.
From Steve Birnbaum brings you the best of Disneyland 1982:
One of the best places in the park for Disney-themed items, it offers T-shirts galore, pens and rulers, tennis balls and shoehorns, back scratchers, books, magazines, soaps, lollipops, key chains, jogging jackets, pewter charms, and more-all emblazoned with the names and likenesses of one or more of the Disney charac-. ters. Stuffed animals are here by the hundreds, including oversize Balous, Plutos, and Dumbos for $250 to $350 each, which can be ordered when not in stock, and can usually be delivered within the day. In addition, because this is Tomorrowland, there's naturally a good selection of space-age items-solar-powered windmills, a talking clock, state-of-the-art wristwatches, electronic chess sets, and computer games. The T-shirt counter is particularly busy early in the day in August. The rest of the year, the store's big rush usually comes after 2 P.M. Film is also available here.
