If you are taking your own costumes or don't want to pay extortionate gift shop prices, then Disney’s Character Warehouses are great places. There are three located in Orlando – one in the Orlando Outlet Marketplace, one in the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets, and one in Sawgrass Mills Mall. The stores are officially owned by Disney but are usually clearing surplus stock or out-of-season items. Pick up costumes, mugs and toys for at least 50% off in-park prices.
