So Disney donates to several local only thrift stores that give back to the community. This one is the Christian Sharing center in Longwood on 17/92. The Boys and Girls Club is in Cassleberry/ Winter Park. They also donate to the Hope Chest in Oviedo; they have a Disney Shop in their thrift store. Last is the Harvest International, Thrift on 46, located on 46A in Sanford. That one has 2 stores in the same parking lot. One is a regualr thrift store with tons of Disney park merch and other thrift items; GREAT prices. Then in the same parking lot is their boutique with all new merch from many stores they buy truck loads from and sell at 1/2 marked price of the retail value. IE: Amazon, Target, Dillards and New Disney merch. Then each week they mark those items down more. They get trucks in often. What does not sell in the boutique gets moved to the thrift store at an even more discounted price. If you are in the Sanford area you and love thifting you can also go down the road on 46A to where the Chick-Fila shopping center is and there are 2 more thrift stores. So you can grab lunch and make a day of it. The Goodwill and Teen Challenge Thrift! Also don't forget Forever Vintage and Surplus off Dundee Raod in Winter Haven for more Disney Thrifted Merch and Park Resort props.

Loved this! Thank you for sharing! Any recommendations for a first time character dining for a shy kiddo? My almost 4 yr old loves the parks but freezes when meeting characters. She will tell you all day long she wants to meet her friends, but when the time comes, she hides behind momma.

I’ve never done the pin trading; how does it work necessarily? If you have a Disney pin of any kind can you trade it for one on their pin boards? Does it have to be a Disney official pin?
@melodydazzo4 ай бұрын
They do need to be Disney pins but there are counterfeit pins out there so they try to weed through those so that all the pins on their board are official Disney pins. You can buy Disney pin starter kits at the gift shops!
