Keepsakes to Remember
If all of the many theme parks and attractions make Central Florida a thrill-seeker’s paradise, then the retail experiences and outlets make it a paradise for shoppers, too. From exclusive souvenirs you can only find here to discounted designer duds at world-famous outlets. You might need to pack an extra bag or two for your trip home! It will certainly be easy enough to find a new duffel, suitcase, or backpack for the job if you need one.
Exchange
Located near the Shades of Green Attraction Ticket Sales Office, the AAFES Exchange is a one-stop-shop for all kinds of things. From tax-free souvenirs, sundries, snacks, toothpaste, or extra diapers, it has anything a vacationer might need. Also, you can stock up on themed merchandise at a fraction of what you’ll find somewhere else. Princess dresses, hats, shirts, magnets, autograph books, and even Sharpie markers are all in-store. It’s likely to rain at some point, and you can get ponchos for the whole family to stay dry while you enjoy the parks. They’ve thought of everything.
