I am staying in Orlando for business this week. My sister is begging me to go get her items from her favourite place, Epcot Mexico. But since I'm working during the day, I can't go there, and not really OK to pay a full price ticket to visit just for a couple hours at the end of the day.

So my question is, can we get the artifacts sold in Epcot Mexico outside of the park? Maybe in Disney Springs? If not, is there one of you guys that work in Epcot Mexico and could make me a huge favor? We could meet at the end of your shift and I'd repay you for items purchased in the park?

Please help me make my little sister happy :)

I can't seem to find it but there is (or was) a WDW phone number you could call and tell them what you wanted and a CM would get it for you and you could pick it up at the park entrance, or something a long those lines.

You can also download the 'Shop Disney Parks' app and see if the items are on there.

Or just try your luck and go to guest services and explain that you just need to buy a few items and they may or may not help you out. I'm sue it won't hurt just to ask.

If you're staying on Disney property for a convention or meeting group, they have discounted one day tickets for entrance into the park after 3 pm. Google it and the first link is Disney's official website with a number to call to buy!
You can buy the presents and get yourself a margarita!

Give WDW a call. I believe they have a "shoppers pass" which is a pass allowing you to go in the Park for an hour or two for this very purpose. I swear they had something like this many years ago.

There's also the parks' shopping app now so it might be worth it for her to use it to find exactly what she wanted and then you use the app to match the picture and place the order for pickup.

Drive to Coronado Springs Resort (near Epcot) and go to Panchitos (it's the gift shop for the resort). You'll be able to find something there.

The shopping pass doesn't exist anymore. They have the shop Disney parks app you can now use to purchase items in the park, or you can contact merchandise at Disney parks. Only other option is to pay for Epcot admission.

I'll third the Shop Disney Parks App. I saw something on the Disney Store website that was sold out. Went to the App and was able to order it right away.

Wait this was a real thing? How did they enforce it and what prevented someone from trying to stay in the park all day? I once saw a man berating a Guest Relations CM because all he wanted to do was go into Epcot and eat at a restaurant that his friend told him he had to try. The CM did an excellent job explaining that it wasn't possible without purchasing admission, but the man didn't seem to get the concept and he didn't give up easily.

A deposit equal to an admission ticket. If you did not return within the allotted time you were charged for a day's admission.

It was a real thing for a very short time. You basically paid for park admission if you returned within the one hour mark they gave you your money back.
