Souvenir shopping for first-time WDW trip?

[kdl121]

Hi! I'm just wondering, what are the best souvenir shops (in your opinions) at each of the parks? I know, there's a lot! If that's too much, here's a different question: what is your favorite WDW souvenir? Or what type of souvenir do you continuously buy (t-shirts, hats, pins ...)? I've never been to WDW before, but I'm hoping to go in a couple years I have a list of my own of things I'd like to get, but I'm just really curious what others like!

World of Disney at Downtown Disney (my favorite)
Emporium at the Magic Kingdom
Mouse Gears at Epcot

My favorite thing as of now are those Disney Pillow Pets! I want to get one of those, probably a Stitch or Dumbo (undecided)
I also really like their phone case designs, towels and blankets

I'm into pens and postcards. I also get a few pins. These year I'd like to find as many attraction specific pens as possible, as well as postcards.

I'm also celebrating my CPA with artwork - if I find a good piece.

CPAs are not necessarily known for taste in art...I can say this a fellow CPA. I do have a couple of Disney-related pieces that I consider excellent art. My CPA wife does not necessarily agree. Good luck!
