A trip to Disneyland just wouldn’t’ be complete with a pair of Mickey Mouse ears, right?  It would be unjustifiable…tyranny, almost!  Well, maybe not that severe, but you just have to get a pair to remind you of your wonderful vacation.  Disneyland has many hat shops located all throughout the park.  The most popular hat shop and notably named “The Mad Hatter” houses an enormous amount of hats.  Hatmosphere in Tomorrowland is another hat shop with a wide assortment of hats.  In these stores you will find Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse ears (that can be embroidered with your name, free of charge).  You will also find a huge abundance of princess crowns and hats adorning the face and moniker of your favorite princess.  Goofy and Donald Duck hats are a popular find as well as a large assortment of visors, sailor hats, beanies and jester hats all at the ready to be propped on your head.  If you do not wish to look like you could work inside the park with a character on top of your head, there are also more subdued styles of hats for those who have a more distinguished, less obnoxious taste.  Baseball caps and skull caps with small and subtle indicators that they are from Disneyland are also available in a number of muted colors…not a hint of pastel in sight!

A trip to the Happiest Place on Earth just would not, could not and should not be complete without a souvenir or two.  When you are traveling with young children, however, this can prove to be the end of your wallet!  It is no mystery that traveling to Disneyland is not cheap.  Shopping at Disneyland is no exception, however, there are many things that you can purchase that will remind you of your trip, keep your kids happy and not break the bank.  Every Disney themed store will have a wide range of prices to count on.  Steer your kids to the less expensive section which includes small stuffed animals, key chains, lollipops and pencils.  There are even less expensive tee-shirts available.  Give yourself an allotted amount to spend on souvenirs and don’t budge!  These stores have been known to draw in the biggest sucker of a parent who in turns buys every princess costume known to man.  You can also venture outside of the parks premise to pick up Disney themed items.  These will not carry the Disneyland logo, but the Mickey Mouse’s will look the same and you will have spent half the money.  Many vacation packages also offer special discounts at certain Disneyland stores which will help in your souvenir purchases.
