Greetings from California

A little smaller, and in three compartments, plus it felt even narrower with all the people and strollers (yeah, we are in that demographic now, too, haha).
Seemed to have a nice representation of souvenirs– toys, keychains, hats, pens, etc. for us Disney enthusiasts. (World of Disney is the largest gift shop in the Disneyland/​Disney Walk area.) We headed here because I almost forgot to buy something. This is the last gift shop you see heading out of Disney’s California Adventure, so it was packed with customers.
I purchased postcards here (there were three different types– regular mix of main characters, mickey mouse cutout which requires more postage, and glittery princess ones) — located in the left most section. I had a hard time finding them, because they were tucked away on a mid-​level shelf to the left of the cashier counter.
Quick checkout, short line. Nice helpful staff.

I don’t traditionally review many Disney Parks stores, but this is one that needs a brief review.
I love this place. It provided me with so much stuff, between the Disneyland inspired CD’s of park music to sweatshirts and postcards to whatever, this place is well worth your money, if you’re trying to find something to commemorate your visit. Now, I just wish I could have bought the traditional Mickey ears hats to replace my now-​aging ones from my 1992 to the Florida park here, but I never was able to fully locate them.

This is pretty much THE store in California Disney. I was a bit disappointed at the fact that there wasn’t really too many things that actually reflected California. It was just another giant Disney store, masquerading as something that really wanted to have California themed products, but didn’t. I’m sure that Disney could whip up several financially viable contracts with some local companies and slap Mickey Mouse on it. Then mark it up 500%. Things like fools gold/​gold, wines, anything with the state flag, jams, or anything having to do with the Missions or Native Americans. Unfortunately, none of those things apply.
I’d say that you are better off shopping at the World of Disney (
) which is located in Downtown Disney (
) for which you do not need a ticket to get into. It has a lot more stuff and is almost twice as large!

Large store. Only issue no one could tell me about the pin I was looking for. Plus side the cast member who helped us was really nice and talkative in a good way.

Yummy Candy Shoppe inside this place. The store itself has the usual, the mugs/​shirts/​clothes/​pins. But then, there is this super duper delish candy/​cupcake/​brownie/​candied apples/​fudge place. We love it, and always end up spending too much on sugar, but oooooh so worth it.

Love the fact that the isles of this store are HUGE! Makes shopping with a stroller much easier.
Bought some really cute Minnie mouse sunglasses for my daughter here today for $ 10.95.

After getting off Tower of terror with my friend Teri G we decided to hop on over to the other park. So walking towards the exit the candy store stopped the both of us dead in our tracks. We took one look at eachother and said let’s go! What a cute candy shop. A little on the pricey side (saw some goodies in the case that were almost $ 10.00 eek!) I decided i’ll hold off and wait till we go into disneyland to get my snack on. Teri decided to get a couple of suger free goodies. Cusomer service is quick and friendly. The check out process is kind of on the messy side. The girls who take your order and get the goodies from the cases put it in a bag and on the back shelf. Then you stand in line and wait to check out. When you get to the register you tell the cashier what you have and they have to go to the shelf behind them and try and find your order. I think the counter girls should write your name on the bags just incase your order gets mixed up with someone elses. It would make the process stress free too!
The cashier that helped my friend seemed very confused and overwhelmed as she told her what she ordered. Cashier found her bag opened it and asked is this yours. Friend said yes it is, cashier said the total, paid for it and we were outta there. (BTW they have discounts for passholders too!!)
Friend said her goodies were great and tasted fresh! I’ll have to stop by this place the next time im in this park! I think the chocolate marshmallow on a stick is calling my name!

This is the main gift shop (near the entrance/​exit) at Disney’s California Adventure Park. There is quite a selection of everything Disney related (a smaller version of World of Disney shop).
You can also do annual passes inside Greetings from California, instead of going to the Disneyland Park.

Huge gift shop. They sell everything from dish towels, pins, hats, sweaters, leather jackets. Lacks mens pants or undergarments (boxers, etc). Lots of Alice in Wonderland, Pirates, and Jack Skellington attire. Prices are expensive — as are all things Disney. If you dine nearby, the receipt usually has a 20% coupon for Greetings from California on it, which saved my $ 32 bucks on my last purchase.

This is one of the bigger gift shops inside DCA. Love that they have a candy shop inside where you can pick up sweet treats like cookies, cupcakes and caramel apples. Their red velvet cupcake was really moist with lots of cream cheese frosting… yum! The gingerbread cookie was okay but a little too much for me. They sell the exact same caramel apples as Marceline’s in Downtown Disney, which is fine since they are super yummy!
I’d give them 4 stars except one of the two ladies helping me that day was really snooty and rolled her eyes when I asked for a different gingerbread cookie than the one she had originally picked up. WTF? Apparently, she didn’t go through all the proper Disney training regarding customer service. It’s not like the place was even busy (I was the only one there!) Ugh!!!
