Mickey’s Pantry

Cool spot for Disney themed kitchen goods and a few pantry items such as spices and teas. If you need to bring home a gift or souvenir for someone in your life old enough to appreciate something other than a set of mouse ears, then this may be right up your alley. Maybe a fun kitchen gadget for your newlywed niece, or some cute tea towels for the neighbor who fed your dog while you were away on vacation? A great stop for sure!

The partnership with Spice and Tea Exchange makes this store a unique stop when visiting a tourist destination. While they carry a unique «varieTEA» of items it could have a few more kitchen items I feel. A very clean and open store, the staff are friendly and will help you with your questions and offer suggestions. The prices are decent though considering they are name brand spices.

Looking for a specific item for your kitchen that has Mickey on it? Well, look no further, because odds are, you’ll find it here!
I have so much Mickey stuff for my kitchen, I really don’t even know where to start! Mickey Icon-​shaped «corningware» dish — Check. Mickey potholders — Check. Mickey dishtowels — Check. Mickey sink-​stopper — Check. Mickey measuring cups — Check. MIckey measuring spoons — Check. Mickey spatula — Check. Mickey blinking colour cubes for drinks — Check. Mickey cooking spoon — Check. Mickey spoon rest — Check. Mickey spaghetti picker-​upper — Check. Mickey tongs — Check. Mickey platter — Check. Mickey glasses — Check. Mickey wine stoppers — Check. I could go on and on and on and on and on… but I think you get the idea. =)
It is a very cool store just to look around. Even if you’re not looking to totally give your kitchen over to The Mouse, I’ll bet you’ll be able to find at least one thing here you’re want!

If you are looking for Disney paraphernalia for your kitchen, then this is the place to check out. You can find coffees, teas, coffee mugs, travel mugs, kitchen utensils, cookbooks, dish towels, spices, etc., at this store. While you can find some of these things at The Disney store, this place carries a bit more stuff dedicated to the kitchen. I really like some of the coffee mugs they have and usually pick one up every time I’m here. In typical Disney fashion, prices are on the high side.

I have to warn you, Random Reader, that I am a big fan of Disney and the store is named after the head mouse, so knock off a star if you hate Disney (and by extension children and America). For the Disney fans out there, nothing I say would probably stop you from coming here anyways so let me just point out the things I found unique.
Teas! I’m a tea nerd in the making and having large glass jars brimming with tea that I could pop open and sniff was my adult version of a kid’s candy shop. Unfortunately you can only buy their selections in single ounce packets and it’s quite pricey @ $ 5/​oz (or $ 80/​lb!), so this became more of a gift section.
Baking and cooking spices! There’s also a large selection of sugars and spices (also available to smell like the teas, although I was nervous about inhaling ground pepper, onion and garlic) for making your favorite sweet or savory creations. Again the prices relegate these items into the gift category rather than encouraging me to make the shop my preferred kitchen vendor.
The other merchandise they sell includes all the kitchenware, cookware and dishware one would need to transform their kitchen into an extension of Disneyland… or potentially a creepy shrine. These items can be found in any of the theme park stores or off the Disney website however and aren’t as unique to the shop.
If you’re in the area and have any interest in the kitchen, it would behoove you to at least step inside and feel the marketing magic. I ended up leaving with an apron, potholder and more overpriced tea than I care to admit, but the smile on my face acted like a golden shield against buyer’s remorse. Or so I remind myself until the credit card statement arrives.

I really enjoy cooking and baking and kitchen stuff. I also enjoy Disney stuff. I also know that this is the store you want to come for any of your Disney kitchen ware (if you aren’t heading into the theme parks). Granted, many of the items can also be found in World of Disney but that store is usually more crowded.
here there is a small wall of magnets, a section for children’s dishes, several shelves of mugs/​cups, a section for wines, cook books, coffee/​tea and utensils/​towels/​dishes. I never noticed before that they had coffee and tea presses (unless it’s a more recent item) but I thought those were both pretty unique. I also enjoyed the Alice in wonderland tea box… too bad I’ve already got my tea box.
Although this store is not TOO large in size, I find myself taking my time and end up wanting to purchase everything in the store! I did stop after getting christmas gifts– towel sets, the tea and coffee presses, some holiday coffee, mugs…
I also enjoy the little corner of the Pantry dedicated to spices and seasonings (separate company!)
