There was a great photo album I had my eye on all during my trip to Disneyland, and wouldn't you guess that I forgot to buy it!
Is there any way to buy park merchandise outside of the parks?
Also- I bought someone a shirt I am not sure will fit- Are we stuck with it, or is there a way to exchange it?
Thanks!

We did the same thing when we went to WDW.

In our case it was a calender. I called 1-407-W-Disney (Disney Information) and told them, they gave me a # for WDW mail order. I would assume that Disneyland has a similair service.
I just told them where I saw it, and they mailed it to me. I have also done this with porceline figurines, so that I didn't break them on the way home! If you can think of anything else you want, now is the time to get it. They have a minimum on shipping, something like $8.00 up to a certain dollar amount (don't remember what that is), so might as well get your money's worth on the shipping!

As for the shirt, we got my brother in law a mickey "polo" shirt and it was too small. All he had to do was exchange it for something else at the Disney Store. (This was a little over a year ago...I would call your local Disney Store to make sure the same rule applies!)

Wow,
Thanks for the quick info. That's great to know!
My advice for those who shop at the "Worlds" - if you see it and want it and need it, BUY IT. You might forget to do it later on!

I agree. I missed out on a GREAT porceline Cinderella Castle, that opens up and has a coach inside. It was so beautiful (and only around $20 bucks if I remember right!)

As soon as we got home....I called mail order and told them I had seen it at the Emporium on Main Street, she linked me directly with the Emporium and they were sold out, but she said she'd search the rest of the "world" and that she would call me back. Well, she called me back and just my luck...they were gone!

So the saying goes...."if you snooze, you lose!"
