Re: Dollar Store Disney BONANZA!

We got the glow stick with the star on top at our dollar store - ppl at MK kept asking us were we got them.

I got the same as you did - the toothbrushes, sanitizing wipes etc - but I also got a few other things for DD. My store had plastic figurines of Disney villains, Disney puzzles, stickers and coloring books. She had many Disney things to keep her occupied on the way down and back home! We ended up not getting as many souvenirs as we would have if we did not have that stash already.

Re: Dollar Store Disney BONANZA!

I have been getting really lucky at finding great trial sizes at good prices at the Harmon store. Does everyone have one of those?

Re: Dollar Store Disney BONANZA!

I forgot about the Sunscreen. I wonder if we will need it in December? The great thing about the Dollar Store chain is that there are so many around....I Live in PA but commute to Baltimore everyday so I pass by no less than 7 dollar store locations...they all have different things. I found Disney Princess pens...Mickey Mouse paddle balls...Disney headbands and socks.....

Children don't care where it came from...(unless they are teenagers!)

What section of the store are these glow sticks in? Toy section? Another section?

Hi, I don't know if you have a Big Lots in your part of the world, but my local Big Lots had some cute Disney stuff, too. Have fun!

Thank you! I'm going to try to get over to our dollar store this week. I'll put them away for our next Disney trip or we'll use them sometime next summer.

I hardly ever go to Big Lots, but this makes me want to pop in there this week.

Re: Dollar Store Disney BONANZA!

Just wanted you bargain shoppers to know I found some more Disney goodies in the dollar section of Target today. I hadn't been in there in a while and they had a bunch of cute stuff out: jewelry, notepads, socks, headbands, crayons, color-by-numbers, mini dry-erase boards...all in the Dollar section. You could really save a BUNDLE on souvenirs with these goodies!

Re: Dollar Store Disney BONANZA!

Target has a DOLLAR section? Why was I not aware of this? Where is it?

I practically LIVE in Target.

Well, we have a Super Target. It has two entrances: one side takes you into the grocery/pharmacy side and the other entrance takes you to the electronics/clothes... the dollar section at our store is right as you walk in on the electronics side. I think it's called "The Dollar Spot" or something like that. I hope yours has one. Is it a Super Target?

Re: Dollar Store Disney BONANZA!

I had gotten them last year. But one didn't work. I told my DGD after we got on the boat then we would make it glow......it didn't ....I wish we had tried it back at the room. So now unless I'm carrying a handfull of glow things, I activate them back at the room.

I am in NY and we only have REGULAR Targets here. There is a Dollar Spot in EVERY Target! Look for it...or ask a store manager. It might be hidden behind the electronics department!

Thanks for the dip, BBee! I LOVE Target and love it even more when I find Disney Deals in the Dollar Spot.
