Is it Worth Visiting the Disney Character Warehouse?

When planning a visit to Disney’s Character Warehouse while on vacation, it’s important to consider transportation options. The outlets are not located on Disney property, so getting there will require a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft, or having your own car. 

With the stores often flooded with other Disney fans and locals, and with inventory shifting regularly, it’s essential to set aside ample time for a leisurely browse to uncover those hidden gems, which could take away from a full day in the theme parks. 

For those who are not on vacation and who live close to Disney, the Character Warehouse allows for spontaneous trips, so you can check in frequently without the pressure of planning a full day at the parks.
