With the holiday season upon us, many of us are thinking of what might be “that perfect gift” for a loved one. And the next time you visit a Disney World park, you might have access to a Personal Shopper to help you figure that out!
Mickey’s of Hollywood
Today at Mickey’s of Hollywood in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we spotted this sign for Complimentary Personal Shopping services.

We learned that today is the very first day they are testing the Personal Shopper experience at Mickey’s of Hollywood. Currently, there are two Cast Members in Mickey’s of Hollywood who can offer suggestions for gifts or other purchases, and they can also help guests find other gifts available in the park via iPad.

But the process doesn’t stop there. If you are interested in an item, the Cast Member can pick up the gift for you if it’s located at a different park shop. Later in the day, you can come back to Mickey’s of Hollywood to purchase the item (or items) prior to park close. Or, if you wish to purchase something you see right away, they can have the item waiting for you at package pickup later in the day.
Today is the first day of a three day test, and it is not yet known if this service will be around for the rest of the busy holiday season, or perhaps even beyond. So, as always, stayed tuned!

That would be amazing if they did it all year round! I was on a hunt for one specific shirt at animal kingdom, and asked if there was a way to purchase it from magic kingdom through their system to then have it arrive to my hotel room, with no luck that happened. so the day I wanted to shirt I had to make sure I was extra early so I had it for the day! This is great thing they are trying!
this just seems unnecessary to me, more people to stand around with ipads in already over congested stores with triple wide strollers, and now we need this too?
Complimentary the first 3 days and then wait till the 4th day, the fee will be astronomical!!!
Disney does nothing for free! There is a cost for everything, they just hide it for a while to draw guests in.
It’s called “extra magic “ or “add on’s”, take your pick.
I used to absolutely love Disney, now, I have a hard time stomaching what it’s become.
For them, it’s to bleed each guest dry, not caring if you have the “magical vacation” your actual paying for.
It would be neat to offer this kind of service for folks who spot something via social media or the shopdisneyparks app that is only available in the parks but maybe aren’t going to Disney anytime soon. (I miss a lot of neat stuff because I only get to go about once every 2 years.).
Christine, I agree!
