Innoventions:

Mouse Gear:

One of the biggest (if not, the biggest shop in Epcot) and this stocks top-notch mouse gear, disney charecter books, memorabelia, toys, cars, plushes, the ‘Build your own Mr. Potato Man’ from Toy Story, footwear, kiddies toys from attractions around the park and WDW resort, hats, towels and much, much more!

This shop has a wide variety of Disney animation art, including production cels, hand painted limited-edition items, figurines and much more.

Showcase Plaza:

Port of Entry:

A kiddie’s shop with all the clothing you’d need for infants, toddlers and kids as well as some plush toys and dresses for girls.

Disney Traders:

Sundries, sunglasses and a few novelties (but, not many) from World Showcase, this shop is more primarily on the more, non themed Disney merchandise. A few snowglobes and home items are found here, too.

Canada:

Northwest Merchantile:

This very Canadian store has NHL jerseys, hats, t-shirts (all Canadian teams, of course), wine and wine themed items including mugs, aprons etc. and a host of moose, owl and hats as well as a small variety, of nice Christmas decorations.

The Queen’s Table:

This lovely shop sells perfumes, soaps and other fragrant goodies, the decorations inside look wonderful and if you’re into those sort of items (to be honest, fragrant goodies aren’t for me) but if it is then check it out, I personally think it’s better than the perfume shop in France.

This small store specialises in rock-’n'-roll-themed items, (yes, British bands) and has some musical items, one of the bands being the Beatles.
