What "Shops" do you frequent when you are at WDW?
I have to admit, when I'm at Disney as soon as our gang goes through the MK park entry, we head for the Castle (oooooo...the Castle) and then the rides and shows! I never seem to give the "Shops" any of my time. The next time I go, I'm going to saunter more and really explore these shops. What is your favourite and which would you suggest visiting? Are there secret shops?

Welcome to Intercot!
I went through MK two years ago and found that most of the shops carry the same things. There aren't many unique shops left. At least I never noticed any.
-
In the MK, I LOVE Uptown Jewelers. I also love the Emporium as it seems to carry a little bit of everything.

We like MouseGear (in Epcot) the best. It has a large selection of everything, and seems to have more options (sizes, colours) than some of the other locations.
We also love the store at POR and DD loves shopping in the Mexico pavilion in World Showcase.

We kind of hit them all at MK and Epcot. Love the Christmas shop in MK the best.
-
MouseGear at Epcot is my all time favorite. Like Heather said, it's got a little bit of everything.
At Magic Kingdom, I always hit Uptown Jewelers and love the Christmas store in Liberty Square.
In DTD, I always like seeing the edgier stuff at TrenD.
At the resorts, the gift shop at the Contemporary is my favorite.
-
Another fan of Mousegears here. It's the first place that comes to mind when I think of shops in Disney.
We enjoy finding unique non Disney items in WS. Seems we always find something new and interesting.
Uptown jewelers in MK. All of the Christmas shops. As far as resort shops, Contemporary is my favorite, but I also like the shops at the Poly and GF. TrenD and the kitchen shop are the ones we most frequent at DTD.

And always make time to go through the countries stores in Epcot world showcase. Love them, they always have different non disney miscellaneous items that are awesome!

Epcot has a nice sized MouseGear. I also frequent the lego store in downtown disney. If I find a toy store with the Mr. Potatoe head parts, I look for new feet etc. At Holloween I use the parts on potatoes and small gourds to make weird diorama. (Thanks to whomever started this and said it on this forum).

another vote for MouseGear here.
Actually, all of the World Showcase shops are a hit for me. I can't pass by one without stopping in.
But one of my all time faves has to be Camera Center. I always take something home from there, and it's always the last stop, or next to last stop for me when I end my WDW trips. (usually it's Spaceship Earth)

As others have said I agree that mousegear in epcot is one of the biggest with a great variety. I have also found different things in Hollywood studios stores than I have in other parks, they have a great villain's shop there. I am a huge fan of the world showcase shops.. I am guilty of buying more than one bottle of wine or perfume in the shops in france

...we do most of our shopping in DtD ....so we always go to "Basin" ...and buy enough soap to last a year (seriously)
....we also hit some of the women's apparel stores that were in the Pleasure Island area ...because we made it a habit to do some back-to-school shopping for my youngest daughter ...and get a new back-pack. (of course ..this fall she'll be starting college ...so I think the back-pack is off the table)
...when in Epcot ....we always get some stuff in Mitsukoshi (Japan) ...because my daughter loves Japanese anime ...and thay have plenty of items to her liking.

We love the Art of Disny at Epcot/DTD/DHS.
We also never miss Disney Days of Christmas at DTD, as well as TrenD.
I never miss the chance to get some awesome makeup and perfume in the France shops as well.

I second the MouseGears, the Mainstreet MK stores (especially the one that was the cinema), Downtown Disney xmas and world of disney.
But we also like the Art/Animation store at DD. They have some great pieces, and interesting park type items (like replica signs, etc).
