Jane - have you tried buying a glass of champagne and then sitting outside the little shop soaking up the atmosphere - very pleasant and very "grown-up" after all the kiddie stuffquote:
Love Disney Shopping - could spend hours looking at anything related to the characters but do feel that Epcot's World Showcase is expensive - went to buy my daughter a Chinese dress and it was $100! Handbags in Italy are beautiful leather but again not cheap and as for the champagne in France!

Hadn't thought of buying just a glass, sounds fabulous and posh!! Definitely a photo op just to prove to the kids I can act my age! My daughter and I are a bit like Edina and Saffy of AbFab - I'm the wayward mother and she is the sensible daughter - my Mom does the batty Nan bit wonderfully!
The only downside are the plastic "glasses" - nice plastic.....but still plastic...

Never mention to an ardent collector that you are going to Disney. We were once asked to bring back the special 25th anniversary crystal Dumbo, which was a limited edition only available in the shop in the castle of MK. This was a special request from a work colleague of my husbands who omitted to tell us it cost an arm and a leg and provide the money upfront!! Anyway, it was £120 which we had to put on our visa. We were then totally terrified that the thing would get damaged before it got to her. Fortunately we did manage to get it to her in one piece and she was delighted. What a responsability though! Reckon it has gone up a bit in value by now. Collectors stuff, especially limited edition, often does and is worth buying.
