Shopping in Epcot

Photographic Innoventions by Scott Thomas

Do you like to shop? Even when on vacation at Walt Disney World? When traveling with my wife and two daughters, shopping is a part of the trip. I do like to shop though not as much as they do. Luckily, I have a camera with me and find my own kind of shopping…capturing details of shops imagineeered and themed as much as any Disney attraction or ride is.

The Tea Caddy shop sells specialty tea items, candies and chocolates found in the United Kingdom. I found this item particularly fitting, a tea pot featuring Aice in Wonderland characters.

In Germany’s Die Weihnachts Ecke shop, it is always time for Christmas shopping for beautiful ornaments.

In Mouse Gears, the merchandise carts are kept together with unique nuts and bolts.

So, if you find yourself a little bored with your travelmates shopping habit, pick up your camera or camera phone and capture the experience.
