There are 3 stores in Tomorrowland. There is a store between Buzz Lightyear and the Jedi Training Academy. This store is right where the Buzz Lightyear ride exit is. It is called “Little Green Men Store Command”. This store also doubles as a pin store where they have tables outside to share pins.
The Little Green Men Store Command store mainly has Toy Story and Cars items. They also have a few princess and Phineas and Ferb items. They also have a large pin selection there. There is always at least 1 worker with pins for you to trade with. They also have tables outside of the store. These are used to do pin trading among private traders a lot.
Another store is at the exit of Star Tours. It is called “The Star Trader.” This store has mainly has Star Wars merchandise, but it does have a variety of other generic Disney items such as hats, sweatshirts and key chains as well.
The Star Trader has a wide variety of Star Wars merchandise. They have a make your own light saber activity which is neat but kind of costly. Those light sabers have lights and sounds and if you have 2 they make clashing sounds. They also have some pretty neat more expensive things like character backpacks and figurines. This store also has a variety of hats and mickey ears including some Star Wars ones.
Autopia Winner’s Circle is near the entrance of Autopia. Here they mainly have little nick nacs and trinkets and awards for Autopia.
Autopia Winner’s Circle is outdoors. It is mainly a general merchandise store. This is a great place to stop and get a couple small items that don’t cost a lot without the hassle of the store.
Of all the stores, our family stops into the Little Green Men Store Command store the most. We trade pins and get pin souvenirs to keep our cost low.
