Best location for Pandora jewelry (other than Disney Springs)?

[StarTunnelVibes]

I am interested in purchasing some Pandora pieces during my upcoming trip. What is the best location within parks/resorts for variety of charms?

I know there is a retail store at Disney Springs, but we might not get there this trip.

Thanks!

Off the top of my head, In the MK the shop about half way down Main Street on the right. In DHS, the shop on Sunset Blvd on the right as you walk from Hollywood Blvd.

Also, does anyone know if each park has its own themes charm?

The Pandora that's in Hollywood Studios is pretty big & spacey so i'd def try there

Agree! It didn’t seem crowded when we were in there last fall. Some of the locations seem so swamped!

Legends Of Disney is one of the most beautiful shops in the parks, always adore walking through there! The big bonus is that it's never crowded vs a lot of the other shops in the parks & the springs

In DAK the first shop on the right as you come into the Tree of Life forecourt has the Pandora section.

In Epcot, the Pandora merchandise seems to be in the main shop and in one of the two buildings at the south end of World Showcase.

We found the Contemporary and the Poly gift shops both had a good selection, without the long lineups and crowds at World of Disney/Pandora store at DS.

Are there charms that you are only able to get in the parks? I got a bracelet and a charm last year, but it was just from the Boardwalk shop.

I'll be happy to answer this based on personal experience.
They will tell you and/or you might read "Park Exclusive" but that's not always the case. You might be the first person to buy said items at Disney, but eventually the products will become available at Pandora .com, and all Authorized Pandora Jewelry Retailers

Case in point:


Pandora 590731CZ Disney Mickey Bracelet
Disney Theme Park Exclusive
Purchased in Disneyland 2015 $85

A few months after being told by Pandora CS, repeatedly that this was a Park Exclusive it became available online and in-store, like everywhere. Heck, in other countries you can still buy it Direct link

In terms of the Castles, that might be different as I have never seen them sold anywhere but Disney:

• Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle: Direct link
• WDW Cinderella Castle: Direct link
• Tokyo Disneyland Castle: Direct link

I'm sure those who follow Pandora will school me which is fine & dandy, hopefully others will chime in. Honestly I don't know if there are any other charms or bracelets that are Park Exclusives.

Here is another item Pandora boasted was a Limited Edition, telling everyone once it sells out, it's gone. We will not be making anymore. However, it was re-released in 2020 due it being so popular. The backlash was harsh and after the second sold out, Pandora removed the listing immediately from their online store.

The Harry Potter x Pandora Winter 2019 Collection was released on Thursday 28th November 2019 both in store and online, and at authorized retailers.

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions! I just got back from my vacation and wanted to update in case anyone is curious. I ended up getting a snake chain bracelet, 4 charms and a safety chain.

Epcot - Port of Entry - has a nice Pandora section, the staff was very helpful as well. It was busy when I went around 4 pm. I purchased my bracelet, safety chain, and 3 out of the 4 charms I bought. *this location has new charms for 3 world showcase pavilions

MK - uptown jewelers - again, nice Pandora section. This store in general is beautiful. A little busy when I went around 2 pm. I purchased one charm here.

HS - legends of Hollywood- big Pandora section, not super busy around 4:30 pm. I went here looking to purchase a safety chain, but they were out of sterling silver ones (which was a little surprising)

For those familiar with Pandora, do you think there’s a large enough selection at WDW to start a bracelet? I’m completely new to Pandora and trying to educate myself. I think it would be fun build a Disney Pandora bracelet with my daughter.

Do they honor DVC or AP discounts?

@FoxC63 - you’re bracelet is beautiful.

I definitely think there is enough of a range to start a Pandora bracelet at Disney. The Legends of Hollywood shop in HS that others have mentioned have a fairly large range of Disney and non-Disney pandora charms.

Yes, they have a really wonderful selection and may carry some of the older Disney charms as well.

I recall being able to use my AP discount AND payed with discounted DisneyGift cards that I got at 20-25% Off. If you're interested, here's the link to the dedicated DGC thread:

A few things to keep in mind:

• Take care when selecting your charms as some tend to be top heavy and will flip upside down as seen below:
• 
• For me personally, it is a deal breaker.
• 
  
• You might want to try on some of the assembled charm bracelets to get a feel for the correct size of bracelet to purchase. That makes sense, right? Hmm.. I have several different sizes of bracelets but not all the them can hold the same amount of charms and they all fit my wrist. These varying sizes allow me to go simple/elegant to full throttle.
• I cannot stress the importance of Pandora's Safety Chains - so many cute designs to choose from too. I witnessed & helped a very panicked guest who realized her bracelet was gone. We found some of the charms on Main Street near the bakery. I'm not sure if she recovered all of them but wow. I know some here might say, they've never used a safety chain in all their bracelet wearing years. Fair warning, buying into Pandora is an investment, protect your investment even if for Peace of Mind.

Thank you @SnowWhite09 and @FoxC63

@FoxC63 - this info makes sense and is very valuable. I went to a Pandora store last week to educate myself. I’ll definitely get the safety chain when I get the bracelet and I’ll be mindful of the types and weight of charms.
