Forever Vintage And Surplus - Winter Haven, Florida

This place is so fun!! They have varied merchandise and lots of Disney-used items. Staff is very friendly. As others have said, some of the pricing is crazy expensive, but there are good deals to be had if you hunt!

Great place to look around. Prices are on the high side compared to other great options for those willing to shop around in local vintage and thrift stores.

Much better than rip off shops run by some shifty groups that are in Disney main traveled roads.

If prices were better, I say four stars. Oh, peeps are very nice there. Again, think prices are all a good 30% over other local disney options.

See my other reviews for more local disnet area thrift and vintage options.

A must for Disney Parks fans! This store is stocked with new, used, and vintage Disney items. Plan to spend at least an hour checking out all the treasures in several rooms. Highly recommended!

Amazingly great place, a must visit when in the area. So many great items. From Disney rugs, pictures, furniture, posters, to small items. It's not all Disney items well ok many are. You be this judge and see this place.

I'm a big Disney fan, and this place has been turned into the place to go for some Disney merchandise. It used to be antiques with some Disney extra items (used furniture or decor from the hotels and such). But now they only sell Disney items. It's fun checking out all the new items and what they have since the Disney outlet is much farther away from me.

Saw very happy people on Instagram, encouraging you to come to the shop. We waited all week to go. We did not spend anywhere near the time that I thought we would be spending in the store. Let me just say as a former cast member I miss Cast Connections terribly, and was hoping to score a few pieces to add to my collection of Disney furniture. I was sorely disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, the store was stocked completely, from floor to ceiling with Disney items, however they were grossly overpriced. Apparently we weren’t the only ones that felt this way, because we saw lots of people leaving empty-handed. One guy grumbled to his wife saying ,”Honey, I love you, but really? $15 for 1 bar of soap, and $75 for a dusty Bambi pillow?”
Definitely some vintage items as far as the figurines. Most of the items that have been cleared out of the resorts look like they have been sitting there for more than 10 years… and at the prices, they are asking I can see why they are still sitting.
If you are interested in owning a piece of Disney Resorts history, and money is of no object, then this will be the place for you. Otherwise, do a wee bit of research, and hit the Antique Mall in Lakeland… exact same items for a fraction of the cost.

1st time here and probably won’t be back. Yes a lot of the stuff is cool used Disney stuff but they don’t take care of it and a lot of the stuff was beat up from being in their care. The prices were super high considering other places sell the exact same things for less money. People seemed friendly but just not worth it when other places offer most of the same things for less money and in a better environment. The warehouse was super tight and pretty gross and a lot of stuff was outside in the Elements. They do offer help loading if you buy something big but they really should if they charge 40% more then other places. Just overall not worth the drive from the Disney area. I did Leave disappointed.
