A few of the shops have exclusive Mr. Potato Head merchandise (word of advice- just fill the box up with parts, and not the actual potato- just buy that at your local toy store, since it's the same- it takes up room).

As far as DVDs go, there is a line of theme park DVDs in some stores.

Once Upon A Toy in Downtown Disney has the largest selection of Mr. Potato Head parts if I remember correctly. Pretty much anything that says "Walt Disney World" is probably an exclusive. I'm not sure if any shops carry more things than others though.

As blackcauldron85 said, there is a line of parks-exclusive DVDs available. Most are easy to find. <i>The Magic of Christmas</i> isn't as widely available but can be found in Liberty Square's Christmas Shop (perhaps a few of the others too).

There are a couple locations right in the vicinity of the Indiana Jones show at the Studios park at WDW that sell some Indy merchandise, including what I believe are park-exclusive action figures. Someone more knowledgeable might come up with the merchandise location names; I'd have to go find a park map somewhere...I seem to recall one is sort of a kiosk set up around a jeep near the attraction entry, the other is a more permanent (but open-air) shop location not far from the show's exits.

Also the Star Tours attractions have spawned quite a series of park-exclusive Star Wars action figures; I've purchased several for neighbors in return for dogsitting on WDW trips. (Although I find at least <a href="http://www.etoys.com/genProduct.html/PI ... d/17">some of them</a> are no longer park-exclusive...of course, you could probably track them all down on eBay if you wanted to)

Does anyone know if the parks have exclusive Pirates figures? I recall seeing POTC action figures on the past couple trips and I seem to remember them as being quite different from any of the figures on sale at Wal-Mart & Target, etc.

They also have the Mr. Potato heads in Epcot in the Mouse Gear, when i bought the potato heads the lady that worked in the store told me to open the back of mr. potato and stuff him with as many pieces as possible.
