Disney Character Warehouse Opens at Tampa Premium Outlets
The outlet gives Gulf Coast shoppers closer access to discounted Disney parks merchandise through the Walt Disney World distribution network.
Overview
- The Tampa store opened Monday, November 9, 2026, at Tampa Premium Outlets, 2300 Grand Cypress Drive in Lutz, offering an official Disney outlet location closer to the Gulf Coast.
- Shoppers can find discounted official parks merchandise such as Spirit Jerseys, Loungefly bags, pins, toys, collectibles, and apparel, but stock rotates frequently and specific items are not guaranteed.
- All sales at Disney Character Warehouse locations are final under a no-refund, no-return, no-exchange policy that took effect February 1, 2026, a rule Disney says is aimed at reducing reselling.
- Disney Careers job postings in August named the Tampa outlet and described duties tied to inventory counts, transfers and deliveries, confirming the store’s operational link to Walt Disney World distribution.
- The new Tampa location joins two Central Florida outlets at Orlando International and Vineland Premium Outlets — with Vineland moving into a larger unit — reflecting a regional retail reconfiguration rather than any park or resort development.
