Does TP automatically build in post-ride shop time or do I need to account for that - my DM67 and sister 40 (what is abbreviation for sister?) have major shiny object syndrome so I am wondering if to keep myself sane I need to be sure to build in some extra time for that.
Also is there somewhere that lists where these attraction distractions exist? I know about Star Tours and TOT - anywhere else?
The one thing I may have going for me is I don’t think DM is planning to ride either of those specific rides so I can send her and DD2 to the shop while the rest of us (me, sister, DH43, DS4 (we’ll prob not TOT)) ride.
Thanks 
Everest/ if you go through the stand by line. Oh wait! Everywhere in AK- there are animals, drummers, singers, bands! Also, the street performers in HS?

I also suffer from Ooh Shiny disease. We set our TPs on the slowest walking pace and that helped build some extra time into our plans for when I was distracted.

As @larrielaine mentioned, setting the walking pace to its slowest value may help out a little bit. Otherwise, you can try my sheep dog approach - always keep the shoper between you and the exit, and as they move around the store you discretely herd them towards the exit.
@len - I think I have mentioned this before, but a great add-on for personalized plans would be a checkbox for attractions with gift shops at the end - tick it and the Optimizer/Evaluator tacks on additional time for shopping at that attraction. This would relieve some stress for the plan maker who has to deal with shopaholics.

Might be easier to list attractions that don’t exit into shops! Feels like most do.

Every attraction exits into a gift shop

Just when I thought my TPs were locked - I’ll see what very relaxed does and maybe if I build in some shopping time here and there it will be a good compromise :). I do already have attractions earmarked to jettison in each plan if we are going slower than planned - so that should help too. Thanks all!

Most guys aren’t “shoppers”; I am. But I have never really been distracted by the post-ride shops as I pretty much know I won’t buy anything in them. I set aside an evening to go to DS, and any “souvenir” shopping I want to do, I do there. EP is a different story; I can spend LOTS of time wandering through those shops (even though I typically don’t buy much there either).
We always look round the gift shops and don’t get off track. I think you’ll be fine. We always visit in summer, so pretty high crowds, and see the speed to relaxed.
Thank you! We are set to relaxed and are going at 5-6 crowd levels so sounds like I can relax
