Hey everyone, I was just online at disneystore.com and they are hiring for the holidays!!!! I live in the chicagoland area and our disney store just re-opened a little over a year ago or so and it is totally clothes, toys and stuffed animals!! with some halloween costumes, my question is are they all like this? I remember when they had snow globes and candles and holders fun things and pretty things not just clothes and toys. I am considering applying for a job because of my PDD I thought this may help a little. so if anyone has a disney store by them that has more than mentioned above please let me know (the online store has tons of different things unlike the store itself!!):hmmm

Thanks all, and have a Great night!!!!

P.S. everyone here at disneycentral have helped me with my PDD just reading trip reports and anything else keeps me going!!! can't wait for the chicago meet and greet!! Nov. 22nd

Bye and Goodnight!!!!;) Jacki:)

From all the reports I have heard all the new Disney Stores in the malls have all gone to mostly childrens things and very little for any of the adults that are still children at heart.... I now have to order from disney store on line.... Maybe they will change back...

I live in Missouri near Branson and we have a Disney Store in Springfield which is pretty much children's clothes, stuffed animals, toys, a very few movies & CD's and maybe 1 rack of adult clothes.

I too miss the days when you could get a better variety of stuff at the DisneyStore. I especially miss the watches. Every year for Mother's Day my DH and DD would pick me out a watch. I haven't been able to get a watch for Mother's Day in several years. If I want a watch I either have to wait until our trip to WDW or buy from ebay.

We do have a DisneyStore Outlet in Branson and they have more of a variety of things since it's an outlet for DisneyStore magazine.

I have applied several times for Christmas help at the store in Springfield (I work in Springfield anyway) but I guess because I'm specific about the hours I could work they don't seem to call. I have a full time job that I dearly love and I just would like to have a little extra income so I could put toward our WDW trips and what better place to work than DisneyStore.

Oh well....Maybe they'll get the idea that we wish there was more variety in the stores and go back to that.

Unfortunately,I don't think they are ever going to go back to the way it was in the stores. I haven't bought anything from any Disney Store in several years.

Happy to say we are getting adult clothes and baby clothes again ,lots of snow globes the old days are back.I work at a Disney store for 5 years.We get fantastic discounts at WDW,Its nice to have good stuff to sell now,I just hope they keep the stores open.Please everyone come into the stores again to support us all.The end is near for many stores in February and maybe all except the ones the world of Disney purchased by fall.FYI on the christmas help job once christmas is over your done and so is your discount.GOOD LUCK:)

I'm glad that your store is getting adult things in again. It's just that the stores I go in never have stuff that adults would like.

we are just now getting the stuff in most adult stuff t shirts sweat shirts jackets more on the way,toasters and mickey waffle irons just showed up.For some reason after christmas the CDs are gone?Maybe theft I know the DVDs on the floor now are empty cases you get the DVD at checkout because of theft.Sad

Jacki -

My local Disney store is very small and they have just started to put all of their Xmas plush out. They still had quite a few costumes out. I askes the manager why they don't have all of hte other stuff that they use to (calenders and suc) and he told me that after Halloween I would see the regualr items they use to have. So, I'm crossing my fingers. I have to go check out disneystore.com. I want to get DD some Disney themed clothes for Xmas to wear on our trip and my Disneuy store NEVER has a kids (14-16):devil So, internet shopping I will go...hi ho hi ho.
