Mickey coming to your Disney Store?

WDW Rules · 06-30-2008

Just saw on WDWMagic.com that Mickey is coming to all the Disney stores this summer. No schedule as yet.

That's great!! When we go to WOD we see everyone else but Mickey. Now I can go to the local mall and see him.

Daisee · 06-30-2008

I was just at our local Disney store on Friday. They had a huge summer sale, practically everything in the store was on sale. I got super cute shirts for $4.99 each.. beach towels.. $5.99 each

The clerk said that our store was one of the last few open in our area. She said that they have been demolishing other store locations. The work crews are told to "sledge hammer" all the props in the stores, then they have to be photographed to prove they were destroyed. Seems strange. She said they were not even allowed to buy them.. such a shame.. really cute props in the stores.

She also mentioned that when they re~open, they will carry items similar to what you can buy in the parks, & WOD, such as more adult clothing.

It would be great if they brought the characters into the stores.. Mickey would be super!

That is a shame to destry all the props. In this day, when there are many charities needing funds, that could have been a great way to raise money.

My thoughts exactly. I was thinking they could hold an auction, and donate funds to charity.

It would be so great if Mickey came to our store here in Austin. I really need a hug from him!! November is just too far off!!

I am so pleased to hear that they are bringing back things from the parks.

This is good news! I'd love to be able to get park-type stuff in my local store, and to get to see Mickey when we go shopping would be the BEST!!

I sure hope they remodel/update the store at our mall. The cm's there were told 2 years ago that they were going to update the store, but it never happened.

Disney now owns them, and from what I hear, they are reopening only certain locations, and they are being remodeled.

Jennatrz · 06-30-2008

Luckily my store is staying and hopefully being remodeled. There is a thread on here with the stores that are closing. I think it is somewhat accurate.

My daughter is a huge stuffed animal fan . . . it's like her thing, each time we go she gets one! Anyway, I was in the Disney Store and I was

that the same animal, was like half the price of the parks!!

I asked the CM and she said the only real difference of the ones you buy in the park is they have an official seal on them that says WDW/DL and you can say "I bought it in WDW!"

So if they start selling other "park" items I'd be interested to see the difference in price? Or is it will be the same across the board now that Disney owns them again?

He'll be really lonely at mine. They went away couple of weeks ago!

That would be ideal! I was in the Disney Store in the Danbury Fair Mall last week, and they were in their final 5 days!!

I picked up a beautiful Oswald statue for only $3.99! I asked about buying some of the props, and I was told they were not for sale.

What a shame. I really hate seeing Disney stores close down. That's the FIRST store I go to in ANY mall!

I was in our store the day before they were closing, and it was sooo sad! My 3 yo DD was pointing out all of the character props that she recognized around the ceiling. She was so excited to see all of them, it breaks my heart to think of someone taking a sledgehammer to them! The Disney Store near us that closed always made me feel like I was in a little corner of Disney World. The decor in the store near us that is remaining open is not nearly as magical, so I'll be thrilled if they redecorate it. By they way, I ended up getting better deals at the store with the sale going on than I did at the store that was going out of business! That sale was fantastic!
