So my local Disney Store is closing... and there are still going to be a couple opened nearby... but this is the one that I grew up with and it's special to me.
Here are some pictures of what The Disney Store looked like in the 90s...
So this isn't actually from the 90s based on some of the characters I see in there... but my store had a stuffed animal tower like this that I would always climb in... probably super unsanitary... but fun! Lol.
They were filled with statues of the different Disney Characters... mostly the Fab 5... It looks like they have some other princesses in there too... and it was just a lot of fun. You could pre-order the videotapes and they would come with special toys or lithograph pictures or something. They also always had buttons that you could get when new movies came out. Even when I was a grown up I got one of my friends an Avengers Water Bottle because I knew that was her favorite movie and she used water bottles a lot... anyway they gave me a happy birthday button or sticker for her or something too... I remember it was really nice. And the people in the stores are always so helpful too that... they were really sales people... they would play into the "magical" theme of everything and honestly you really had to get something while you were there. It was kind of bad but also fun.
This was also the last real kids store in our mall...there are a few other places with some toys and kids clothes or books... but it isn't as fun as Disney Store! When I was working at this mall- it kind of helped the kids behave a little better if the moms said "Okay we can go to Disney Store after this!" and it was nice to kind of nice.
I also think one of my favorite places to go around the holidays is the Disney Store. They have really cute and clever decorations and mugs... I did get a mug recently that had a spot where you could keep your cookies. I also got some ornaments from there this year... it was just cute and a little different and more kid friendly than something like The Hallmark Store or something.
I'm a big Disney fan and it'll always make me a little sad now seeing the store empty. As of right now I don't know if anything will be in that store space. I'm guessing they'll put their Christmas stuff there around Christmas and maybe they'll keep seasonal stuff there. I don't know. I'm just pretty sad about it right now... and I'm going to try to get there a lot before it closes on Monday... which already happened by the time I'm posting this... but I'll try to maybe include a haul of things I get... I might not get a lot of stuff- but if I do I'll show you guys!
Bye!
