DIZNEWS: Special guests and Disney Store executives will be on hand
at Westfield Trumbull Mall this Sunday, August 21 to celebrate the
grand opening of the first in a series of completely remodeled
Disney Store locations designed to vividly capture the fun and
fantasy of Disney in greater detail than ever before. Dubbed "The
Mickey," the new Disney Store prototype is designed to transport
guests into a sparkling, character-rich world of classic Disney
magic and enchantment, with imaginative settings and colorful, eye-
popping displays. Plans call for the renovation of approximately 30
stores in North America by the end of the year. In addition to
Trumbull, CT, over the next several months the "Mickey" store
prototype will debut in such leading regional malls as Mall of
America in Minneapolis, MN, West Edmonton Mall, in Edmonton, AB,
Orland Square in Orland Park, IL, Northridge Fashion Center in
Northridge, CA, Staten Island Mall in Staten Island, NY and Danbury
Fair in Danbury, CT. From the bright red entryway shaped like
Mickey's iconic silhouette to the "Twirl Here" icon on the floor
outside the Princess-themed girls' dressing area, the 5,000 square
foot space in Westfield Trumbull Mall in Trumbull, CT is designed to
give children and families an authentic Disney experience. A
stunning, 11-foot high "Sorcerer Mickey" is featured in the store's
center, with an elliptical ceiling and sparkling, lenticular
lighting overhead. Kids take center stage here, with lower product
placement for easy access to little hands and a media wall area with
kid-friendly, Donald and Daisy "duckbills" as seats.
