Disney Store NYC

[Disney05]

Has anybody been to the New York City Disney Stre yet? I hear it's big.
Anything to feed the Disney urge. :mickey:

Hi, fellow Long Islander!

The store is pretty big, and has some nice unique merchandise. I've made several trips in to NYC for it and had a good time and spent quite a bit each trip. It's a better Disney fix than the local Disney Store

It's website is www.worldofdisney.com

Whats the difference between this and a disney store except for the fact they are owned by two different companies?

I think that basically its huge and it sells the same merchendise as the parks do.

I hope its more interesting then that

I had no idea it's been open since Oct. '04. I just came back from Disney World and there were some things I should have picked up while down there. I'll have to check this store out. I'm assuming it's just a little smaller than the store at the Disney Marketplace?

Yes, it's smaller than the Downtown Disney Marketplace one, but it's 3 floors of stuff.

And yes, Jarod, it's more interesting than an oversized Disney Store. They have character meet & greets, a special Cinderella program for kids, unique merchandise, an Art of Disney gallery, a build-your-own Mr. Potato Head stand, a media room to listen to/watch/try out CD's DVD's and computer games. And they have WDW merchandise as well.

At the heart of it, yes, it's a store. But it's a lot closer than Disney World for some of us, and they did a pretty good job of bringing at least the Disney shopping experience to us.
