D23's Sneak Peek at the Disney Store in Times Square NYC

Story and Photos by Mandi Silverman Bromberg

We arrived at the store at 8am on the dot and were ushered upstairs. we were able to get a quick bite to eat and Jim Fielding started his intro, talking about opening a store later this month in Scotland and two in Canada next year.

After he talked about the store opening and what they went through with the childrens place, he opened the mic to the public, he gave a funny trivia about the Hanukkah line of products being "recalled" because the menorah had piglet on it.

Then Jody Benson came on stage and talked about her history with Disney. They presented her with the print of the little mermaid, and then she signed every ones copy.

We then just explored the store and spent too much money!!

The decor in the store is magical!! The downstairs is full of NYC shirts, hats, cups and exclusive NYC pins. There are Christmas items and Vinylmation, (limited to 2 big ones and 5 small 3" per person).

The upstairs is movie related with Ridemakers. There is a virtual mirror, a small movie area and interactive trees (very cool) sometimes it was snowing or the leaves were falling. Then once during the 3 hrs we were there we "hung" out they did something with the villans, they were on the movie screen and the music got scary, all the cast members were rubbing their hands saying to all the kids, lets make pixie dust and defeat the villians, very cute!!

The store is smaller than the World of Disney that closed last year, but in no way less magical!!
