I love going to the Guildford location here in Surrey BC. With no other way to get our Disney fix it was perfect. This is very upsetting! I feel heartbroken, esp for all the wonderful CMs that work in these stores
That’s our store too, but it’s over an hour away from us so I don’t go often. It was nice to have around, but I feel like we’ll be fineI love going to the Guildford location here in Surrey BC.

They are going to lose all Canadian shoppers. They don't have viable shipping options to Canada and so far they have only mentioned partnering with Target and Canadians don't have access to that either. It's definitely unfortunate. Hopefully lockdown ends before they close in Ontario because I'd love to get in another trip before it's no longer an option.
Sad as it is...BlogTO has jist done an article on this as well now...writing is on the wallOnly retail insider, no other news sources are saying that.

I had duty charged.For anyone that's bought on ShopDisney and shipped to thier Canadian addresses, have you had to pay customs/duty fees? Everything I've had shipped from the US up here since the pandemic started has not been charged for me, but I read on another forum that the shipping method used by Disney is more likely to be charged. What have your experiences been?

I just received a ShopDisney order this week but I used a freight forwarder (Planet Express) so shipping was cheaper than ShopDisney and I was not charged duty or taxes.For anyone that's bought on ShopDisney and shipped to thier Canadian addresses, have you had to pay customs/duty fees?

I have to figure it's true or Disney would have come flying out denying it by now, because it looks so bad (not to mention unfair to their staff, who will be worrying for weeks now about whether or not they need to go job-hunting).
Edmonton has two Disney stores. Last week, two of my friends asked an employee (at different store locations) if the rumours of store closings were true, and in both cases the employee said the rumours were false. Most likely, this is a case of employees "whistling past the graveyard" and hoping stores stay open. Sadly, I think the most likely scenario is that all Canadian locations will be closed by fall.
I read somewhere (I can't remember where, and have no idea if it is true) that the Disney store at West Edmonton Mall is the most profitable store in Canada, so for now I'm choosing to live in a Fantasyland where the WEM location stays open.
