Sorry to say, but the 42nd Street store has been closed a very long time. I think the one near The Empire State Building is closed also, but I am not 100% sure.

There is a big one on 5th Ave. around 57th street? It might be a block or two one way or the other.

The store on 5th Ave. is great. They have almost everything that dw has. Don't miss the Toys R Us store, I think thats on 42nd. St. Just don't forget to bring your savings account with you, because if your going to shop on 5th Ave. your going to need it.

The big store on 5th Avenue at 55th street has been (semi-permanently) closed for a few months. It is no longer part of "The Disney Store" chain but is a "World of Disney" store under the control of the Parks. It is currently under redesign/rebuild and is scheduled to open some time in October.

so the one on 5th is closed i am confused.
is there on one 5th and 55 and another on 5th and 57 or are they one in the same.

other words are the disney stores in new york city all closed right now

thanks jen
i just dont want to be hunting for something i wont find

I think the only one is the big 5th Ave store, which they were going to close permanently, and then they decided to redo. I think it is being worked on right now. I don't know if the one near the Empire State Building is open or if they closed that down. I haven't been to the city in a while. You can look up the phone numbers and call and see if they answer. Or check with your local disney store, maybe they would know.

As a displaced Disney Store Cast member I can tell you that all New york City Disney Stores have closed. The flagship on 55th street closed in May and will reopen as World of Disney New York City in October.

The first new York City store to close was harlem in early January. The stores at ABC studios and 42nd also closed the end of January.

The only Disney Store in the new york City vicinity is the one at the Staten island mall.

It would be fun to check out ESPN zone on 42nd and to check out Beaty and the Beast, Aida, or the Lion King if you can get tickets.

There's a Disney Store right across the river in Jersey City, New Jersey. It's located in the Newport Mall which is about a 5 mins walk from the Newport station in the PATH (a "subway" from NYC to certain stops in NJ up through Newark). I've gotten some good stuff there in the past although it's a little small. But it's probably the closest one/ easiest one to get to from NYC.

Let me know if you need directions. I used to live by there.

I think the one on 5th is still being renovated till the fall. I went to the one in Jersey recently and they had very little
