Its open. They did a DVC member preview this morning. Very cute stuff...many will enjoy it.
I just got back from the store opening...quite by accident. The DVC preview must have been before the grand opening. I ran downtown Disney to get some Magic Bands for an upcoming trip with my nieces and nephews and had to walk past. They had queues up and a fair amount of people in it. When I finished with my purchases the woman in the pin shop told me it opens at 10:45 so I went over and they had opened up the side areas for guests to wait as well. About 10:30 Isabella (the fashionista of Downtown Disney) came out and did an introduction and then the Ambassador of DTD and a VP? I think talked briefly and then Mickey and he cut the ribbon with cannons shooting out thousands of the oversized Mickey icons...that may have been the most exciting part for me. I stayed outside and collected a bunch of those while the others entered the store. I did go in and bought some things in the Centerpiece room. There was a huge line for the Vera Bradley and people at the registers in front of me were buying large amounts (my guess would be to resell) as one of them was a teen boy at one register and his mom with a stack at the other. I would maybe like one but it's not critical to me. The store was filled with CMs, suits, etc. The Trophy room has generic sports tshirts and Disney themed ones but I didn't see any ESPN stuff. The Zoey and Pickles looked like to be the TrendD for the younger set. I loved the Centerpiece area and wished there was more there. The TechD I just glanced through and if that is your thing I am sure you would like it. Then there was a Beautifully Yours (or something like that) room with makeup etc that wasn't as busy but still nice. Liz
I just looked at it all and I am quite excited. I have a feeling I might go broke if I go into the Centerpiece store!![]()
It was closed when we were in DtD last night.
I never got any notice of a preview....might have goneNow no time to go back and we go home tomorrow
