New Chicago Disney Store

[Glenn]

The Chicago Tribune is reporting today that the new "Experiential" Disney stores ( 1 of 6 in the US) opened in Chicago Tuesday. It is located downtown at Washington & State in Chicago. From the sounds of the article it seems to be centered on princesses & shoes. The stores include a number of interative stations, ex: "A sparkly blue pixie path leads princesses to a glistening castle surrounded by magic wands, tiaras and princess gowns( all for sale). Little visiters can choose a costume, step inside the castle & wave a want in front of the magic mirroe, summoning a princess for a chat". There is also a garage where you can build stars from "cars" with your choice of wheels and rims. They also mention a small theatre & daily activities such learn to draw workshops. The writer mentions that the store is 4,500 sq ft & everywhere you look is shoes, lol. Sounds like it will be a place you wont be able not to buy something if you bring your princes into. Thought folks would like to hear about the new store opening. Have fun.

Very interesting! I walk by that store on my way to work every morning and didn't realize it was any different than the other Disney store in the city. But, now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen anything that wasn't princess dresses and shoes when I look in the window.

Hmm.. Maybe I'll need to stop in on my way home tonight.
