Argh, I knew they hadn't really added me to their subscription list. Sigh.

I'd rather to go Portland than Burlington, so it looks like we'll be taking a little trip soon!

Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware one had opened in the area but I'll be making a trip soon. Maybe even later this week since it's Spring break.

The stores are basically a roving warehouse of Disney stuff, and you can sometimes get really good prices, and sometimes find things that are still being sold (at full price) at Disneyland. Site.

A month or so ago I tried, again, to subscribe to their list to find out about upcoming stores (and be sent a 10% discount coupon), and again could not do it, just got an error. Finally just emailed them and they supposedly manually signed me up, but...nothing. Maybe they just don't know that WA and OR aren't that far apart.

The only time I went to one of the stores I didn't realize what it was or what a fan I was becoming, and didn't buy anything.

If anyone has been there yet, let us know about it!!!

[RuthieT]

I didnt make it last night... I probably wont now until Friday afternoon.

 

[noryglory]

Oh boy!! I can't wait to hear. I'm about 20 minutes away yee hah! Great stocking up before our trip. Maybe we can "pre-buy" our souvenirs!!

PS I'm curious to hear about pajama selection in particular. Thanks anyone who goes and reports before I get there!

 

[dhlovesbelle]

I am an hour away from Portland, and honestly only get up there when family flies in My MIL comes in in May and I was going to go early to visit Ikea, but now I believe I will visit the Lloyd Center instead
I am excited! Thanks for sharing the info!!!

 

[Mommy2PrincessAbby]

I'm baacckkkk...

Went at lunch... got dd a Cinderella dress (very pretty) was $55, got it for $21. (they also have snow white!)... and a princess bucket hat for $4.98. They hadn't put the sign up for it yet, I guess it was supposed to be $12.99.

They have more tees than you can imagine... some great hoodies and sweatshirts. Lots of princess and Tink stuff... lots of Minnie and Mickey too. Mostly adults or teenie weenie kiddos (sub 24 months.)

I did see jammies, both silky shorter stuff for little girls, and a purple long sleeve tink set that I liked.

Flip flops ($1.99 I think), pirates figurine toys, some stuffed animals... some really old clothes/hats with 2006 on them. Lots of 50th stuff... some autograph books, but they are all cellophaned, and I wanted to see inside them, before I bought one.

Hmmm... there was more, if there was anything you were specifically looking for, ask me, and maybe it'll jog my memory!

[RuthieT]

do they have alot of the princess dresses??? I am hoping there is some left come friday afternoon.

 

[Mommy2PrincessAbby]

They have a ton of Cinderella and Snow White... no others... size 4/5 and up...

Hi Lisa, was the selection of adult-size t-shirts pretty good? Did you happen to see what sizes they had available? Did they have any pins? Thanks!!

 

[Mommy2PrincessAbby]

So many shirts in adult sizes... all kinds of characters... I saw lots of smalls and mediums... and quite a few larges... but not in any I liked a lot... myissue is they are all that super thin new t material, and not the thicker kind I like. Old Navy did that to me too... their "perfect tee" was really perfect, but now it is paper thin.
