World of Disney New York?

[debbiecarr98]

So am I understanding correctly that the World of Disney store is now closed, but another one opened or is opening in another location?
We are going to see Mary Poppins Friday and staying for 2 nites.
Thank you!!!

I am sad, this will be the first trip in forever that we wont go!

I'm glad to hear they're opening another one! We were there in December and took advantage of some GREAT deals (75% off) and merchandise I haven't seen anywhere else. I'll keep watch now for when they open.

Why would they not hit that date? Its only February now.

I would love for them to be finished early... like for the 4th of July! We are visiting NYC then and will be sad to miss it.

The store opening is not another "World of Disney". It is a Disney Store, similar to mall Disney Stores. The difference is that the WOD carried Disneyworld merchandise, as it was technically part of Disneyworld.

We just walked by it last week and they are hard at work inside so Fall 2010 is possible. They are putting it in times square in part of the building where the Virgin Megastore had been.

debbie -- I live a couple hours north of NYC and go down occasionally to see a play. How was Mary Poppins? I've been debating between Mary and Billy Elliot and can't decide. I have the Disney Visa which makes for a very nice discount on Mary tkts, but that still hasn't been a deciding factor for me. Was it over the top fantastic?

We've been by the new site a few times since my February post and the worker bees are busy, busy, busy there! Hope they do open in the fall - I'm sure they are aiming for before the profitable holiday season!

From what I understand, this is supposed to be a truly *new* kind of flagship store, not at all like what their typical Disney mall stores are like. Lots of interactive, flashy displays, etc. - it IS Times Square, after all! We'll all have to wait and see...

Hi! I really, really loved it! I have, however heard great things about Billy Elliot too. Are you going with kids? I got the buy one get one free tickets, so for four of us it was 150.00 or so, great deal! I highly recommend Mary Poppins! Whichever you choose, though, I am sure you wil have a great time! Keep me posted on what you decide. We really had a fun weekend in NY.

They're both wonderful!

I'm trying to score a good deal for MP- already have my BE tix for our next trip at the end of June.

Keep your fingers crossed for us!
