2023 Update: Like most locations, this Disney store has now closed it’s doors. If you’re shopping in Las Vegas, you can still find a Disney outlet store at the Las Vegas North Premium Outlets at 875 S Grand Central Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89106
We love shopping at the Disney Store- but I mean, of course we do! It’s one store filled with all of our favorite characters. They have cute little figurines for Shane to act out his favorite shows & movies, and for grown ups they have cute attire, coffee mugs, and collector’s items.
We have had a Disney Store in town for as long as I can remember, but I kept hearing about all the new & made-over Disney Stores all over the country & wanted one so bad! Well, Las Vegas finally got one- and instead of just redoing the old store with it, they put in a brand new store in a different {much better} mall and the new store is much bigger! That combined with the amazing features that all of the newly renovated Disney Stores have makes this new Disney Store a truly magical place! We got to check it out first hand as media &we had fun checking out all of the new features.
Features include:
-Pixie Dust Trail
As you enter the newly designed Disney Store, the story begins with one of Disney Store’s signature attractions, the Pixie Dust Trail. The Pixie Dust Trail is purposefully colored blue to indicate that there is something magical about to happen along the path. Storytelling neighborhoods are on either side of the Pixie path tempting you off your journey.
-Disney Princess Neighborhood & Disney Princess Castle with Magic Mirror
The Disney Princess neighborhood is home of all the Disney Princess characters, and anchored by the iconic Disney Princess Caste with Magic Mirror. Once a child enters the castle, she encounters the magic mirror and with the wave of a wand, the princess will appear in the mirror allowing the child to become a part of the story. All the favorite princesses—Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Tiana each tell their stories through short film clips when they are brought to life by little princesses in the store. All the princess voices were recorded exclusively for the Disney Store magic mirror, and many were recorded by the original voice talent from the films.
-Magical Trees
Disney Store’s signature magical trees not only give our Store a unique identity, they help create the mood of the Store and play a role in the storytelling. The magical trees will change with the four seasons, play a part in a one of our celebrations with fireworks in the trees or simply show the franchise focus. During the summer, the trees come to life with fresh green leaves to reflect the season whereas in the autumn, they will turn a rich orange and red, and the leaves will start to fall. Guests will watch as some of Disney’s favorite characters make appearances in the trees – look out for Tinker Bell or Buzz Lightyear and Woody-themed trees celebrating Toy Story, and hidden Mickeys have also been subtly inserted into the animation that appears on the trees.
-Custom Skyline
Each newly designed Disney Store has a custom skyline which incorporates Disney storytelling moments and iconic elements. The custom skyline lines the perimeter of the Store above the product, and adds another ambient effect to the design. The skyline’s light and color changes can be timed to coincide with the ―magical trees, the different times of day and also some of our ceremonial rituals. Disney Store’s silhouetted skyline helps give the Store depth and the illusion that you are at the center of a much bigger magical Disney world. The Skyline includes landmarks from around the world that have been featured in Disney films, such as Big Ben (Peter Pan) and the Notre Dame (Hunchback of Notre Dame) and also features some favorite, including Dumbo, Wall-E and Eve, Peter Pan, and look out for Mickey Mouse-shaped balloons.
-Disney Store Theatre
Continuing down to the end of the Pixie Dust Trail, guests will finally arrive at the ultimate payoff for their Disney Store journey, as they encounter the Disney Store Theatre. Disney Store Theatre is like a giant video library containing Disney film trailers, film clips, music videos, classic animation and more. Guests can choose from over 50 clips which can then be watched on a 12-foot long curved screen. New content will be uploaded on a regular basis to keep the experience options fresh and new every time a child enters. The Disney Store Theatre is much more than just for viewing video content, it also acts as a ―community center,‖ and will be the place where Disney Store hosts family activities and events such as Disney character drawing workshops, storytelling experiences, trivia events, and more. New activities will continually be added to the calendar to bring families back to the store over and over again.
In addition to the fun features, the Disney Store has a magical opening every single day. They call it the “Unlock Imagination” ceremony & the day of the Grand Opening they had a child from the Boys & Girls Club perform the ritual. Every day, one lucky child is chosen to use an oversized lock & key {they get to bring home a replica key to remember their special day by} to officially unlock the store.
The new Disney Store has a lot of fun merchandise, too! Luckily Shane had some birthday money left over because we definitely couldn’t leave empty-handed!
While it was unbelievably {and not surprisingly} crowded on that first day {the first 500 shoppers all received special Disney Store branded Mickey ears & had the privilege of being some of the first shoppers in the store}, we still got a good idea of how special this store is. Shane has already been asking to go back so it may be something we do on one of his no-school days.
Note: I received the gift bag as well and was allowed entry into the Grand Opening celebration to cover the event as media. All opinions are my own.
