There’s a little bit for everyone and a place to stay that’s within the envelope of Disney… Read More »Could Walt Disney World work as a local’s park?

As a Disney aficionado and frequent visitor to the parks, I jumped at the chance to experience the grand opening of the freshly redesigned Disney Store at my local mall.
Over 80 years ago, Roosevelt Field was the site of an airfield where Charles Lindbergh took off in the Spirit of St. Louis for his historic transatlantic flight to Paris. Today, the area is home to the eighth largest shopping mall in the country and the first Disney Store on the East Coast to undergo this magical makeover.
Disney Store North America General Manager Molly Adams
Our day started with a tour of the store led by Molly Adams, Vice President and General Manager of Disney Store North America. She showed us around the 4,500 square foot facility and reminded us that it’s “not just another place to buy Disney products; it’s really about being immersed in the Disney experience and feeling the magic.” This became apparent as she led us down a trail of pixie dust, one of the signature icons of the new stores.

Congratulations, you made it to Wednesday. Here’s are a couple funny videos to get you over the hump and moving toward the weekend.
The Incredible Deflating President Lincoln
I don’t know about you, but that had me laughing for a good five minutes. Alas, that was an older model Audio-Animatronic, so don’t expect to see him malfunction in exactly that same way in the future.
