NYC09: Disney Store

Disney Store
5th Avenue and 55th
New York City

Let your childhood dreams overtake you as you step inside the New York City Disney Store located on the shoppers paradise known as fifth avenue.

Plush Mickey Mouse's dressed as the state of liberty, and I [mickey head] NY t-shirts, shot glasses, and bags are abundantly offered for your consumer needs. Once you've tired of the first floor, head up the escalator and find yourself in a world of stuffed Pooh characters, and princesses, along with their fairy tale friends.

As you shop, be sure to look up and catch Goofy and his friends engaged in a number of different sports. But beware, as you look to the end of the store, as Snow White's Wicked Witch looms above, poisoned apple in hand. To the other end is a flat screen television playing whatever Disney DVD is popular at the moment.

A Disney Mr. Potato Head shop is set up, where shopped can pick their plastic potato, and fill it with pieces to recreate their favourite Disney character – including a very disturbing version of Ariel. For $19.99 you get a head, a box, and all the pieces you can stuff inside.

The third floor is for fine art collectors, and not to be missed. If canvas prints, and original art is something you'd like to add to your collection, they can all be found on the highest floor of New York City's Disney Store.
