Walt Disney World & Disney Store Bring Disney Magic to San Juan, Puerto Rico With Fun-Filled Family Events Oct. 7-8, 2011

Sunday, October 9, 2011 Chip No comments

Disney Store and Walt Disney World Resort® will begin making magical memories at Plaza Las Americas in San Juan, Puerto Rico with two great fun-filled family events. Beginning Friday Oct. 7, 2011, Disney will celebrate the final stop of the hugely popular Disney Parks’ “Let the Memories Begin” US Tour and kick-off the grand opening of Disney Store’s brand new innovative store that promises to deliver “the best 30 minutes of a child’s day.” World renowned Puerto Rican boxer Tito Trinadad and his family will help “unlock imagination” at the opening ceremony of the Disney Store. Families will walk into an interactive photo experience in the mall’s center court, and to make the occasion even more memorable they will be able to hug and take photos with beloved Disney characters on Oct. 7 & 8 (12 p.m. to 7 p.m.).

Walt Disney World invites Puerto Rico families to “Let the Memories Begin” with picture-perfect moments in the interactive photo booth. The tour consists of a virtual photo experience for the entire family that magically transports guests to the most iconic Walt Disney World landmarks using photography. Picture yourself and your family in front of an iconic Disney setting such as Cinderella Castle, the centerpiece of Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort nearly 1200 miles away. Before Puerto Ricans actually head to Florida to make magical vacation memories, they’ll discover themselves in photos that make it look as though they are basking in Magic Kingdom fun! Guests can visit www.LettheMemoriesBeginTour.com now to learn more about “Let the Memories Begin” celebration and to upload and create a virtual in-park Disney photo memory.

Disney Store unveiled its award winning concept store in 2010, and continues to open the unique family shopping destination in major cities worldwide. Now families in Puerto Rico will be able to enjoy a touch of Disney magic every day in the 4,500 square-foot store. The all-new Disney Store features immersive Disney-themed experiences incorporating state-of-the-art technology. While visiting Disney Store, guests will encounter a Disney Princess castle with magic mirror, translucent magical trees showcasing Disney animation, and a Disney●Pixar CARS-branded neighborhood. Families following the glittering blue Pixie path throughout the store will be led to the Disney Store Theatre where they can select from a variety of Disney entertainment including film clips, music videos, and classic animation, and view it on a 12-foot long curved high definition screen. The custom skyline bordering the store features iconic Disney moments and Puerto Rico landmarks including the Casa De Espana Fountain, Fort San Felipe del Morro (“El Morro”), the Hotel El Convento and Paseo La Princesa.

All the fun kicks off Friday, Oct. 7 at 11 a.m. with the Disney Store grand opening celebration at Plaza de Las Americas, 525 Ave Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

With each new store opening in the United States and Canada in 2011, Disney Store will donate 10 percent of the first day’s sales to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Disney Store Offers Top Costume Choices for Halloween

Sunday, October 2, 2011 Chip 5 Comments

Adults and kids won’t have to wish upon a star to find this year’s hottest Halloween costumes when they head to their local Disney Store or shop at DisneyStore.com. According to the National Retail Federation’s yearly top costume survey, Disney Store has the most popular styles, including princesses, Spider-Man and pirate costumes. Also a top choice for celebrities and their kids in 2011, Disney Store costumes have been spotted on the kids of Molly Ringwald, from the ABC Family show The Secret Life of the American Teenager; Joey Lawrence of ABC Family’s Melissa & Joey; actress Candace Cameron; actress Salma Hayek; and award-winning singer Christina Aguilera, but every kid will feel special when dressed in a high-quality, stylish Disney Store costume for Halloween.

“When it comes to costumes, princess costumes have been the favorite among girls for years,” said National Retail Federation President and CEO Matthew Shay. “From bright and colorful princess and fairy options to traditional favorites like pirates and superheroes, Halloween lets kids of all ages take part in the fun and festivity of the holiday.”

New this year, the elaborate Limited Edition Rapunzel role play costume will bring sweet smiles to the faces of the 2,000 girls who are lucky enough to get one of these authentic designs. Boys will live out adventures dressed as favorite superheroes such as Spider-Man and Captain America or the fearless pirate Jack Sparrow and space captain Buzz Lightyear.

“We are so proud to be a top choice for Halloween year after year,” said Molly Adams, senior vice president of Disney Store North America. “At Disney Store we pride ourselves on making costumes that are created to last and made with the highest quality materials to provide endless years of role playing.”

At a recent event in the Santa Monica Place Disney Store, celebrities and their kids shopped for their favorite Disney costumes to get ready for a fun Halloween day.

Girls Costumes

On October 2, 2011, Disney will officially welcome Rapunzel as the 10th Disney Princess character at a high profile, star-studded celebration at Kensington Palace in London, UK. Little princesses from across the globe will watch Rapunzel be welcomed into the Disney Princess royal court by Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Snow White and Tiana.

To mark the occasion, Disney Store is celebrating Disney Princess by offering all 10 princess costumes and unique accessories inspired by their iconic gowns and dresses. Each Disney Princess character has a unique story that empowers girls to imagine and live their very own fairy tales, and each girl can find her favorite princess costume at Disney Store this Halloween.

Like Rapunzel in Tangled, your little princess can live her dreams while wearing the new Limited Edition Rapunzel Role Play costume. This dress mirrors Rapunzel’s dress in Tangled and is marked by rich violet colors, delicate flower trim and a shimmering skirt to help girls get ready for an adventure. To complete this look, girls can add the accompanying 3-foot-long wig and crown (sold separately).

Girls will also get excited over the new Cinderella Wedding role play dress. The details on this sparkling dress will impress any princess and make her feel ready to meet her prince charming.

In addition to princess costumes, girls can also select Jessie from Toy Story or the always classic Minnie Mouse.

Boys Costumes

This year, villains don’t stand a chance with Disney Store’s Halloween 2011 line up for boys that will transform boys into crime fighting superheroes, adventurous cowboys and more. Boys will be ready for action in the Captain America, Cars 2, Jack Sparrow and Spider-Man role play costumes. They can also go to infinity and beyond with the Woody and the light-up Buzz Lightyear costumes.

Toddlers and Infants

Toddlers and infants can join in the Halloween fun with Disney Store’s adorable selection of role play costumes. Toddler boys can become everyone’s favorite mouseketeer Mickey Mouse, while little girls can sparkle in the pink and white polka dot Minnie Mouse role play costume.

Infants will look sweet wearing the beautiful Belle or Rapunzel role play costumes that come with a beautiful organza skirt and delicate satin trim. Little boys can be extra cute dressed as the king of the jungle Simba.

Parents looking for a comfy costume for their little ones will love the Disney Store bodysuit set available in Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Jessie from Toy Story, Tigger, Winnie the Pooh and Woody styles. Each set comes with an adorable bodysuit and matching hat to comfortably transform infants into classic Disney characters.

Adult Costumes

DisneyStore.com has fun costumes for adults that easily allow parents to coordinate with their kids for a complete family look. Women can dress up as Maleficent, Minnie Mouse, Rapunzel or Snow White. Guys will be the life of the party dressed as the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow or Mickey Mouse. All these costumes and more can be found on DisneyStore.com.

2011 Disney Halloween Costumes at the Disney Store

Saturday, September 10, 2011 Debra No comments

I hate to admit it, but now that Labor Day Weekend has started and schools are settling into their schedules, it’s time to think of Halloween. That means Halloween costumes for kids (not to mention those of us who are kids at heart). And what better type of costume for your average Disney-loving kid than Disney Halloween costumes?

The Disney Store knew what we were thinking and has been planning ahead for the holiday. At the recent D23 Expo, the Disney Store allotted a fair amount of its square footage to displaying this year’s anticipated hot Halloween costumes for kids.

Of course, the floor was filled with plenty of items for the Disney princesses. This year will feature many of the classics: Snow White, Cinderella, Belle from “Beauty and the Beast,” Jasmine from “Aladdin.” There was even an Ariel costume inspired by “The Little Mermaid” in color and overall design. (But there is no tail, which will make trick-or-treating, or active costume play, easier.)

The projected hot seller for a single costume? Just like with last year, the Rapunzel dress inspired by “Tangled.” A Disney Store representative told me that this costume will ship out in a limited production run, so if you know a princess who wants to be dressed in purple, be sure to buy the Rapunzel outfit early in the holiday season.

Speaking of outfits, the Disney Halloween costumes themselves are just part of the package. The Disney Store is selling accessories that match the costumes: from jewelry and tiaras to shoes and hair pieces. There are even fairy wings for those who have Tinker Bell flights of fancy – or to go with the matching costume.

But boys need not feel left of the Halloween fun.

The Buzz and Woody costumes are back this season, marking the continued popularity of the “Toy Story” movies. Your young man doesn’t want to be a Space Ranger? How about a Jack Sparrow pirate in the scallywag spirit of the “Pirates of the Caribbean”? Or how about a Lightning McQueen road crew member for Pixar’s “Cars 2”? All are options for this year’s Halloween, as are a couple of costumes from the Marvel Universe: Spider-ManSand Captain America.

Of course, this isn’t the full list of Halloween costumes for kids, which include some options for infants and toddlers to tweens. And there’s even a couple of adults, too.

Overwhelmed by choices? There’s always a classic Mickey Mouse or Mickey Mouse inspired costume, featuring those iconic ears. That’s one Disney Halloween costume that never goes out of style.

Disney Halloween costumes are available at both the Disney stores and the Disney Store online.
