Just found out... my Disney Store set to close!

So I just got back from the Disney Store at the WillowGrove Mall right outside of Phila. They have everything marked down 10-20% and did not have any Disney dollars. The sales person said they will be closign probably end of June-July. I told her I will be back definitely in a few weeks (before my trip!) to load up. I am very sad about this as it's the closest store to me. No more stopping by to "feel the magic" when I am homesick for Disney. I did get a few little things for my kiddies though at 20% off, so not all bad!

That stinks. At least the one in Montgomery Mall is still open. The Plymouth Meeting store closed a few years ago.

How sad. Yesterday, I found out there was a Disney Store in Altoona and got all excited, only to learn an hour later when I got there that yep it's closing too.

That's sad. The one by us is closing too. We picked up a few things for DD, but I'm really going to miss it--especially at Halloween. We started a tradition of going to pick out a costume.

The Disney Stores have never been the same to me since the other company took up ownership. But it's still nice to have it close by if I want a little taste of Disney. Luckily for me I can hop in my car and be at DTD and the World of Disney in about 45 minutes. A
"short" commute in L.A.

My DD checked a post somewhere to see if the Disney store was closing at the mall closest to us and it is. Now the closest store will be a couple of hours away. What a bummer.

I, too, found out that my Disney Store is closing! It was on the list to stay open but has since been slated to close! They are selling stuff fast and they are selling snowglobes at 57% off (not sure where that oddball # came from)! I have a huge Disney themed snowball collection! The girl there said that they may be closed within 2 wks...they haven't said the exact date tho! Luckily I live in the Dallas area and we still have a couple of stores staying open that are within a 20-30 min drive time. Thank goodness!

I was about to say the same thing! I couldn't believe the store is closing. The Valley View store and the Lewisville store is also closing. I drove up to the Frisco store and
so far that is the only one staying open.

I have no idea, but...last time I was at the Cherry Hill Mall, the Disney Store was still there. It's just right over the Ben Franklin Bridge!

Thanks RobDVC and MarriedLadyTara! Totally forgot about the one at Cherry Hill Mall (and didn't even know about the one at Mongomery). At least I still have two within close driving distance! Hopefully both of these will be staying open though.
