| Our Disney Store is closing! We found out this week that our local DS is closing on March 22nd. We were told by the CM that they were on the list of the smaller DS that are scheduled to close. Apparently, the larger stores will be the only ones to remain open. You might want to check with your local store to see if they are on the list to remain open. I'll miss popping in to get that touch of Disney when I need it. Lynda |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] I'm so sorry to hear that! We'll have to start a support group for you and your withdrawal...oh yeah, we already did...passporter! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] When we lived in Upstate NY, the closest Dstore was 2 1/2 hours away. It drove me crazy! Any time we would wander away from home, DH knew where I'd be stopping. The UPS man and mailman were so busy with Dpackages that they actually said their loads would be lighter when they found out we were moving! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] We have many Dstores here in Pittsburgh, atleast 4. Wonder if any of them are on the list?!        |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! So sorry, Lynda!! [img]graemlins/cry2.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Don't worry, we don't have a DS within 100 miles of us, and its not so bad. Its really a treat to go to the DS for us, like a mini vacation! You'll be fine. SOOO jealous, Diz!! |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! I know it's unbelievable! I went from none to four in just one move! Now if one store doesn't have what I want, I just drive to another! It's wonderful! (No I'm not bragging! I'm just so happy!) But it is amazing because with the four I go to, you can walk in on the same day (which I've done many times) and each of them have a different sale! Their promos are rarely the same. Right now one is offering $15 gift card with $65 purchase while another is offering a stuffed Marie animal and not the gift card. Needless to say, I made my purchases at the one with the $15 gc. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] And we won't even go into the CMs attitudes! I know when and where not to shop at certain times of the day because they are very rude! It is nice having a choice. |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! Sorry to hear about the DS closures. I hope they don't do that here! I understand from CM's that in the UK (I'm not sure if it's in the same in the States) that the only time the DS makes money is in the two months leading up to Christmas and that sustains them for the rest of the year. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] We just got our latest fix last night! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Cheryl    |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! So sorry to hear your DS is closing. There is not a DS within 100 miles of me. I haven't been to a DS since WDW. Before that it was 1995 in NYC. I don't think it's fair that some places have 2 or more stores within a few miles of each other and others of us don't have one for 100 miles. I e-mailed DS last year. Asked them to put a store in where I shop. I know it would get business because that shopping area draws people from all over. I don't Disney was interested. [img]graemlins/cry2.gif[/img] |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! Sorry to hear that Lynda. [img]graemlins/cry2.gif[/img] Mine is only 10 minutes away so I go there when I need a fix (along with these Boards! [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] ) I have noticed big changes so I hope they don't close ours too being that we are in Canada. |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! Lynda, I know your pain. Our DS closed three years ago and I am still not over it. My younger sister lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area where there are many stores and she doesn't even appreciate them. NOT FAIR!!! [img]graemlins/cry2.gif[/img] |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! I hope neither of our 2 DS are on the "to be closed" list [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] . Or the one where my Mom lives. The DS where my son lives in KY closed last year, and his DMIL didn't know about it until this past Christmas. The advantage for me is that now I can buy stuff for my grandson that his Mom and Dad (not to mention "Nana") don't even know about (I have an "Aloha Stitch" for him for next year) [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] .   |

| Re: Our Disney Store is closing! Ours is pretty small, too, I hope it doesn't close--we stop in there just about everytime we go to the mall. DBF surprised me a Mickey birthstone necklace on our last evening at WDW. I wanted to pick up a pair of matching earrings when we got back home, but the CM told me they discontinued adult jewelry in all the branches, that Disney decided that it only sold well on-property. Can this be true???? |
