looks like a fantastic disney store. we had a 2 floor store in bristol up untill about 5 years ago but it closed down. there is still one in bristol but its difficult for me to get to as no busses go out that way. but i could always make a special trip to cardiff, its only a while away on the train!  :D/

Its in the centre of the queens arcade and the 2nd level :), if that makes any sence. I wonder if they will update the store by moving it to the new st davids 2 next year ?

By the way you maybe suprized but sevral of the animatronics still WORK !  :shock:  :lol:

Wow I even see Le Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormont, why can no other Disney store be like that, it looks so old, yet looked after.  Even visiting Oxford Street store in London yesterday it looks so rubbish and confused at what the store interior wants to be compared to that Cardiff store.  Now how to get to Cardiff :lol: .

This tv seemed to just advertise Disney Channel.
It use to play DISNEY MOVIES ! :shock:
And advertise WDW and DLRP.

There use to be a huge semi cirle stand attached to the wall under the T.V (The t.v use to be a bit smaller and higher up) with hundreds of disney teddys ! All the soft toys of every disney character would be there for you to choose. Big ones at the top and small ones at the bottom. Sad really that it went :(

The Newcastle one used to have this too, I feel it was much better than stuffing them in shelves. Partularily glass shelves. I picked up Clubhouse Mickey the other month and it kept sliding off the shelf when i put it back.  So I bought it!
