Hey Aveen

Yes we have been closed for over a week now so that we can move to new store.
It opens at 11am on Wednesday and yes there should be an opp to meet and greet mickey and minnie - there will prob be a queuing system.
Was in the store on saturday and i have to say i was amazed by it- the store is the closest thing to going to a park in my opinion. the layout - is fantastic and the art work and use of projections is fab. :thumbs:
There are also 9 hidden mickeys throughout the store- i have managed to find one soo far

Hey,

I went this afternoon so unfortunately missed minnie and mickey opening the store as I wasn't feeling great this morning. The new store layout is brilliant, the store itself looks much bigger than the old one and you feel like your in a disney park store! I wasn't expecting it to be that good really as I had seen the videos on youtube if the other new stores, and although the belfast one is pretty similar its still great! It was super busy today though...seen magic_823 aka nadine behind the counter working away lol

You would never think it was the same shop. There is more merchandise too...its great
Theres a screen at the back and someone teaching children how to draw mickey, the magic mirror were cast members get to show little girls a princess in the mirror- not sure if the princess is supposed to be which princess they are most like or something lol.

sorry I didnt take a camera but i would have felt silly anyway as the store was packed!

It gets a thumbs up from me :thumbs:

bigrossco · August 21, 2010, 11:27:12 AM

At last I got to go into the new look disney store, and I LOVED IT!

I didn't want to leave, I felt like I was in Disney land and was so disappointed when I left and found out I was just on the Belfast main street

Do you have any pictures of the new store? You are so lucky to have a Disney Store. Here in Austria we don't have one, even in Vienna is no Disney Store.
