Disney Store history and merchandiseA little intro to the Disney stores....
The Disney Stores were originally just what the name says: stores owned by the Disney company. There was a hey-day of store building, but when all the fury had died down, the Disney company decided that mall stores just weren't profitable enough for them.Therefore, the USA Disney Stores were contracted by The Children's Place stores....yes, that very popular chain of kid's clothing stores where you've surely shopped before (if you have kids.) The Children's Store operated the Disney Stores for several years under what was supposed to be a long-term contract. With the company's expertise in running mall-based stores, this was supposed to have been a workable solution to keeping the public supplied with the Disney products we want in a profitable manner. Well, as of mid-2008, the Children's Place stores announced that they had failed. The Disney Stores are in the process of being handed back over to Disney. In the fallout, a number of Disney Stores in the USA are going to be closed this year; indeed, some have shut their doors already. This is a sad turn of events...but at least quite a few Disney Stores do remain in business. FYI: Asian Disney Stores are run by Asian companies. European Disney Stores are actually still run by the Disney Company. WORLD OF DISNEY STORES: Besides the mall-based Disney stores, visitors to Disneyland Park will see a World of Disney store when strolling through the Downtown Disney District. The Disney Company DOES, however, run this small chain of stores. The original World of Disney store is at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The newest World of Disney store recently opened in New York City. And in between, came the Anaheim, California World of Disney store, which opened with the Disney California Adventure Theme Park and Downtown Disney District in 2001. The delightful World of Disney store at Downtown Disney Anaheim is advertised by the Disneyland Resort as being the largest collection of Disney merchandise in the entire western USA! And, it offers consumers an entirely different style of products than the mall-based Disney Stores do. So, if you're a big fan of Disney merchandise, you could browse at both stores in one day and not get bored! If you'd like to get further information about the World of Disney store at the Disneyland Resort, please head to the Downtown Disney Anaheim page of this website. Merchandise you'll find at the Disney Stores
In the photo to your left, you can see a cute Lady and the Tramp snow globe that I bought at a Disney Store. Snow globes are a Disney Store specialty. They ALWAYS carry a selection of them. They're always simply beautiful, too! Naturally, as with all the merchandise at the Disney Stores, the stock is rotated regularly...so if you see the "perfect snowglobe," you should buy it soon!
Stuffed animals are another specialty at the Disney Stores. There's always plenty in hand...of all sizes from "key chain buddy" to large room-decorations. It's always amazing to see the many ways that the Disney Store designers can think of to "change up" the way a few basic Disney Character plush animals look! They can come in bold or in muted colors; in differing fabrics; carrying items associated with a particular season or holiday; or even wearing a costume! Disney Stores always carry some type of clothing for the entire family, but the selection is greatest for girls, women, and small boys. Keep the actual size of your child or grandchild in mind when making a purchase; Disney Store clothing can sometimes run quite large. In my case, I was still buying my granddaughter Disney Stores in a size 2-3 when she was age 4. Aside from sleepwear, there are always plenty of T-Shirts at a Disney store. For girls, there will be some dresses and pants sets....and also pants sets for little boys. You'll be able to find a small selection of infant clothing, as well. Toys take up a good deal of space at a Disney Store. Toys themed to the latest Disney movie releases are seen at the stores during the time the movie is most popular; the movie merchandise dwindles off...until a new movie is released and the cycle begins again! Certain toy themes endure month after month. For girls, the Disney Princesses are ALWAYS represented in the toy and clothing selections. And, for boys, Buzz Lightyear, Stitch, Mr. Incredible and Power Rangers are generally always available in one style or another. Are you a collector of Disney Memorabilia? You'll find a selection of higher priced Disneyana aimed at the True Collector. These displays feature more expensive items, and so they're not kept near the front of the store where people could walk of with them easily. Head towards the rear of the store; you'll often find the collectibles in a spot where they can't even be seen from the main entrance. Last, but not least, you may wish to head to a Disney Store if you want to buy theme park tickets. You'll be able to avoid the long lines at the theme parks. Ha--on a busy day at a Disney Store, you just may find yourself standing in a long line, anyway! Another "down" side to buying your tickets at a Disney Store is that if you lose them before you get to Disneyland Park, you're just plain out of luck. On the other hand, I've bought tickets this way...and since I didn't stand in a long line at the store where I made the purchase, it did turn out to be a real time-saver.

Disney Character Warehouse Stores are a great place to buy discounted Disney merchandise. The Children's Place runs "regular" Disney stores and Disney Store outlets, and its merchandise is made specifically FOR the Disney Stores. Yes, it's "officially licensed" clothing, toys, DVDs, etc...but it was never actually sold at Disneyland nor any other Disney theme park.On the other hand, Disney Character Warehouse stores sell merchandise which was once sold at the theme parks. Though sometimes the Character Warehouse stores sell items which are simply "overstocked" at Disneyland or the other Disney parks, USUALLY an item makes it into the Disney Character Warehouses only after it's no longer being sold at Disneyland. The Disney theme parks rotate their merchandise with every single season. Disneyland has many season pass holders who get in "free" with every use of their "Disneyland Passport" card. So how does Disney make money off of these regular guests? By always having new merchandise to sell them! Disney Character Warehouses sell quite a variety of goods...from T-shirts and other clothing to souvenirs of all kinds. One good deal I captured was some Disneyland 50th Anniversary "golden" ornaments which I had forgotten to buy during the celebration. Once Disneyland 50th Anniversary was over, out went the merchandise from the theme parks...and right INTO the Disney Character Warehouse stores! The Disney Character Warehouse location not far from Disneyland...that you won't want to miss visiting...is in Fullerton, California. The Fullerton Disney Character Warehouse phone number is 714-870-9363. The Fullerton Disney Character Warehouse address is 243 Orangefair Mall, Fullerton, CA 92832. This is at the Orangefair Marketplace shopping center in Fullerton. (Despite the store's address, it is actually on the Lemon Street side of the shopping center.) Directions: From the 91 Freeway, take the Harbor Blvd exit and head north one block to the shopping center's entrance drive. It will be on the right hand side of the street as you head north. This location is also near a popular AMC Theater...where you might even catch the latest Disney movie that's playing! Pomona Disney Character Warehouse: There is a 2nd SoCal location of the Disney Character Warehouse stores. The Pomona Disney Character Warehouse address is 2780 Reservoir Street, Pomona, CA 91766. The Pomona Character Warehouse phone number is 909-590-1109. Here's a Google map to the Pomona Disney Character Warehouse location. In addition to the company's permanent stores in California, there is another Disney Warehouse Store in Las Vegas, Nevada. Please head to the "Southwest USA Disney Stores" page of the www.HaveFunInTheSouthwest.com website for details about that location. Disney's Character Warehouse also operates TEMPORARY locations throughout all of California and other Southwestern USA states to give people who don't live near Disneyland a chance to buy this popular merchandise. To find out if there's a temporary location near you, then use the following link to access the
Disney Character Warehouse official web page.
You'll find out the starting and ending dates of temporary Disney stores currently "up & running," and a list of those stores which have recently closed.
