As rumored late last year the boutique “Disney & Co.” on the Main Street, U.S.A. is currently undergoing a rehab. To allow continuing operation of the shop the rehab seems to have been separated into two sections. Currently the front half of the shop is closed off for its rehab. Therefore, the main entrance from the Main Street is closed. (more…)

Disney & Co front door closed
Wednesday, March 30th, 2011World of Disney Store rising
Sunday, March 27th, 2011Â 
Construction for the World of Disney Store at the Disney Village continues to move ahead and is clearly visible from just a couple of weeks ago. In the meantime the pre-fabricated concrete walls are reaching up to the second floor and the openings for doors and windows can already be spotted on the ground floor as well. The way it looks one smaller entrance should be placed right next to the Gaumont multiplex. However, the main entrance should face more directly to the wide paths between the parks to attract more guests when leaving the parks in the evening. (more…)
Discount Shopping
Thursday, March 24th, 2011
With the Shareholders’ Club and the Annual Passports (in particular the Annual Passport Dream) Disneyland Paris has two large public programs which offer their “members” a wide array of discounts in the resort. In particular many fans are a “member” of both programs, i.e. hold shares of EuroDisney S.C.A., signed up for the Shareholders’ Club and are also proud owners of an Annual Passport Dream. As a result it can be frequently seen how these are offering both the AP Dream and the Shareholders’ Club card to the cashier in the resort’s shops asking the cast members which one gives the better discount. This “problem” should become obsolete soon since new information signs were set up next to many cashiers across the resort at the end of the last year. These signs are providing an overview of available discount options (as seen on the right) – and as that sign shows the AP Dream offers the better discount (20%) on merchandise if compared to the Shareholders’ Club card (15%).
World of Disney – one up
Thursday, March 17th, 2011
The vertical construction of the future World of Disney Store at the Disney Village is making fast progress. At the end of February only the very first concrete walls for a part of the backwall were visible. But as of yesterday the exterior walls had exceeded the ground level and went up to the first floor on the backside (toward the Gaumont cinema complex), as well as on the sides facing toward the Walt Disney Studios and the side toward the main “road” of the Disney Village.
Solely the side facing toward the Fantasia Gardens / the Disneyland Hotel remains open. However, so far the vertical construction is limited to the exterior walls. The future interior of the shop is still wide open, missing any walls or other structures to support the upper floors.
The fences surrounding the site are still lacking any reference (or advertising) that the construction is for the upcoming World of Disney Story. Instead posters for the game arcade found next to the IMAX at the current “backside” of the Disney Village next to the Disney Village parking structure is advertised.
Construction at both ends
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011
From the construction at one end of the Disney Village (the future Earl of Sandwich restaurant facing toward Lake Disney) we are heading straight to the other end of the Disney Village to take a look at the construction for the building that will become the new “face” that shall attract regular day-time guests to head into the Village after a day in the parks. However, the construction in front of the huge Gaumont multiplex cinema structure has not yet as far progressed as the Earl of Sandwich… (more…)
No Organ at Disney & Co.?
Thursday, December 30th, 2010
When Disneyland Paris opened in 1992 the park featured three prominently placed organs – one at the railroad station on Main Street, U.S.A., one inside the Disney & Co. shop on Main Street, U.S.A. and finally the huge organ at the center of the Carousel de Lancelot. The latter was a historic organ that had been meticulously restored and played the music live that underscored the guests’ journey on the carousel. In the meantime the inner working mechanisms of the organ are gone and instead a prerecorded loop of organ music is used. And now more bad news is rumored for fans of organs at Disney theme parks… (more…)
Get Tangeled at Disneyland Paris
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
“Disney Tangled” – the 50th full length animated classic by the Walt Disney Studios – has made its big screen debut around Europe and as usual it has made its debut at Disneyland Paris as well. I.e. Rapunzel and Flynn are available for meet’n'greets at the Royal Castle Stage daily since the start of the Christmas season. Certainly the resort did also welcome the latest characters into the resort’s shops… (more…)
Just another brick… – or Tetris-Mickey?
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010
Someone out there who would not recognize the silhouette of Mickey head the second he sees it?
No one?
That’s what you believe!
But it looks like Disneyland Paris wants to give all Mickey-Fans a new challenge by releasing a new merchandising collection for the Mouse everything started with, with a kind of different silhouette.

Christmas Merchandise 2010
Monday, November 8th, 2010
With the official start of the Christmas season yesterday the Christmas merchandise can now be found in shops all over the resort and not just the dedicated Christmas Shops that have been set up in selected boutiques (as seen here at the Walt Disney Studios Store).
For the Christmas Season 2010 some of the most popular items from years past have been brought back. However, there is certainly also a wide selection of all new merchandise available… (more…)
Christmas has arrived
Sunday, August 29th, 2010
While the resort, the guests, fans and cast members are enjoying the officially last day of the summer season 2010Â which will end with the big bangs of the Enchanted Fireworks tonight, the next two seasons of the resort are already waiting in the wings: Halloween and Christmas. Or not so much in the wings but on stage already as far as merchandising is concerned…
