Made a pilgrimage to the last original #DisneyStore in our area before its closing. Got to see Heather who I helped hire when this store opened and Shawn who I connected more recently on social. Sad to see these style of stores go. 🥺

Sadly, as of next week, the Disney Stores as we have known growing up will be no more. I believe just over a dozen Disney Outlets and the NYC Store will remain open for a while but are rumored to close next year.

Would you be okay with more Disneyland attractions being sponsored (aka. It’s a Small World presented by Travelocity) if you knew the ride would be in tip top shape? Or do you think it should be in its best shape because that’s just what Disney standards should be?
