“A Gigantic Disney Store – The World of Disney Store…is a must go for us. The updated open concept is nice and very organized. It makes finding things with young children a breeze. The lines were long to pay but very organized and efficient.” – Chris, Winnipeg.
“How to Choose? – What an array of goods! My daughter is 25 and she always says, ‘You can never have too much Disney’! The only problem is selecting what to purchase – there is such a huge range of Disney themed goods and they are organized and displayed well. The staff are very helpful despite being so busy in this huge store. I am in my 60’s but I loved the buzz here.” Barrie, location undisclosed.
