We really enjoyed the Disney Store Grand Opening of its newly designed store at the Chandler Fashion Center in Chandler, AZ. It is the first of its kind to open in Arizona with a unique and very interactive magical experience for kids and adults to enjoy. The store has been expertly designed to provide fun, excitement interactive and magical play. From the moment you enter the store, you will see it is unlike any other Disney store you have been to as there are various displays and exhibits that grab your attention as much as the products and merchandise.
As you walk into the store, you immediately notice the size of the store. It is huge … 4,228 square feet to be exact. Around the top of the store walls are wonderful interactive murals that come to life. Tinkerbell and other characters fly around the display and around the perimeter of the store through the murals which include a desert motif that uniquely represents Arizona and its environment. 
Then, you will see the ‘Cars’ Ridemakerz display to your right where your little one can build their own specially made favorite ‘Cars’ vehicle. They can choose the perfect accessories and parts they want to make it very special and uniquely their own.
Near the entrance on the left, you will see every little girl’s dream …. A Princess size Castle that your little princess can enter and explore. The magic castle even has a magical mirror your little princess can look into to see herself and her favorite Disney Princess. She must wave Disney’s special wands or tiaras in front of the mirror and make a magic wish and then her favorite princess will appear. It is truly an exciting moment every princess must experience. Moreover, there are 12 foot digital trees that have leaves that change colors and pictures depending on the season. Sometimes Disney characters ‘inhabit’ the tree and at the beginning of the tour and grand opening of the store, the tree lit up with fireworks. IT WAS 
AMAZING! There is also a wonderful interactive display of all of Disney’s beloved stuffed animals. It has a Mickey Mouse display at the very top that spins when a button on the display is pushed. Moreover, the display has an area that kids can crawl through. Lastly, there is a wonderful huge theater style display that shows scenes and plays music from favorite Disney movies. There is also and oversized touch screen display that allows the user to select favorite scenes and music from various Disney movies. You can even ask the staff to display a special personalized message to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. This area also has a table so little ones can color on special Disney coloring sheets. Last but not least, there are tons of Disney products from all of your favorite Disney movies. Princess dresses, toys, clothing, balls, kitchen ware and much much more are available for purchase … Of course, there is a wide range of items in different price ranges, and some items are a bit pricey but worth the experience you receive. It is truly an EXPERIENCE!!!! It was more than I ever imagined and I highly recommend it to others. Thanks!
