Advantages: Stocks wide range of disney goods

Disadvantages: Can be a bit pricey

I love this shop it always makes me feel good when I go into it. BUt unfortunately my bank balance doesn't always agree. As with anything Disney related it doesn't come cheap.

There is such a range in the shop it is very hard not to find something you want to buy. There are the obvious children's toys and dressingup clothes but there are also lots of things for adults. They tend to stock some of the really nice collectables that you see when you go to the Theme parks. I really like the snow globes they have. I am a bit of a Winnie the Pooh fan so they quite often have a lot of Pooh, piglet and Eeyore merchandise, often it is both the Disney style and the original style of EH Shepherd's drawings.

When the store first opened you always used to be greeted when you came through the doors - this I found a little daunting as I sort of felt that I was being watched - I don't think this really worked with the British psyche so I don't think they do it anymore - or not in the last couple of stores I visited anyway.

They also stock a good selection of Disney clothes both in adult and children's sizes, and a good selection of stationary items - though once again I would say that if you are on a budget you are probably better looking in WH Smiths.

The shops are always bright, clean and the staff (or should I say cast members) are always helpful and pleasant. The shop is usually not too cluttered to it is easy to have a browse around, you will tend to find the majority of store will be focussing on the last couple of films released but there will always be something to be found from older films - it just might be bit harder to find.

Summary: A good store with a wide selection of Disney merchandise
