Pretend to Be a Pirate or Be Pretty as a Princess; World
of Disney Celebrates 10th Anniversary Year
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- To celebrate its 10th anniversary
year, the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney
Marketplace at Walt Disney World Resort has unveiled
new and interactive experiences at the largest Disney
shopping destination on earth.
The newly "re-imagined," 51,000-square-foot
retail playground features a world of pirates and heroes
in a new, interactive Adventure Room. Across the store,
youngsters can be made up as pretty as a princess with
the help of a "Fairy Godmother-in-Training" in
the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, part of the store's new
Princess Room.
Young adventurers can pretend to sail the high seas
and hoist the Jolly Roger in the Adventure Room. Young
heroes and heroines can fill treasure chests and skulls
with pirate plunder, create their own seafaring hat
and interact with a new Audio-Animatronics pirate named
Rusty Blade and his talking parrot pal, Pollyanna.
The latest Disney video games also fuel the imaginations
of young adventurers.
"Owned" by the Fairy Godmother and "operated" by
Fairy Godmothers-in-Training, the new Bibbidi Bobbidi
Boutique offers a menu of salon services designed to
pamper princesses ages three and up. Package options
and prices include:
Coach Package: Includes hair style and shimmering
makeup -- $35 plus tax.
Crown Package: Includes hair style, shimmering makeup
and nails -- $45 plus tax.
Castle Package: Includes the Crown Package plus an
imaging package (one 6x8-inch photo and four 4x6-inch
photos in a Princess-themed photo holder). Also includes
a complete child-size costume with accessories -- starting
at $175 plus tax.
Each package comes with a sash, and there are three
different hair style options from which to choose:
the Fairytale Princess, the Disney Diva and the Pop
Princess.
Hours of operation for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
will be 9:30 a.m.-6 p.m. daily (last appointment will
be at 5:30 p.m.), seven days a week. Walk-ins are accepted;
however, reservations are strongly encouraged by calling
407/WDW-STYLE (939-7895).
The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is part of the store's
new Princess Room. Resembling a great hall from castle
lore, the room is dedicated to the classic fairy tale
stories of Disney Princesses, Princes and their castles.
Other features include an Audio-Animatronics princess
who sings to guests, and interactive stations where
little girls can create their own tiaras and wands,
fill jewelry boxes and purchase princess make-up kits.
