The World of Disney Store in New York City will not renew its lose and will close when it expires in 2010. This is the last World of Disney Store outside of Anaheim and Orlando and it will be missed. Disney has said that they will open a Disney Store somewhere in Manhattan after the closure.
So sad.

What’s the difference between a Disney Store and a World of Disney Store?

Its like the difference between 7-11 and a grocery store. Size and scope is just huge. Have you ever been to the World of Disney stores are the park? its like 8 Disney Stores in one.

Disney Stores is operated by Disney Consumer Products- it is a retail division. World of Disney is owned and operated by the theme parks..

[...] not renewing the lease on the NYC WOD store….. Sad, but true! Here’s a small blurb about it: World of Disney New York City to Close in 2010 – realdisney.com Since it looks like you’re planning for 2009, it should still be open then! __________________ [...]

I’m devestated.. It’s my favorite store ever and a traditional Christmas shopping spot every year. Besides my trip to the WOD in Orlando I’m always in this store. Can’t go to NY w/o my favorite stop. The most upsetting news ever to me!!!

FYI – I was just there yesterday 12/8/09. they were selling all their i love ny products (with the mickey head rather than the heart logo) at 60% off. I asked why and they said they were closing dec 31st. BUMMER!
Weird – no notice about ‘what you buy for christmas needs to be returned before the 31st ’cause we won’t be there after that’.

oh, and they mentioned there was talk of opening another store in NYC, but the cast member I spoke to at the customer service desk in the basement said that wasn’t going to happen : (
