Lucas and I got the opportunity to visit the new Disney Store at Perimeter Mall here in Atlanta for yesterday's Media Day. The store is so magical with its Pixie Dust Lane and translucent lit up trees. Lucas' eyes lit up when we walked in--even I felt like a kid again!


There are several interactive stations set up for kids. The one Lucas loved the most was the CARS branded Ridemakerz where kids can make and build their own vehicle from the CARS movie. This is basically like a Build-A-Bear, but for CARS. Super cool! Kids pick out the vehicle body, chassiz, treadz, wheelz, and then cool accessories. Plus, these vehicles can be turned into remote control cars.


Little girls will flip over the Magic Mirror, which actually recognizes the various Disney princesses. For instance, if your little girl wants to try on Cinderella's gown...then she would put it on and stand in front of the mirror and the mirror comes to life and speaks to the child.


All kids will love the Disney Store Theatre featuring the latest Disney entertainment and crayons and coloring sheets for kids to use while in the store.


Today is the official opening and they have lots of fun stuff planned for this week and weekend. The first 250 guests today will get a special gift and Jodi Benson, the legendary voice of Ariel from Disney’s "Little Mermaid” will be at the store. Mickey and Minnie will also be making an appearance, of course! More info about today's grand opening below.
