Fortuosity Shop features timeless treasures galore! On October 3, 2008, New Century Timepieces will re-open its doors as the new Fortuosity Shop. "The name of the shop was inspired by the opening song from The Happiest Millionaire," says Walt Disney Imagineer and Director of Concept and Show Design, Kim Irvine. "We chose it because it is a Disney word created to express good fortune, which we hope everyone will find some type of fun fortune or treasure each time they visit the shop."


Fortuosity is based on the One Of A Kind shop in New Orleans Square - with lots of old pieces of furniture for displays, lots of funky lights and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, all to create the feel of a shop one would find on Main Street in the early 1900's. With its eclectic offering of accessories, apparel and gift items, this ever-changing location will continuously reinvent itself, while continuing to offer a selection of our Disney watches, clocks and ever-popular artisan watches. So be sure to take more than a moment to linger in this unique shop and discover unexpected keepsakes that you will treasure for a lifetime.

I'm so happy that they are bringing a shop like this back to Main St. It is about time. I will defiantly be there on it's opening day to check out all the cool stuff.

I can't wait to see it. I agree that it's good that they are bringing unique, creative shops back to Main Street.

Okay, what's the catch?

Cause it's sounding like they're doing something right.

^^^^
Let's hope there is no catch and that the creativity is contagious!

[Steve DeGaetano]

Even I'm intrigued

(But they still need to revert to the original architecture and palette).

I approve of more Happiest Millionaire references in Disney parks. Glad to see a unique specialty store opening in the states (wish WDW was geting one)

Exciting!!! This is so great.

[BigThunder]

This sounds like good news. It gives me hope that we are finally lurching into a more creative, post-Pressler era.

[Fishbulb]

Just wow!

I'm really interested in this. It sounds like an artsy/boutique kind shop. I wonder if it will look like that, but be stuff with plush and candy that cover the watches and clocks, or will it actually have unique merchandise?

I can't wait to see it. It opens the day after my birthday, so I might be there to check it out.

Some people should take back comments they made when the century time piece store went away.

[Evil Step-Mom]

Awesome, can't wait to check it out.
