Crystal Arcade & The Storybook Store Are Open

The Crystal Arcade and The Storybook Store are officially open for business once again. Both stores reopened yesterday. Both stores look quite different than they used to look.

I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail in each of the stores. I had never noticed the charcters in The Storybook Store before today. The train has a new track, but the train itself is still getting some finishing touches put on it, so it will be up and running in a while. The CMs seemed quite pleased with the new look. I was pleased with the new layouts.

What no pictures Mamabot??

Oh I have pictures! I took 120 pictures today, but I am on dial up at home and it takes forever to upload the pictures. I will try to get a few done tonight before I go to bed.

I can't wait to see them...I used to work in the Storybook Store...

My brain is a little tired tonight. I am having issues with trying to figure out how to download the pictures from the camera so I can post the pictures here. It might not be until tomorrow until I can figure the whole thing out.

I cant wait to see them either
I love pictures....
All pictures

Thanks for the good news on the Arcade and the store. I will look forward to visiting them next week when we are at the Park.

The Once Upon a Time... A Princess Shoppe is where the Princess Story times are done... for as long as I can remember they've been there :)

Ok, here are some pictures. Notice that they took the wrap desk out of the center of the store. Great I dea for better traffic flow. Please excuse the light levels in the picture. We don't have a flash on our new camera.

You know what came to mind as I was looking excitedly at these wonderful pictures......

Am I crazy for being so excited about pictures of a store in DL.... .....

Then who goes to DL and takes pictures of the inside of a store???

I am so thankfull that there are crazies ( sorry Mamabot) out there taking pictures of the inside of disney stores to my very own Crazy mind of wanting to see them :D

Thank you so much MAMABOT!!

It looks like they took out the fabulous painting that was in the back of the Crystal Arcade.

Funny how it takes them three years to refurbish space mountain yet it takes less then 3 weeks to refurbish the biggest store in DL

Thanks for the update Mamabot and Great pictures:D

They actually covered the painting that was in the back a few years ago with dart boards(games theme), but the pic with Walt is still behind the wall as far as I have heard. It is one of those things that in a few years when they remodel it again they will find it behind those shelves. I like the lay out it is very much the WDW MK type layout. It would be great to get pics from about 10 to 15 years ago (god I hope it was not more then that but I think it might have been) when the Emporium was lots of walls and the back section was still the locker area.
