Disney Store giving out special Mickey ears in honor of 25th anniversary

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the Disney Store on Thursday, March 28, is planning to give away silver commemorative Mickey Mouse ears to the first 250 shoppers at each of it locations, the company announced.

The stores will also have family activities planned and give 25 percent off purchases at each store and online at DisneyStore.com, the company said in a press release.

“Disney Store’s 25th anniversary is about celebrating our guests, our products, and the memorable experiences we create for families every day,” said Jim Fielding, president of Disney Store worldwide.

Now, we all know the Disney Store has been through its ups and downs. The original stores were built to give everyone a full shopping experience, including art and animation. As the stores progressed and the merchandise, at least in my opinion, faltered, the stores went a bit downhill. As the recession hit, they needed to regroup and closed a lot of the locations. Hopefully, they will again bring back a nice shopping experience.
