This place is dangerous! Don't try to walk past and ignore it with kids, or some adults (i.e me). I could easily spend my wages in here, on my niece (Smurf) obviously (cough, cough). I was in yesterday enquiring about being able to open the store. This is an actual thing. I found out yesterday at 3pm and headed straight to the store to see if it was real. I spoke to a cast member who directed me to a manager. I have Smurf at the end of November so was chancing it to see if a space was available, they looked but sadly not. They book 3 months in advance for this event, but it is available every day, it doesn't seem to be restricted. Good to know as Smurfs birthday is in June (and mine in March) I was on my lunch break so didn't get to browse much this time, but there will be other times. I can guarantee this. read more

Disney Store - Key given to me for opening the store - Toy Stores Near Me - Scotland, GLG

I vividly remember how I spent my first best friend's 7th birthday. We were driven to Glasgow by her parents for the sole purpose of visiting The Disney Store. After much shopping, some purchasing with our pocket money and a little post-shopping food, we happily dozed off in the car home. Although I've grown up, Disney still remains slightly magical and I know my little five-year-old cousin (who truly believes she is going to be a princess one day) would adore this store as much today as I did all those years ago. It is full of disney gifts from soft toys to dressing up costumes and often has deals on Disney DVDs. Sadly some fantastic items are just too expensive for what they are and you are paying for the Disney branding. However, a must-go for those with young children or perhaps overgrown kiddies like myself - a Disney wonderland. read more

I don't like children but I love the Disney store so I have mixed emotions when I come here. Located within the St Enoch Shopping Centre, this store is easily 'The Happiest Place Within The Shopping Centre'. It's just fun and oozes Disney Magic from every single pore. I love this place. As you enter, you are greeted very warmly by a cast member as Disney would call them. It's not the largest Disney store in the world (note: the one in Downtown Disney is AWESOME!) but it's a decent size. There's a princess castle area with mirrors little princesses (or me) and princes can walk through, admiring themselves in the mirror in the latest Disney accessories. There is also an area for the kids to sit at the back and watch some Disney movies etc on a large screen which is pretty cool. Although most of the toys, clothing etc isn't applicable to me because I don't really have any children to shop for and apparently I'm too old for everything, they do have a good range of mugs which I'm obsessed with buying. I love a good Disney mug. What do I wish they had? An impressive display of cuddly toys! That's definitely what this store is missing! Even though it can get really busy, I like this store and enjoy shopping here when I pop in. read more

Disney Store - All the Tsum Tsums! - Toy Stores Near Me - Scotland, GLG

I used to love Disney. The Disney Store in St. Enoch Centre is hard to walk past when you're strolling through the shopping centre, particularly as they frequently change the layout in light of whatever the latest big release is, which at the moment, is The Princess and the Frog. This is both a blessing and a curse, leaning more towards the side of being a curse in my book as Disney are, in my mind, way past their prime with only a handful of 3D animations in conjunction with Pixar in the last ten years or so being worthy of mention. Because of the heavy emphasis on stocking products related to recent releases, and considering that most of them are straight to DVD sequels and general yawn-a-thons, the majority of the products in store are not worth checking out really. Kids of today wont know any better though, I guess, and that is the demographic that this store is targeted towards. It's a funky shop all the same, but pretty pricy. I wish there was a Warner Bros. Store.. read more

I have loved the Disney store for a far longer time than is healthy for an adult to admit too. Thankfully these days I have two little people of my own and various nieces and nephews to justify my visits. They do the Disney/American schmaltz thing really well with greeters on the door who actually manage to make it look like they are happy to see you. The store is jammed packed with dress up costumes ranging from Darth Vadar to Merida from Brave, Minnie Mouse to Buzz Lightyear, soft toys, cups, mugs and glasses, dolls,keyrings, stationery and anything else that they could possibly Disney-fy. This visit we were just browsing. So i have no idea how I ended up paying for a Jack Skellington mug for g, an Inside Out t-shirt and cup for smudge, a stitch t shirt and hat for puff and a Toy Story pea pod Christmas tree decoration for me. That might be the magic of the Disney shop, you get conned out of your money every time you set foot in the place and still feel good about the experience and keep coming back for more. I have also now started plotting for Christmas and both the girls have various things added to their lists that they will treat with complete indifference but that their mental mother will appreciate greatly! read more

What are peoples problem with Disney store. Disney stores are the important part of a kids life. If for example you want a cheap toy story toy, lady, vampirina and more then go to a Market and it is cheap meaning fake or something else. Disney is a brand that can be trusted, the goods are genuine, the staff create a atmosphere around Disney for kids by having character names. See it not only about the item. It's also about the complete package product, staff atmosphere, and also that they can be trusted. No need to say anything nasty about Disney as all kids from birth to adults ( kids at heart ) love Disney read more

Glasgow's original Disney Store is a good bit bigger than the other one in Buchanan Galleries, and stocks the usual range of merchandise from toys and games to DVDs and Mickey Mouse hoodies. Recently, they've had in stock a couple of products so good that they managed to temporarily remove my constant facade of cynicism. Firstly, a toy version of the claw game from the original Toy Story, and also a new version of the Buzz Lightyear toy that has the exact same features as the one in the film, even down to the spacecraft shaped box. Brilliant. read more

Disney Store - from official website - Toy Stores Near Me - Scotland, GLG

ARRRGGGHHHH, I love Disney. Well you would be some sort of evil monster if you didn't. Unfortunately the store isn't the same as when I was young but where is???? The store is full of children completly take in with the magic of Disney, the plush toys, Princess outfits and buzz lightyear models. On the adult side there is a great selection mugs, t-shirts and of course the cuddly toys. My biggest bug with the place is they never have what you are looking for, don't know when it is coming in and when it does arrive won't hold it for you, not even until the end of a day. Coupled with the over inflated extortionate pricing this place would struggle without the corporate backing. The staff are great with the kids but terrible with adults. I will always be taken in their by various family members and connected children and will always have a love for Disney. read more

I am a lifelong Disney obsessive, so having my wee niece around now with her first christmas just round the corner gave me the perfect opportunity to go a bit mad in here whilst I was tackling the first tranche of ''real'' christmas shopping this year. The range of stuff is really great and the prices are pretty much what you'd expect to pay for disney merchandise. The staff are an utter delight (seriously, how are they so happy?!) So the 3 stars rather than the 5 that my heart wants to give are reflected in the really bad management of queueing that came close to inducing PTSD/claustrophobia in me today. It's nearly christmas, it's a disney store and it's obviously going to be mobbed with people and little kids, so a wee bit better shaping of the queueing system would save a lot of time and a lot of hassle. There were at least 3 near tussles with the women either side of me in the queue with one trying to get to merchandise that was on shelves the queue was supposed to go around with the other woman thinking she was ''trying to cut me off eh?!''. And that's before you get to all the parents trying desperately to cling to their offspring who are determined to barrel through the middle of the queue to get to something shiny/furry/glittery on the other side. read more

If you're at all capable of walking in here and not just falling in love instantly, then there's obviously something wrong with you. You heartless Disney hater... Being in the Disney store always takes me back to watching the films or going to Disneyland as a child. It's literally floor to ceiling covered in DVDs, toys, costumes and memorabilia. It's not as big as a couple of other Disney stores, but it's probably got everything and anything you're looking for. If I was able to buy a costume from here that would fit, you can bet I would have it! read more

On a short shopping trip in town we were drawn to visit the Disney Store. We love visiting Disney stores and this time of year it's a mix of playing find the Nightmare Before Christmas goodies tucked away in strange places, looking at all the Monsters Inc/University outfits we could subject our little nephew to wearing (Sully outfit is awesome), and looking at the XMAS 2013 decorations (including trying to find any of the amazing ones that are on the US website, sadly not usually seen in the UK). We decided to buy a few cool ( pun intended) XMAS 2013 drinks beakers ( after seeing two on display and rummaging around all the mugs etc to find a few to buy). With the run up to XMAS starting and Halloween even closer, the store was crowded and very hot, so we were disappointed to see a massive queue, even with all 3 tills on. After a few minutes waiting, the queue started speeding up as one of the shop floor staff started helping with the bagging (why this hadn't happened previously I don't know). The obligatory up-selling at the tills was rather annoying after the long wait but we were soon out and happy with our purchase (although later we found that the lid on one of the beaker was warped so didn't close properly). The Disney Store at St Enoch's is good (bigger than some, such as the tiny London Covent Garden store), but after visiting the World of Disney store in Florida no Disney Store can compare I'm afraid. read more

When I was younger, this place was heaven to me, filled with gorgeous goodies, teddies and toys that I longed to be able to buy. I must applaud the staff here, who manage to maintain their smiley faces and upbeat mood throughout the day, when surrounded by hyped up screaming kids. A combination of a toy shop, plus all of your childhood film favourites, makes this place hard to beat as a store for kids and big kids alike. read more

Ah, the Disney Store... I'm afraid I was one of those rather pathetic youths whose love for Disney carried on in into their early teens, their late teens and into... well, now. I'm as enamoured as I was as a skinny little kid with Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast - if not more so, and just as enamoured with the new Disney films too. Although I have moved on enough to not desire to buy merchandise of said films for myself. No, now I just shop for other people's children in order to bestow gifts. Does that sound creepy? I look after the kids - just so you know. I don't just hand out Buzz Lightyear pencil cases in the street to passing kiddies. Anyway, yes, the Disney store. Well, I'm somewhat biased I suppose, but it is still a bit magical - though in comparison other Disney stores I've been in, it does feel a bit small and stuffy. Amazingly, the Aberdeen one is actually far more magical - with a huge display of a mountain of soft toys, that we frequently used to throw ourselves into in a giddy haze, but that's another story. read more

I don't care about the rampant consumerism and faceless corporate stranglehold that this place represents - I simply love it! While you're paying for the brand more than the quality of merchandise, I still can't help but pop in to the Disney Store whenever I happen to pass by. It's like a treasure trove of amazing (and, admittedly, amazingly useless!) toys, costumes, keyrings, mugs, pencil cases, and slippers. You can't beat it! They also stock loads of soft toys, for which I am an absolute sucker, and of course the Disney DVDs. The best parts for me are those pencil cases with all the hidden compartments, and anything glittery that I can write with! For a smallish store, they do a lot with the space, and have a huge screen on the back wall playing your favourite Disney films. What more can you ask for? read more

I was so excited to head to the Disney store today as it was my first visit as a mum and I was looking forward to picking something out for my boy. I'm afraid it just wasn't as good as I remembered (sad face) I love Disney and there are plenty of snippets of Disney Magic around the store but they didn't seem to have a great variety of the things I was looking for (drinking cup with a built in straw and a little back pack) for my boy. There were lots of quite girly options, such as all the Disney Princesses which is fair enough, but I hate toys being segregated by gender, so why does the little mermaid cup need to be edged in bright pink glitter? Bah. The soft toys are still amazing and you could quite easily leave having spent a small fortune! read more

Over priced, soulless, made in a sweat shop under horrific conditions, corporate crap!!!! Will i be buying my daughter some daft we princess outfit when she's older?...yes i will will i think she looks cute as i dress her up in her Stitch from "Lilu and Stitch" costume at halloween?....yes i will Am i an old cynical bastard who occasionally needs a cartoon to break my heart, reduce me to tears and remind me life needn't be as serious as i sometimes make it out to be?...no, but the bastards do it anyway!! Top 3 Disney films that have made me cry: 1, The Incredibles - when he thought his family had died 2, Monsters Inc-The bit at the end when "kitty" sees boo again...christ I'm welling up here 3, Dumbo- All of it god damn it!!!!! I hate you Disney. read more

I always visit this store when i am in the st enochs centre. With the welcome at the door there is a good range of disney soft toys, slippers, dressing up costumes for the children and various disney gifts. Some of the prices are expensive and others reasonable along with seeing happy children it is a lovely place to visit. They currently have Christmas stock out and you can purchase personal items such as stockings etc. They have a website but the delivery charge is nearly £5.00 so your better going into the store plus you can get the disney feeling! read more

For the first time in a long time I popped into the Disney Store yesterday to get a little bit of Christmas shopping. I normally avoid places like this for one of two reasons; the hordes of screaming children or that I want to buy everything even though I'm a grown-up woman with no children (I'll let you decide which one you believe). As you would expect with a Disney Store everyone was very happy and friendly. I couldn't seem to find what I was looking for at first and a lovely assistant helped me find it. The store is currently set out with all the Frozen themed things right at the front, so similar items of different characters might be different places. I went to pay and had a lovely chat with another assistant who was more than happy to help gift box my items for me. Really cheered up my day. Everyone was really helpful and friendly and I really recommend having a look in for Christmas present/decorations as they have do much at the minute. read more

Like Chris D said, it is corporate, it is souless, but damn it, those little fluffy Cinderella slippers are the cutest! I can't help but come in here when I am passing, and sing along to the chirpy Disney songs that blast out of the stereo in here. I hate myself for it, but deep inside, I am dying to bring my (future) kids here and let them go wild, so I can truss them up like wee dolls in the cute dressy up things. I know, sad. You get the odd cute bit in here for the adult enthusiast, like mugs and ornaments, but I think I grew out of that a while ago. However, for the moment, this is the closest I am going to get to DisneyWorld, which I suppose will do for now. read more

Two days and two completely unacceptable experiences. Yesterday, I was in the store with my kids, looking for a specific item and couldn't find it. There was one girl behind the till and a huge queue so I didn't want to bother her. There was an older woman and an older man, clearly staff members, standing in front of a set of items just chatting to each other about random nonsense and not paying customers any attention. When I went over to the shelf they were in front of to try and see something, I said "excuse me please", the woman turned to me, tutted and shifted out the way about an inch. Needless to say I didn't want to ask for their help after the interaction and looks I got. Weird that I expected them to do some work rather than chat to each other. Today, I called to see if they had the item in stock, before having to go in and deal with their lovely staff, only for the guy on the phone to respond to me like I'd used foul language and screamed at him. Evidently asking about stock is beneath him and he couldn't be bothered helping. For a store that's all about providing experience and 'magic' to their customers, this couldn't be further from it. Avoid if you can, unless you want to be ignored or spoken down to. read more

If you like soft toys that are as cute as a button or you are a fan of Disney merchandise you will probably already be aware of the Disney shop, personally I don't think it's anything special which I think is a good thing. I'm not really sure if I'd be the person I am if I was a raging Disney fan. Each to their own I guess, if Disney is your think this is your shop. I don't like it especially when they are playing Disney music and I can hear it, again I imagine I'm probably not their target customer. read more

Another one of those shops you cant walk past if you have children. My 4 year old insists we go in for a look. Always plenty of staff on the floor who have always been helpful. My only gripe with the disney shop is its a nightmare to negotiate a pram or buggy around it as the aisles are very narrow so you do tend to get stuck several times. The items are good quality but can be quite dear. They do have several sales each year so this is ideal to stock up on birthday presents and Christmas gifts as well as basics like pants and vests and pyjamas read more

Great shop natrually and always fun to go in but it's very pricey and should only ever be a rare treat to buy something! It's nice stuff though and brilliant if anything is on sale! read more

the disney store in the st enochs centre is great for kids a really great looking shop the kids just cant walk by it but really expensive and the staff arnt to helpfull and there is always a great big queue if you can aviod near christmas. read more

I love the Disney Store and always pop in when I am in the city centre. The store is amazing. There is plenty for the kids to do while parents shop in this store. A large screen TV at the back of the store playing great Disney songs or adverts on the Theme Parks. There is a small table for your little ones with puzzles or sheets to colour in. There is also a wide selection of children's wear and toys. There should however be more selection for the people who never want to grow up as there is in the US stores. A large castle is located in the middle of the store to keep your little princesses entertained. The staff are very friendly and helpful whether you need advice on buy something in the store or if you are planning your next trip to the parks. read more
