Some Changes

Today I resigned from my job at the Disney Store, sad day. But they just were not giving me enough hours and I couldn't do it anymore :(

I did however manage to land a job at a retail store called Shasa. It's relatively new to the US, I believe it was only in Mexico until last year or so.. They basically sell clothes + accessories similar to the style of Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Agaci, Wet Seal, etc.. It's not minimum wage, luckily, and I will be getting hours the manager said. I do not start until next Monday, though. (is it silly that I am super excited bc I can wear whatever I want and PAINT MY NAILS again!!!)

After going to the mall, Ian and I came home, while Joe went to the gym. Ian fell asleep: 

and I made myself some cheesy fries + tots ^__^

Disney Store's Grand Opening was Today

Unfortunately, I do not have any photos :( I worked 11am until 7:10pm and was in the front of the store the whole time.

When I got there at 11, it was already packed. They had to set up some velvet rope barriers to control the line of people, since we were only allowed ~75 guests in the store at a time (safety/fire marshal reasons). Also, in the center of the mall, there was a stage set up where some members of Radio Disney were dancing/entertaining the crowd, and from 12 - 4pm Mickey and Minnie were there taking photos with everyone.

Around 6 the crowds died down so we were able to get rid of the 'line' that we had, and anyone could just enter the store as they pleased.

After work I bought a father's day present for my dad, hopefully I get to see him tomorrow!

It was a really, really, really good day, and it went by so fast. I had a lot of fun, and I hope every kid that came it had just as much :) I was a little bummed because I didn't get to meet Mickey or Minnie, but eh, it was still overall a great day!

Disney Store, North Star Mall re-opening!

Hello to all the followers I wish I had!

I have been working for Disney for a few weeks now, and more specifically, working on our new store opening up at North Star Mall. I think I've put in 30+ hours just in the past 5 days :o!

It is completely different than the other stores here (Ingram, Rivercenter) and like nothing you've ever seen before! This new Disney Store is about 85% interactive, with things like trees that change color for the different seasons, a skyline depicting some famous landmarks in San Antonio, as well as a magic mirror located inside a princess castle!

I wish I had actual photos from the store, but I haven't had a chance to take any, but here are some from other interactive Disney stores, like our new one, around the nation:

In the first photo, you'll see the renovated outer portion of the store. Second photo, the 'box office' area, better known as the cashwrap :3 And finally in the third photo, a gazebo type area that has a 'theater' for different events that are going to be hosted by the cast members, for the children (and adults' inner child~*)

Welp, there ya go folks. My little summary of the new store. And if you are wanting to attend the soft opening of Disney store, it will be tomorrow, June 8th, 2011, at 10am. The first 100 guests get a prize at the door, and there will be a special surprise for one lucky kid.

Also, this is just the soft opening, the GRAND opening is June 18th, 2011 at 10am, and at the grand opening there will be appearances by Mickey and Minnie Mouse!! Bring your cameras, and take as many photos you want, both days!! Mickey and Minnie will be there between 12-4 :)

(I do not, in any way, claim credit for the photos above, they were found on google, and if you own them, and want credit, I'll be more than happy to oblige.)
