| | Julie - welcome to the DML message boards - you actually have that message in your signature, so you need to change it - if you need help, be sure to let me know! Right now I don't think there is any specific information on which stores are going to be closing. Leanne

| When is the change going to happen? Are they going to reopen some of the stores that are currently closed? Or do we not know that yet. I tell you what, I was really upset that my Disney Store closed down!

| | According to what I heard, the decision on which ones to close would be made within a month. I'm not sure what criteria goes into making those decisons. If a store is currently closed, I would guess that is bad news. I did hear that the international Disney stores are doing ok (they were always managed by Disney), so things could better. I think the problem with the bad economy makes people have less disposable income, so stores that are nitche stores (like the Disney store) could struggle. This is what eventually doomed the WB stores. I'm interested to see what happens. However, having the store back in Disney hands maybe would turn it around, and eventually see expansion again. Not sure about the South Hills Village Disney Store. Pittsburgh is pretty lucky to have several Disney stores (Ross Park, Greensburg, Robinson and Century III), so I would think they would want to keep at least one open in that area. Cool about so many people going to the Ontario Mills. When I work in Fontana, I stay about 1 mile away from that mall at the Best Western. They do have a nice Disney store outlet there. |

| Wow, that's not even counting the ones that are already closed, like mine!  What about the outlets? I may have to make a trip over to the outlet mall when I go down to FL to help my sister pack (they're getting stationed in NC).

| | Not 100% sure about that Danette. I think all 98 stores are notifed, but I don't have a complete list yet. My sister told me yesterday was the last day employees could still get their discount at the stores, and they expect to liquidate the starting this week, and closing on June 6th. At any rate, we are losing 4 stores in the Pittsburgh area ... I think in the short run it's bad, but in the long run, perhaps they will have the opportunity to expand, if the chain can start making money again. |

| That is so horrible the ones I shop at are closing. I don't have any close by now. I think they did just open a Disney outlet but it's 2 1/2 hours away
