Walt Disney World & Disney Store Bring Disney Magic to San Juan, Puerto Rico With Fun-Filled Family Events Oct. 7-8, 2011

Disney Store and Walt Disney World Resort® will begin making magical memories at Plaza Las Americas in San Juan, Puerto Rico with two great fun-filled family events. Beginning Friday Oct. 7, 2011, Disney will celebrate the final stop of the hugely popular Disney Parks’ “Let the Memories Begin” US Tour and kick-off the grand opening of Disney Store’s brand new innovative store that promises to deliver “the best 30 minutes of a child’s day.” World renowned Puerto Rican boxer Tito Trinadad and his family will help “unlock imagination” at the opening ceremony of the Disney Store. Families will walk into an interactive photo experience in the mall’s center court, and to make the occasion even more memorable they will be able to hug and take photos with beloved Disney characters on Oct. 7 & 8 (12 p.m. to 7 p.m.).

Walt Disney World invites Puerto Rico families to “Let the Memories Begin” with picture-perfect moments in the interactive photo booth.  The tour consists of a virtual photo experience for the entire family that magically transports guests to the most iconic Walt Disney World landmarks using photography. Picture yourself and your family in front of an iconic Disney setting such as Cinderella Castle, the centerpiece of Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort nearly 1200 miles away. Before Puerto Ricans actually head to Florida to make magical vacation memories, they’ll discover themselves in photos that make it look as though they are basking in Magic Kingdom fun! Guests can visit www.LettheMemoriesBeginTour.com now to learn more about “Let the Memories Begin” celebration and to upload and create a virtual in-park Disney photo memory.

Disney Store unveiled its award winning concept store in 2010, and continues to open the unique family shopping destination in major cities worldwide. Now families in Puerto Rico will be able to enjoy a touch of Disney magic every day in the 4,500 square-foot store. The all-new Disney Store features immersive Disney-themed experiences incorporating state-of-the-art technology. While visiting Disney Store, guests will encounter a Disney Princess castle with magic mirror, translucent magical trees showcasing Disney animation, and a Disney●Pixar CARS-branded neighborhood. Families following the glittering blue Pixie path throughout the store will be led to the Disney Store Theatre where they can select from a variety of Disney entertainment including film clips, music videos, and classic animation, and view it on a 12-foot long curved high definition screen.  The custom skyline bordering the store features iconic Disney moments and Puerto Rico landmarks including the Casa De Espana Fountain, Fort San Felipe del Morro (“El Morro”), the Hotel El Convento and Paseo La Princesa.

All the fun kicks off Friday, Oct. 7 at 11 a.m. with the Disney Store grand opening celebration at Plaza de Las Americas, 525 Ave Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

With each new store opening in the United States and Canada in 2011, Disney Store will donate 10 percent of the first day’s sales to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
