Disneyland Paris - Val d’Europe Store CLOSES
@Disney_ParisEN
This week marks the final farewell to the only Disney Store off the official Disneyland Paris resort…over at Val D’Europe. The one off that was the ‘Rendez-Vous Disney’ store over in Val d’Europe has now officially closed its doors after just over eleven years of trading. It will be replaced by an expanded Oxybul “play and discovery” toy store, which already has a unit next door. Located in the Centre Commercial at the heart of the Disney-planned town within the resort’s boundaries, the store was operated by Euro Disney SCA alongside the other park, Village and hotel boutiques with Disney Cast Members and a select range of resort merchandise comprising clothing, toys, homewares and general souvenirs.
This store was one of the first Disney stores seen before reaching Disneyland Resort Paris, but it seems that executives think that there are enough stores at the Parks and Disney Village to cope. Original features included a large video wall and four projected clocks, showing the time in the then four Disney resorts around the world. The store appeared to see little subsequent investment in updates in the years that followed, and likely became unjustifiable as Disney cut its ties with the mall, especially with the vast array of stores just a kilometre or so away at the resort itself.
