Sadly, Michael Moore already did that when he made "Roger and Me" ...

On the plus side, the Tigers are still in 1st place in the AL Central. :)

Never worked for the mouse, but once owned a paint your own pottery studio. We had a pizza shop next door and the only reason that parents were allowed to leave the kids alone with me was to go get their order. I gave them 5 minutes to get it since the owner would call me when my customers food was ready. I once had to call DCF on a family. Mom had a girlfriend on the phone and was slamming the kid's dad in front of him. I told her she either had to stop or Leave. She hung up the phone and the next time I checked on them he was by himself. And he was five! Plus he was painting with the only color in the whole shop that isn't safe to eat (and i had told mom that). Yep we had kids eat paint. I called social services and declared the child abandoned. We also had parents show up with the kid(s) to "paint" something for grandpa, grandma, dad. The child (usually between 2-5 years old) won't be allowed to touch the piece and mom didn't bring ANYTHING to keep the kid entertained. Like Grandma thinks little Tommy can write his name perfectly and stencil an elephant on that plate at 2! It often made me a lot of money for I had a policy, I break it I cry, you break it you buy. Once made $150 of one stupid parent.

The Sun Valley Mall in Concord, CA has a Vics Secrets across from the Disney store, lol. Is it that way everywhere?

Probably.

It is not like Victoria's Secrets is such risque lingerie. Now, if it were say Fredrick's of Hollywood...that would be interesting.

It was like that at Vista Ridge Mall in Lewisville, TX. Sadly, the Disney Store pulled out of that mall. I don't blame them, it seems to be going downhill a bit.

I said "About."

And shouldn't I know where the shops are in my own Local Mall? How else am I gonna get around in there. It's 1,700,000 square feet with over 250 stores. A person could get lost in there if they don't know what stores to look for. (Looked it up in wikipedia!)

Personally I liked the Disney store better when it was in the other wing of the mall, it was painted dark inside and had a Sorcerers Apprentice sort of thing going on, with lights in the floors and had sectioned off themed "rooms" where movies related to the merch were played on screens and stuff... really mystical. You went in thru this narrow door on a corner and it was almost like you weren't in the mall anymore.

In it's new location the whole front wall is glass, the walls and floor are white, and you go in thru a huge red arch that looks like the Disney Chanel Logo. It's like the fricking H&M.

Sorry Mayo, it was a joke. :p: With a mall that size, I'm amazed you know where anything is.

The only thing I know about the Disney Store in my mall is it's right next to the Great American Cookie Company. Talk about a nightmare when you're hungry.
