storytelling elements that allow guests of all ages to interact

Unique to the Polo Park Mall location, as guests enter the store

Castle, bringing the stories of the brave, kind and adventurous
Disney Princess characters to life through costumes, accessories,
dolls and more.
Disney Store’s signature Magical Trees line the Pixie
Dust Trail, and are an integral part of the immersive storytelling
experience, with iconic characters hidden throughout the
overlapping patterns of blue foliage. The Disney Store
Theatre is found at the end of the Pixie Dust Trail, where
guests can choose from an ever-changing library of over 50
different clips consisting of Disney, Marvel and Star Wars film
trailers, film clips, music videos, classic animation and more.
To celebrate Walt Disney Animation Studios’ highly anticipated
film, Big Hero 6, the Polo Park Mall location and Disney Stores
nationwide will offer an assortment of products featuring an
all-new lineup of colorful characters. From action figures and
apparel to electronic accessories, the Big Hero 6 product selection
is also available online at DisneyStore.com so guests can shop
their favorites anytime. And with Halloween just around the corner,
the Disney Store in Winnipeg has guests covered with a wide
selection of Disney, Marvel and Star Wars costumes and
