I was recently given a tour of the model store for the new style of Disney Store "Imagination park"
This store will be smaller than most Disney stores but will be all about the experience. The main effect from the parks that will be used is the pepper ghost effect.
1. The store will have a ceremony each day to open the store where one child will be picked to turn the magic key to open the store.
2. LED's galour! There will be LED lights all over the store including in a trail on the floor "pixie dust trail" that leads to a center Gazebo where small events will be held. These may include meet and greets but also will include story time and other events. There will also be LED lights on the walls which will include and effect that will have Tink flying across the wall, and the other one I saw on th opposite side was Buzz.
3. The ceiling will be used to create park like atmosphere because it will be covered in LED's. This will allow CM's at any time (via I-pad) to trigger a rather impressive LED fireworks display. Also we will be able to change the mood by making it appear to either be night or day in the store.
4. There will be several mirrors around the store that each have a wand. When you wave the wand different characters will appear and interact with guest from the many princesses to, Ligtning Mcqueen, Nemo, Toy STory, Captain JAck. The system will be able to be updated constantly so new characters can be added reguarly. There may also be RFID tech used in this process.
5. There may be at some point the addition of a central interactive AA like Mr. Potato Head from TSMM
6. All of the tech will be Apple and all of the effects will be controlled via I-pad. Let me start off by saying like everything Disney does this stuff is subject to change but a lot of it has already been approved.
