Year-round holiday shop will open
Plaza Point store to take over Main Street Photo Supply Co. location
Disneyland fans who love Christmastime at the Anaheim theme park will be able to get their dose of garland, ornaments and nutcrackers 365 days a year once a new year-round holiday shop opens on Main Street, U.S.A.
The new Plaza Point store will take over the former Main Street Photo Supply Co. location on Disneyland’s entry promenade.
Plaza Point will sell Christmas merchandise year-round, with Halloween and Lunar New Year overlays along with Easter, Hanukkah, spring and fall seasonal decor. The shop will feature ornaments, housewares, linens and holiday accessories.
Disneyland has not announced an opening date. Work on Plaza Point is expected to be completed by Oct. 16, according to MiceChat.
Photo supplies and PhotoPass services that used to be available at the Main Street Photo Supply Co. on Main Street, U.S.A. are being relocated to the former newsstand just outside the Disneyland front gate — which has been renamed the Photo Concierge booth.
Plaza Point will essentially serve as an expansion of the China Closet next door, which was often filled with ornaments and other holiday goods. Disneyland worked with Walt Disney Imagineering on the design of the Victorian-era, wood-paneled holiday shop with decor that reflects Disney’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Disneyland Resort enhancement graphic artist Brett Snodgrass designed one of the two new hand-painted window displays for the shop.
“To do original art for a new environment in the original Disney Main Street is a real honor,” Snodgrass told the Disney Park Blog in a video post.
Disneyland continues to work on another shuttered retail location in New Orleans Square. The former Le Bat en Rouge shop is expected to continue selling merchandise — despite misleading window signs that suggested a “Princess and the Frog” eatery could be coming to the location.
