Disney Opens Mini Shops Inside Target - And Moms & Kids Rejoiced

10/29/19 - By Carrie Taylor

In early October, Disney officially opened "shop-in-shop" stores inside select Target locations across the United States. As if you needed another reason to love shopping at Target!

Disney opened only 25 shops across the country, including in Chicago, Philadelphia, Spring, TX and Pasadena, TX. Each store's "shop-in-shop" features merchendise from your favorite Disney films, both classic and new, and prices starting as low as $5. While you are browsing costumes, clothing and gifts, the kids can play at the interactive entertainment center, which features fun and colorful games and movie clips.

These shops also feature exclusive items you can only find there. Thank you, Disney, for making Target even more magical.

Find a map of all Disney and Target collaborations here, and visit Target's website for an online hub featuring even more Disney gear.
