Virtual Waitlists, Early Hour Reservations at Most Disney Stores in US

As the United States enters the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re also fast approaching the Christmas season. If you’re looking to shop at The Disney Store but are worried about the crowds, the house of mouse has introduced two new options at select stores.

Of the 160 locations in the United States, 112 are either offering early hour reservations, virtual waitlists, or both.

If you’d like to shop before your local store opens to the public, you can reserve early hours for $1, for up to 4 people. In return, Disney will donate $1 to Toys for Tots. If you’re hoping to snag a limited edition item, sorry: those don’t go on sale until the regular hours for each store location.

At peak times, 48 locations offer a Virtual Waitlist. Give your cellphone number to the cast member at the entrance, and they’ll put you in a queue, to text you when there’s space to return.

DisKingdom based this list on the information posted on The Disney Store website as of November 15, which is subject to change.

Additionally, five locations (Times Square, North Michigan Avenue, Stockton Street, Florida Mall, Ala Moana Centre) are also offering free Mickey Mouse ears at the counter, if you say the magic words “Mickey Mouse”.

Spikes in cases, deaths lead to temporary closure in El Paso

El Paso County issued a stay-at-home order, recently, to force non-essential businesses closed. In one week, at least 68 residents died of the disease, forcing the municipality to bring in mobile morgues to deal with the volume. The closure was brought to state appeals court by both the State of Texas and restaurant owners, leading to the decision being overturned.

Nevertheless, The Disney Store seems to have taken the jump seriously, as the official page for the store marks it as being closed.

Most stores in England closed temporarily

Most locations of The Disney Store in England are also closed. Shops at The Centre in Livingston and The Quadrant in Swansea remain open, but the remainder of its English stores are closed.

Locations in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales remain open.
