Kim looks at the new shop in New Orleans Square.Le Bat en Rouge.

Le Bat en Rouge Opens
Halloween-town Meets the Disney Villains

Opening on the morning of October 3rd was the newest shopping experience at the Disneyland Resort - Le Bat en Rouge in New Orleans Square. Kudos to Kim Irvine-Alison and her team at the Disneyland Design Studios for theming this spooky spectacle of shopping. It’s as much fun to browse as it is to buy. Enjoy this look at the new venue and it’s spooky merchandise.

The red bat in red - I really like this sign - I'd buy a pin of this sign (hint - hint - hint).

Coffin-shaped display cabinetry adds to the spooky décor. There are some very nice touches that lend theme to this new shop.

The Hag Queen has a new home - this is one of my favorite set pieces at the park. No matter where I am in the shop - when her "show" begins I have to stop and watch.
