Photos/Video: Disney Store Pops Up at Pittsburgh’s Ross Park Mall for a Limited Time

Plus, find out where the next pop-up location is headed!

We attended the grand opening of the new Disney Store Limited Time location at Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh, PA, offering a first look at the pop-up retail experience.

What’s Happening:

  • Back in 2021, Disney fans were devastated as Disney Store veered away from its traditional brick-and-mortar retail model. 
  • What was once accessible to fans from around the country was now exclusively available online and at Disney Parks. 
  • Well, slowly but surely, Disney Store has started to creep its way back, including Disney Store sections at Target and, now, pop ups!
  • Laughing Place attended the grand opening of the new Disney Store Limited Time location at Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh, PA, which officially debuted on May 23 at 10AM ET.

  • The line was massive, with fans queuing outside the mall ahead of opening.
  • Just like the Disney Stores you know and miss, the pop-up has its own key!

  • The store is part of a collaboration with Go! Retail Group and is designed as a limited-time retail experience celebrating Disney fandom, storytelling, and beloved characters.

  • Guests were able to explore immersive in-store designs and shop a curated selection of merchandise inspired by Disney Parks, franchises, and classic stories.

  • The opening featured surprise and delight moments throughout the morning, along with exclusive products available only at Disney Store locations.
  • A highlight of the debut was an exclusive Pittsburgh-themed T-shirt created specifically for the Ross Park Mall opening.

  • The Disney Store Limited Time concept will also expand to Garden State Plaza in New Jersey later this fall, with both locations running through the holiday season.

  • For those looking to travel to Disney destinations around the globe, Laughing Place recommends Mouse Fan Travel.
