New Orleans Square Shopping |

glasses, pitchers, mugs and other glassware here. Cobalt blue glasses and mugs
are available as well.
Couples looking for Disney-themed wedding merchandise will find a great
deal of items here. All items purchased here are usually engraved free of

 The
Disney Gallery
Although not an official "attraction", this gallery
has many interesting items. Conceptual drawings for Tomorrowland, as well as
other Disney attractions are on display here. Items for purchase include limited
edition cel and animation art, posters and Disney collectibles. It is just up
the steps next to the Tarzan Treehouse (above the Pirates of the
Caribbean). This space was originally going to be a private apartment for
Walt Disney to entertain guests. (the apartment above the Main Street
Firehouse was a private apartment for Walt and his family). It was never
completed, but you can still see the initials of Walt on the iron gate in the
rear of the gallery.
The Disney Gallery will close forever at the end of July, 2007.

La Boutique De Noel
It's Christmas all year round here.
Disney holiday items can be purchased in this small shop. You can purchase
Disney character items here individually, or in a boxed set. This shop is just
to the left as you pass the infamous Club 33 doorway.
 La
Mascarade D'Orleans
Mardi Gras stylings of soaps and oils available
here. There are also exotic hand-painted masks here as well.
Le Bat en Rouge
This shop, opened October 3rd of
2002, features souvenirs and memorabilia from Disney's Haunted Mansion
Holiday. Collectibles and pins are also available at the Premiere Shop
in Tomorrowland.
Mardi Gras Cart
A cart, usually stationed outside of
Cafe Orleans, stocks Mardi Gras beads, jewelry and candy.
 Pieces
of Eight
If your child was enthralled with
Pirates of the Caribbean, (well, who isn't impressed with Pirates?)
this is the shop to visit. Several pirate-related items are available here.
Personalized key chains with a limited selection of names can be purchased
here. This shop is located to your right as you exit the Pirates of the
Caribbean. Also, be sure to check out the evil Queen from Snow White as
she cackles in her cage, beckoning you to let her out (she originally was in the
Disneyana shop on Main Street USA).
Jewel of Orleans
This jewelry store is unlike
most you'll find. It offers one-of-a-kind previously owned jewelry pieces dating
back to the 1850's. Cufflinks, watches, rings and necklaces. Prices can be quite
high for some pieces ($24,000.00), however the shop offers a layaway plan with
no interest charged.
L'Ornement Magique
This store sells
exclusive Disney character ornaments designed by artist Christopher Radko. Every
year, Radko designs a new ornament exclusively for Disneyland. Other non-Disney
ornaments are available here as well.
