If you have been to Orlando, I'm pretty sure you have been to Downtown Disney. It's one of our favorite spot to go every time we visit the Mouse Town. One of our favorite stores there, is this unique and fun toy store called Once Upon a Toy.
This fun toy store is like a heaven for kids or even adults. When you first walk in, you will see a huge selections of Mr. Potato Heads and family board games. The fun part has just begun. There is a play area that kids can spend hours creating their own version of Mr. or Mrs. Potota Head with various mouse-inspired accessories like Mickey Ears, Mouse hands, or Mouse balloon.
If you can peel them off from Mr. Potato Head table, you will walk into the Boy's Zone. A great selection of all classic action adventure characters like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Pirate of the Carribean are all on display. This was where Mr. Rojo just lost his coolness and became kid once again. The Star War Build Your Own Lightsaber - Choose Your Own Destiny station is a big hit for kids and adults. Well, I must say I see more parents than kids stood there. You can learn how to build your own version of lightsaber with instructions and all the necessary parts. Now, who can say no to that!
Girls don't have to worry.. In the back of the store, awaiting for them is the huge My Little Pony station. Miss J was never a my little pony fan but I know a bunch of friends who are. I'm pretty sure I can hear them scream as if they have found the best treasure box ever. No worried, there is another section for little princess lover to create their own jewelery using different Disney characters. It might not be as big as FAO in New York City but it's as much fun to check them out and a great stop during a hot Florida day. Best of all, if you can resist the begging, you might come out without spending any money. :)

It does sound like a lot of fun! And even though I have two daughters, I'll bet that they'd like the Toy Story part more than the Little Pony.

Oh my! We somehow missed this store. Perhaps it's a good thing. My daughter would have gone bonkers at the My little pony section!
Wow--my girls would be in heaven in the My Little Pony section.
Wow! Looks so exciting in there!
I have fond memories of downtown Disney, went every year as a kid. My parents spend their winters in Winter Haven and still go each year. It brings out the child in all of us.
