EDIT: THIS WAS NOT ME! IT WAS A STORY I READ FROM A GUY THAT DID HAVE IT HAPPEN TO HIM

Not even sure if that is a word but read below as someone told me this story

So was in town this morning and thought I'd pick up a form from the Disney Store for a part time job advertised online. So it's about 8.50, I can see the staff inside just getting ready to open so I just wait outside. In a few minutes one of the staff open the front door and I go to ask for an application form. She told me the store wasn't open yet but she wanted me to "help open the store." I politely laughed and she insisted I came in. I noticed a velvet rope with a giant prop padlock on it and then all of a sudden the lights dimmed and epic Disney music started blasting. Freaking tinkerbell started flying around the store and projections of fireworks started going off and then out of the darkness, A WOMAN COMES SOLEMNLY CARRYING A 3 FOOT FREAKING KEY OVER HER HEAD. I was presented the key and opened the store. I was given a miniature key for keeps. I walked out and couldn't stop laughing, composed myself and went home. THEY DO THIS EVERY MORNING.

Wait a minute, you want to work there. You might have to carry the key over your head. :p

It's part of the newer store design, they normally get a kid to open the store. By unlocking the padlock you are not only opening the store, but you are unlocking imagination. The concept and technology behind these stores are amazing and very fun. Kids love going into the store for the various events.
 
What DisneyQueenUK said! The newly-opened Oahu (Ala Moana Mall) does that, it's a big thing, I believe they're starting to do it at all the stores at opening. Pretty cool, huh?
 
I know this is not the right place for the story BUT it was taken from a website I go to. I was NOT the one looking for the PT job and this did NOT happen to me.

I wish it WOULD have but WOW it made me smile!
 
The Mission Viejo, CA store does this. I have seen it a couple of times. It's really fun!
 
LOL, they do this in the UK too, but they get a child to cast a 'spell' on the store (Let the Magic Begin! :)), and I think they get a Disney Store VIP lanyard (pins not included! :lol:) to keep after they do it :) It's so cute to watch! ^_^
 
my local disney store does that, i guess its one of the newer ones. .. it has a little castle with 3 mirrors inside so when girls try on the princess dresses and wave the charecters wand that princess appears in the mirror along with the voice of the fairy god mother "bibbity bobbity boo" and all that. across is a gazebo with a large screen t.v that interacts with younger kids and gets them to do activities. Next to that is a Cars garage thing where boys can custom make their own radio controlled car. and in the middle of it all is a large plain white tree that they project scenes from disney movies on it.
 
They do that at the Disney Store in Manchester England. The usually get the 1st child who is waiting to come in to do it but if there are no kids around they will ask a grown up! Somebody I knew has done it 3 times and she is a grown up!
