New toys from Disney and Hasbro include:
A Mr. Potato Head with Disney theme park accessories such as Mickey Mouse ears, a character autograph book, a Mickey balloon, a sorcerer's hat and a teacup vehicle from Disney's Mad Tea Party attraction.
Disney theme park editions of Monopoly and Candy Land, and a new version of the classic detective game Clue set inside Disney's Haunted Mansion attraction. Star Tours action figures from the "Star Wars"-inspired attraction. Play-Doh sets based on Disney's It's a Small World and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin attractions.
A miniature version of Disney's Wilderness Lodge resort hotel made from Lincoln Logs.
Inside, the store is bursting with whimsical touches and kinetic displays, including a ceiling-mounted spinner from The Game of Life, a rotating conveyor bearing dozens of toys and games, and a child-size version of the Walt Disney World Railroad that travels a winding track suspended from the ceiling.
Once Upon a Toy is the first retail location at Disney to feature touch-screen terminals that allow shoppers to have their purchases delivered for free to their Disney hotel or shipped for a fee to any address.
The Downtown Disney area is a 120-acre shopping, dining and entertainment complex that includes the Marketplace, Pleasure Island and the West Side.
