Walt Disney World Update...The "Kings Gallery"
4/30/2007

As reported on 3/8/07 the "Bibiddi-Bobbitti Boutique" will have another shop in Cinderella's Castle replacing the "King's Gallery" in late July or August. The King's Gallery was to move into the "Virtual Magic Kingdom" on Main St. and they in turn were to move to "Mickey's Toontown."

However, according to close sources, Disney has decided not to re-open the King's Gallery. I spoke to several of the artists in the Gallery and they have told me that a meeting was held to advise them of the decision. One artist will be transferred to Downtown Disney and the other to the Watch Store on Main St.

Therefore, as of this writing, soon after the start of July, the renovations will begin on the new Boutique and now sadly, the Gallery will be no more. The Gallery was closed once before, but a flood of complaints from Guests who love shopping for one-of-a-kind prints, drawings, statues of Disney Characters and of course, those beautiful Arriba Brothers glass and crystal creations will have to start again, I know I will miss that shop.
