Elias & Co. is Buena Vista Street’s most glamorous retailer. At the front of the store, you’ll find the latest Disney collectibles, jewelry, and Dooney & Burke collections. In the back rooms, choose from a large selection of men’s, women’s, and junior clothing, so you can spend your day in the parks in style.
SHOPPING TIPS
The front room in Elias & Co. is worth visiting, even if you don’t plan on buying anything. Apart from being a gorgeous shop in general, the front room always has the latest & greatest Disney stuff, and I just like seeing what’s new. Since the store is fairly large, you shouldn’t have much trouble getting around. Although, I’d avoid the shop during parade time; a lot of guests block the doorways trying to get a peak as the parade passes around Buena Vista Street!
TRIVIA
The name “Elias” is a Disney family name: it was Walt’s middle name and his father’s name.
Elias & Co.’s art deco style draws inspiration from Los Angeles in the 1920s, the era and location replicated by Buena Vista Street.
I don’t care for this shop because the items are too trendy. I prefer the classic things that don’t cycle out so quickly.
