If you’ve ever been gone shopping on Main Street USA, odds are you’ve visited the Disneyland Emporium. This corner shop next to the fire station is the largest store on the street, and has a huge selection of souvenirs and Disney merchandise. But for shoppers who take a moment to look above the wares for sale, there is also a hidden gem to discover: the Emporium Balconies.
There are three balconies within the store. The tailor:
The hatter:
And the barber:
Not only are these balconies cool to look at; they’re also a nod to old school animatronics. Like the Elias & Co. Partygoers and Figaro, this is yet another hidden gem sitting just above your eye line. So remember: when in Disneyland, don’t forget to look up!
I thought originally there were four.
The fourth a barber.
Unless I’m thinking of something else
There is a barber! I don’t know about a fourth one though.
Do you know when these were added to the store? or were they always there?
I can’t confirm an exact date – from all the history books I’ve read, it seems like they’ve been there from very early on, if not the beginning.
LOL @ the Sweeney Todd comment
Really like their outfits, wish Disney sold them!
THOSE THINGS ARE SO CREEPY! Especially the barber one. Feels totally like a Sweeney Todd thing.
HAHAHA!!! That cracked me up. I have to go take another look at it from that perspective. Too funny!
I’ve been shopping on Buena Vista Street every single time I’ve gone to California Adventures, and I have never noticed this. Thanks!
