WDW 'Snow White' Lego Store Display

In early 2011, the Lego Imagination Center at Walt Disney World's Downtown Disney Marketplace underwent a renovation which included the addition of several new outdoor displays. They store reopened on April 19th, and the Snow White characters got representation in not one, but two separate Lego sculptures. The first included Snow kissing Dopey with the forest animals gathered around. The other was of the dwarfs working at their diamond mine.

Fellow blogger, TokyoMagic of Meet the World shot these night photos while on a visit in October of that year.

During my trip in May 2012, heavy rain was an unwelcome but constant companion. Yet, it didn't stop me from snapping a bunch more pics.

Snow White Mural at Ella's Deli

I stopped into Ella's Deli the other day for a hot dog and discovered a Snow White mural. What's Ella's Deli? It's a restaurant, kosher deli, and ice cream parlor located in Madison, Wisconsin. The place is crazy kid-friendly--from an operating 1927 carousel out front to animated figures and whimsical decor inside.

Mechanical clowns, jugglers, robots, and cartoon characters are just a few of the strange yet wonderful things you might see passing over head or adjacent your table.






Located next to a small booth is where the Snow White mural is found. Snow and four of the dwarfs are painted on the wall, but they're gathered around a spinning Ferris wheel which actually sits on a shelf.

Here's a few pics snapped with my cell phone.

A couple of Snow's forest friends join them. The bunny is on a pillar just to the right.

That's not all. If you happen to look up above the mural, sitting on another shelf is a Snow White forest diorama.

I came across this short video on youtube showing the atmosphere of the place...

Holiday Display in Hong Kong Mall

Telford Plaza is a nearly 900,000 square foot shopping center located at the heart of Kowloon East in Hong Kong. Back in 2006, photographer totoro n_n captured images of the mall's holiday displays which included some nice-looking Snow White setups.

Snow joins the other Disney princesses as they descend the stairs in this arrangement. The figures look to be around 4' tall and molded possibly from hard plastic. I really like the angular designs of the faces.

In another area, this banner was used as a backdrop to a Snow White cottage scene.

Snow hangs holiday decorations as the Dwarfs are gathered around.

There was a Little Mermaid display as well.

Dwarf Mural at WDW Christmas Shop

The Disney's Days of Christmas store (Downtown Disney, Walt Disney World) is a place to get your holiday fix anytime of the year. And on the seventh day of Christmas, you'll find Seven Dwarfs a-mining. This mural with faux rock boarders is set behind a check-out counter.

In another section of the store, Snow White is part of an ornament display along with Cinderella, Ariel and Belle.

The "Twelve Days of Christmas" theme can be found throughout. This Three Li'l Pigs mural stands in the center of the the shop.

It wasn't snowing in Orlando on my last visit in May, but it sure did rain a lot.

The tradition of using animated window figures on Main Street started at Disneyland in the 1960s. These window "books" give a little history...

This Disneyland Emporium diorama has been on exhibit since the 50th anniversary of the park in 2005. It features the original figures that were used years ago in early window displays. Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio and Peter Pan are represented here...
