At a glance
New Century Notions Flora’s Unique Boutique stands at the entrance to Main Street U.S.A. Its name pays tribute to Flora Call Disney, Walt’s mother: the floor mosaic at the entrance shows an "F" surrounded by the date 1888, the year Walt Disney’s parents married.
The architecture follows the late nineteenth-century Victorian style: a frontage with a pink sign and striped awnings. Inside, you’ll find wooden floors, pastel tones, carved woodwork, coloured stained glass and lit display cases. The windows show vintage travel items, an inkwell desk, black and white photo frames, crockery, antique furniture and old books. The old period telephone from the previous shop has been kept as decoration.
The shop specialises in seasonal products, in line with the park’s big moments: Halloween, Christmas and spring. The range includes Disney ears, soft toys, costumes, toys, figurines, pins, mugs, fridge magnets, pens, clothing and souvenirs mixing Disney and Paris (Eiffel Tower miniatures, suitcases, snow globes, jigsaw puzzles), plus photo printing and Disney PhotoPass+ services. An indoor passage links the shop to the neighbouring Boardwalk Candy Palace.
A mosaic tribute to Flora, Walt Disney’s mother. At the shop entrance, the floor mosaic shows a capital "F" surrounded by the date 1888, the year Walt Disney’s parents married: a tribute to Flora Call Disney, his mother. The shop mainly sells rotating seasonal items and offers the Disney PhotoPass+ service, a legacy of the former Town Square Photography it replaced in 2014.

Best time to visit
Go at park opening or mid-afternoon, away from parade time. The seasonal range changes with the park’s seasons.

Your questions about this shop
01 Where can you shop for Disney merchandise at Disneyland Paris?
You have four main options: the shops in Disneyland Park (mainly on Main Street U.S.A. and in each land), the shops in Disney Adventure World, the shops in Disney Village (no park ticket needed) and your hotel shop if you’re staying at an official Disney Hotel. I go through the main shops in my dedicated article.
02 Can you shop without carrying your bags all day?
Yes. The Shopping Service lets you have your purchases sent to a collection point, to pick up later in the shop, or as you leave the park in another shop, or even in the shop at your Disney Hotel. The service is free in most shops (above a minimum spend). Just ask the sales assistant when you pay.
03 What are the shops’ opening hours?
The shops in the parks roughly follow the parks’ opening hours, often opening a little earlier on Main Street U.S.A. and closing a little later after the night-time show. The Disney Village shops have their own opening hours, usually later into the evening. The exact times are in the Disneyland Paris app.
04 Can you order Disneyland Paris merchandise online?
There’s no official Disneyland Paris online shop. To buy from home, you can go to the Disney Store website (formerly shopDisney), which sells official Disney merchandise and sometimes a few Disneyland Paris-specific products. At the resort, you buy directly in the shops.
