Travel back through time as you enter a turn-of-the-century store offering the largest selection of souvenirs in all of Disneyland Park. From WED Disneyland Dictionary 1968: Emporium is an old-fashioned dry goods store, offering an outstanding selection of toys, imported china, unique gifts, distinctive Disney merchandise, photo supplies and other items.Located right at the end of the street as one is leaving the park it is ideal for last minute purchases
From Steve Birnbaum brings you the best of Disneyland 1982:
The wares in this sprawling establishment at the Town Square end of Main Street are by no means as old-fashioned as the mansard-roofed, tin-ceilinged, velvet-curtained setting might suggest. Sunglasses and designer handbags, china figurines and music boxes, T-shirts and sweat shirts, folding umbrellas and nylon totes, character hats, calculators and cassette recorders make up the bulk of the stock. There's a little bit of everything, and the variety and the selection are likely to please. In the doll corner, for example, there's not just one doll, but dozens, some inexpensive enough to take home on the spot and some so costly, with their corkscrew curls and handmade shoes, that only collectors can do more than admire.
China figurines come in all kinds of variations: Mickey Mouse appears as motorcyclist, skier, logger, bird-watcher, fire chief, football player, policeman, milkman, baker, and golfer; even Donald and Minnie are seen in an assortment of roles. Goofy, Pluto, Daisy, Lady, Tramp, the Dalmatians, Alice, the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and other familiar Disney figures also crowd the shelves.
