Cool shades |
Disney Marketplace Walt Disney World Resort Orlando, FL 32830 United States +1 407 827 0110 http://disneyworld.disney.go.c... |
In Florida, sunglasses take on more than fashion-forward importance. They're needed not only to keep eyes safe from near-constant sunshine but also to ease the strain of the sun's glare. There's no reason, however, why you can't combine the therapeutic with the cool. Enter this eyewear studio, owned by Barry Franzblau, the proprietor of a California store that has served celebrities for years. Celebrity offers a broad assortment of sunglasses from such designers as Revo, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Gucci and Ray Ban. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Ahh, she knew she shouldn't have, but she took a bite anyway, and Snow White's adventure began. Her tale comes to life at this store designed to look like the wicked Queen's Dungeon. The sales clerks, who dress in medieval garb, use only Old English when speaking to customers. With more than two hundred varieties of candy available, it is safe to assume that there's something here for every sweet tooth and budget. Treats range from 40 cent items to molded Disney characters and a more expensive five-box assortment of chocolates. Review © 2007, Wcities |
