Firehouse Gift Station Is Closing On July 10
 
Tuesday, June 14th, 2011
 
 
The Firehouse Gift Station located in the Firehouse on Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom will be closing on July 10. This very unique gift shop offers items, such as fireman gifts, personalized fire chief badges and firefighter bobble heads. The merchandise that this shop offers will still be available at the Emporium.

According to reports, the exterior of the Firehouse will remain the same, but the future for the interior has yet to be decided. One report said the 3 die penny press machine will be staying. However, from past history when something like this happens, we know that there is a good chance that the pressed penny machine will end up being removed.

Main Street Fashion Apparel
 
Sunday, May 15th, 2011
 
 
We recently reported that the Hall of Champions store at Magic Kingdom had been changed to Main Street Fashion Apparel. While this is partly true, it appears that the store has been split into two stores even though they are together. On one side, and over the door as you enter the store, it has Main Street Fashion Apparel. On the other side, it still has Hall of Champions over the door as you enter the store. Since both machines are located on the Hall of Champions side, our listings will contain this as the location for both machines.
