I am writing this petition with a heavy heart and a deep sense of purpose. In 2023, my aunt tragically passed away after taking her own life. This loss has left me grappling with severe depression, but it also ignited a permanent flame within me to honor her memory in a meaningful way. My aunt and I shared many Happy moments, one of which was my dream to Visit the Disney Store in Alderwood Mall with my aunt in 2013.
It was what got me started with collecting Disney Store Plushies in 2013 and beyond.

Unfortunately, 2 years later, in 2015, the Disney Store at Alderwood Mall was Permanently closed, following decisions made under the greedy leadership of Bob Iger ending the store's enchanting presence that it had started in 1995. It was known as the "Story-Book" store Concept, a special place that delighted the Park Meadows Mall community and visitors with its charming ambiance and unique Disney magic.

I am now reaching out to the current CEO of Disney, Josh D'Amaro, and the Vice President of DisneyStore.com and Disney Stores worldwide: Richard Childs, with a heartfelt request: reopen the former Disney Store in Alderwood Mall once the Disney Store temporary pop up stores become a success once Josh D'Amaro announces that both of them (With same ones opening later in the year) are a financial success and then Josh D'Amaro can rehire the former cast members on the Disney careers Website and the people who brought Disney's magic to life for so many years without failure. These cast members were not just employees; they were storytellers and memory-makers for countless Washington families who cannot afford to go to the Disney Parks today in California And Florida.

But this isn't just about opening a Beloved store; it's about restoring a beloved landmark back into the Mall and bringing hope and happiness and Prosperity back to the Alderwood Mall community. By reopening this store, we can once again bring smiles to everyone's faces, just as Disney Stores has done for us for decades.

Also we ask Josh D’Amaro as well as Richard Childs, to have the Disney Store in Alderwood Mall of to start selling small, Medium, Large And Jumbo/Giant Reusable bags when People checkout at the The Disney Store cash Register and Cast Members will ask if guests would like a reusable bag when they checkout with their items.

Reopening this store in memory of my aunt would be more than a tribute; it would be a symbol of love, cherished memories, and new beginnings, and having old memories from the Very Beginning. I believe that this project can positively impact countless lives just as it once did, and it would mean the world to me and many others who hold fond memories of this store who live in Washington who want to bring the store back just like it always had been there in our hearts since the Year the Disney Store in Alderwood Mall Permanently closed in 2015 due to less Disney Stores in the U.S.A becoming a thing During 2015 in a few other U.S. States because of Bob Iger, if You all remember, The Former Disney CEO that left in 2026 for lacking creativity and imagination, with Josh D'Amaro currently being the CEO in March 2026 and Bob Iger, the one who closed other Disney Stores from 2015 and then again in 2020 during the pandemic, and Bob Iger the one who lacked Imagination and creativity during his Tenure at Disney (and mind you, it wasn't just bob Iger at this time, it was Bob Chapek as well). And Bob Iger was the One who started the Disney Store closing wars in along with Disney Management who then thought they could quietly seal The Disney Store's deadly fate at the Aldereood Mall without warning the Cast Members in Advance who worked there and not warn guests in Advance in the Alderwood Mall as a sick joke so that we, The Undersigned, wouldn’t notice and nobody would find out what Bob Iger and Disney Management had done.  

But in the moment, in now Realizing Bob Iger's Cruel Mistake, now that bob Iger's left the Walt Disney Company for good,  Please join me in urging Josh D'Amaro & Richard Childs to bring back this beloved store that Bob Chapek so carelessly closed down and one that Disney Management failed to keep this store open due to the store Not getting a lot of financial support And business and the store got Closed Down and Bob Iger ruined the former cast members Jobs. Let’s Allow all of us to work together to make a place of wonder and joy and happiness return to Alderwood Mall by winter 2027. Your signature on this petition will make a difference and help turn all of our Crushed hopes back into reality once Again. Let's honor my aunt's memory with the magic she always treasured and celebrate her legacy. Sign and support our cause to fight back against Bob Iger and Disney Management's naughty wrongdoings for Closing the Disney Store in Alderwood Mall ever again on the Anniversary of the Disney Store in Alderwood Mall closing in May 2015 since my aunt Never got to Visit the Famous Alderwood Mall Disney Store a second time after she Passed away in April 2023.

We appreciate all the help we can Get folks!!

let’s make my Aunt Proud again!!

let's show Bob Iger and the Entire greedy Disney Management that they did not deserve to close Our favorite Disney Store in Alderwood Mall for those of us that live in the state of Washington and to show that they CAN reopen the Disney store in the Alderwood Mall.

Are You READY??LET'S GO!!

-Sincerely, the Zizza Family.
