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 flame within me to honor her memory in a meaningful way. My aunt and I shared many joyful moments, one of which was my dream to Visit the Disney Store in Glendale Galleria in Summer 2027.  It was what got me started with collecting Disney Store Plushies in 2019.

Unfortunately, 3 years later, on July 14th 2021, the Disney Store at Glendale Galleria was Permanently closed, following decisions made under the greedy leadership of Bob Chapek ending the store's enchanting presence that had started on April 29th 2012. It was known as the "Imagination Park store Concept," a special place that delighted the Glendale 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, with a heartfelt request: reopen the Disney Store in Glendale galleria once the Disney Store temporary pop up stores become a success once Disney announces that both of them (With same ones opening later in the year) are a financial success and then 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 Glendale California families.

This isn't just about opening a Beloved store; it's about restoring a beloved landmark and bringing hope and happiness back to the 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.

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. 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 want to bring the store back just like it always had been there in our hearts since the Year the Disney Store in Glendale Galleria Permanently closed in 2021 due to less Disney Stores in the U.S.A becoming a thing During 2021 and finishing one year later in a few other U.S. States because of Bob Chapek, if You all remember, The Former Disney CEO that got fired at end of year December 2022, (how could we all forget, lol)  who lacked Imagination and creativity and the One along who started the Disney Store closing war along with Disney Management who then thought they could quietly seal The Disney Store's deadly fate at the Glendale Galleria without warning the Cast Members in Advance who worked there or warn guests in the city of Glendale as a sick joke so that we, The Undersigned wouldn’t notice and nobody would find out what Bob Chapek + Disney Management had done.  

But in now Realizing Bob Chapek’s dumb  Mistake, Please join me in urging Josh D'Amaro to bring back this beloved store that Bob Chapek closed and one that Disney Management failed to keep this store open and destroyed and ruined the former cast members Jobs. Let’s Allow all of us to work together to make a place of wonder and joy return to Glendale Galleria. Your signature on this petition will make a difference and help turn all of our Crushed dreams 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 Chapek's naughty wrongdoings from Closing 227 Nationwide Disney Stores from March to September 2021 in the U.S.A, Canada and Internationally. 

We appreciate all the help we can Get folks!!

let’s make Walt Disney and my Aunt Proud again!!

Please And Thank You!!!

-Sincerely, the Zizza Family.
