SALT LAKE CITY - City Creek has 90 stores to choose from but there is a favorite that stands out among kids and adults - the Disney store.
If the kids are begging for a trip to Disneyland, it might be a good substitute. It's much more than just a shopping destination.
"This is just a thrill to be in the brand new mall and to open with such a fantastic store," said district manager Lori Pulliam.

City Creek Center opens amid fanfare and long lines
After years of anticipation, downtown Salt Lake City's newest crown jewel of shopping and economic development opened to much fanfare Thursday.It's not just a place to pick up Disney swag. The store is interactive. They're calling it the Imagination Park: Different areas are themed after classic Disney tales, and there is also a theater where the kids can watch movie clips.
"It's highly innovative," Pilliam said. "Also very interactive while keeping the magic."
Of course, it wouldn't be Disney without a little magic mixed in.
"Children can pass through the tunnel of the castle and go in front of the magic mirror and wave a wand and a princess will appear," Pulliam said.
