ORLANDO-Mickey and Minnie Mouse are getting neighbors. Walt Disney World and Hasbro Inc. are jointly planning to break ground next year on an estimated $3 million toy store in the Downtown Disney Marketplace at Lake Buena Vista, FL.

In the first alliance of its kind, the Pawtucket, RI-based manufacturer becomes the official toy and game company for Florida’s Walt Disney World, Disneyland in Anaheim, CA and Disneyland Paris.
