Disneyland Resort Announces First-Ever LittleMissMatched Permanent Retail
Store at Downtown Disney District

Temporary location open now

ANAHEIM, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Disneyland Resort is pleased to
announce an agreement for the first-ever permanent retail location of the
popular lifestyle brand LittleMissMatched. Due to open late summer 2009, it
will be situated in the heart of Downtown Disney. A temporary
LittleMissMatched store opened May 18, next to where the permanent store will
be located.

"We are excited that Downtown Disney was selected as the first bricks and
mortar location of this innovative concept," said Tony Bruno, vice president
Disneyland Resort hotels and Downtown Disney. "LittleMissMatched offers unique
merchandise for the young and young at heart, and is a terrific complement to
Downtown Disney's eclectic blend of shops, restaurants and entertainment." 

LittleMissMatched is a lifestyle brand dedicated to inspiring creativity and
individuality. The brand's signature non-matching socks are sold in sets of
three single socks to encourage self-expression through mixing and matching.
LittleMissMatched has since expanded its innovative product offerings to
include everything from books to bedding, PJs to pencil pouches and flip flops
to furniture -- each item with its own unique reinvention.    

"We're thrilled to open our first permanent retail location at Disneyland
Resort as Disney's values are completely aligned with LittleMissMatched," said
Jonah Staw, co-founder and CEO. "Disneyland is synonymous with imagination and
since LittleMissMatched revolves around encouraging creativity, this is an
ideal location for LittleMissMatched's flagship store."

A lush garden oasis during the day and an energizing entertainment district at
night, Downtown Disney is the high-energy place for Southern California
locals. Guests can experience a great variety of shopping, dining and
entertainment.
