点评:There are experiences that feel like purchases—and then there are experiences that feel like magic. Our Toy Soldier Experience at FAO Schwarz, before store hours, was unquestionably the latter.
This is a ticketed experience (paid admission), and it is absolutely worth the cost. Because it takes place before the store opens, the crowd size is very small and intimate—just a handful of families—so you are not fighting crowds or noise. Instead, you have space to move, look, listen, and truly take it all in.
Walking into FAO Schwarz before the doors opened felt like stepping into a living storybook. The lights, the music, the iconic aisles—all of it felt entirely ours for a brief, perfect moment. For my family, this wasn’t just a visit to a legendary toy store; it was a memory we will carry forever.
What truly elevated the experience, however, was Toy Soldier Josh. Josh was extraordinary. From the moment we met him, he brought warmth, humor, professionalism, and genuine joy to everything he did. He made the experience feel personal, engaging, and special—never rushed, never scripted.
If you are considering this experience—do it. And if you’re lucky enough to have Toy Soldier Josh leading the way, know that you’re in the hands of someone who truly understands how to make magic real.
Thank you, FAO Schwarz, for preserving wonder in a world that needs it—and thank you, Josh, for being unforgettable.
翻译:有些体验感觉像是购物,而有些体验则感觉像是魔法。我们在FAO Schwarz玩具店开门前体验的“玩具兵体验”无疑属于后者。
这是一项需要购票的体验(需付费入场),但绝对物超所值。由于体验在商店开门前进行,人数很少,氛围也十分温馨——只有寥寥几个家庭——所以你无需忍受拥挤的人群和嘈杂的噪音。相反,你可以自由地走动、观察、聆听,真正地沉浸其中。
在FAO Schwarz开门前走进店里,仿佛走进了一本活生生的故事书。灯光、音乐、标志性的过道——在那短暂而完美的瞬间,一切都仿佛完全属于我们。对我的家人来说,这不仅仅是一次对传奇玩具店的探访;这是一段我们将永远珍藏的记忆。
然而,真正让这次体验锦上添花的是“玩具兵”乔什。乔什非常出色。从我们见到他的那一刻起,他就将热情、幽默、专业和真挚的快乐融入到他所做的每一件事中。他让整个体验充满个性化、引人入胜且独一无二——从不匆忙,也从不按剧本进行。
如果你正在考虑体验这项活动——那就别犹豫了。如果你有幸由玩具兵乔什带领,要知道你正与一位真正懂得如何将魔法变为现实的人同行。
感谢FAO Schwarz,在这个需要奇迹的世界里守护着奇迹——也感谢乔什,你带给我们的体验令人难忘。
