Yep the front of it is just flashy. Very convention and very un-Disney.

good point about "very convention" - Coronado is a convention resort so I can see it playing well with that crowd

Bummer - my daughter is the perfect age for the Disney Junior Show we miss both the old one (I assume the old one is already closed down) and the new one -- will have to catch it next year.

Not sure about these. Not least of which because Beats are pretty awful.

I do like those. I do agree that Beats solo quality isn't good. I do really like my PowerBeats though.

Makes me sad to live in Canada whenever I see the price of FL resident passes! (Almost...)

Don't you mean anywhere else but Florida? 13 years ago when I moved here the resident pass was 215.......

A couple of days ago I got a touring plan alert that MK closing hrs were pushed to 11pm for my early December trip. And considering how booked up the hotels have been even 6 months ago when I added 2 days to the front end of my trip actually has me rather nervous for crowds in the beginning of December....

I have the same concern as I go at the beginning of december

My girls will be so excited! We arrive on Dec. 22nd and staying at BC so we may be visiting HS more than we planned to!

I hate to be cynical but I wonder how many of those are flippers who will go straight home and put them up on EBay.

Plus Disneyland is letting people get 2 per person. Disney World is limited to 1 per person per day.

(Someone else mentioned something about this that I didn't notice. But still. I don't agree with how they handle that.)

So I forgot to mention after my recent trip...

World of Disney store at Disney springs sucks after the renovation.

It really does make me think Disney is changing it's Target audience from families to adults.

What kid is like...ooh Mommy look at the exposed brick I want to make a purchase here!

When I was little I wanted to go into the Disney store at the mall because it had all the characters and the interesting, colorful displays.

They basically took all the Disney fun out of that place.

Even less reason for me to go to DS... That was the only attraction for me there, but since you can mostly get any of the merch in any other store in parks or resorts, there is no reason, for me anyway, to waste the time in transportation there and back. Too bad.

Maybe it's me, but I doubt any kid is looking at the décor. Their primary interest is going to be the merchandise.

I know the one in Austin, Texas still has the old style display too.

I actually did like one of the new Disney centric stores, I think Disney style? It had some original, neat, park centric shirts.

I would have got an orange bird shirt but it was pink. Dunno whose decision it was to make an orange bird shirt pink but I suppose they're the professional.

Maybe it's me, but I doubt any kid is looking at the décor. Their primary interest is going to be the merchandise.

I did when I was little. Maybe I was an odd kid. I was always drawn to the entryway that had the pirates in jail.

The Mall of America one (at least last Spring when I was there last) seems to have more Marvel decor than Disney Classic decor now....

To your point:

In St. Louis, we have access to more than one Disney Store. One is the new style, one is still the old style.

My 9yo daughter had a Disney gift card and we tried out the new-styled one, for the first time. She literally did not want to buy anything because she didn't like the way the store looked. She wanted to go the other one for the decorations she was used to. The next day we went to the old-styled one and she spent her gift card on the same products that she could have bought at the first store.
