I've mentioned this in other threads, but it seems to get buried in discussion of blue alien sex kittens, Mater and his hometown and my motives, so I thought it was deserving of a thread of its own.
Seems like the best shop TPFKaTD-MGMS has ever had and a place I have spent thousands of dollars at in the past may well be on the way out. It was locked up tightly well before park closing numerous nights last week.
About half the merchandise and display tables are gone. More ominous, the photo of the man who played Sid until his death a few years back is gone. And when the shop has been open, there's usually just one CM manning it.
I've asked and the CMs there know nothing about Disney turning it into a vinyl and pin hut (they'll need to replace the BAH locale when that finally comes down) or a Duffy shop or even the park's Starbucks as a friend's young brother hypothesized.
But it would be tragic to lose one more piece of another WDW park's soul.
Anyone out there actually know the real story?
Talked to folks at Guest Relations, but they either really don't know or they're spinning the company line.
