MK Prairie Outpost in Frontierland to reopen soon as a hat shop

[Ayla]

Is there any outside indicator this is, in fact, now open? A sign on the sidewalk, open doors, etc? Otherwise, I'd just assume this entire stretch of storefronts were still closed from 2020 and keep on walking.

Looks great, stays in theme, adds retail diversity, opens a shuttered venue, no complaints

All we need now is a cigar shop* and we're back in the '30's...

* I specifically avoided the term "tobacconists" because if I say that -- well, you know what will happen

I love this, a relatively unique merchandise store.

agree, but I wish management would get on the same bandwagon, they do this really nice yet the emporium is awful.

Yes doors are open.

Oh really? Because I really value their opinion...

Did they repaint the signage? Could have sworn it was a more aged yellow? The white really stands out, and not in a good way. It seems like they've done little if anything to draw guests in or inform them of the shop's offerings. Probably could have zhuzhed it up a bit. Oh well.

Are there really that many people looking to buy hats while in the park? The people running Disney are so out of touch with actual people.

Variety is good, even if it’s not optimized to contain things that every guest will want. Relentless replacement of once-unique offerings with mouse ears and spirit jerseys is how we’ve gotten to the sad place we have with merchandise basically everywhere that isn’t World Showcase.

What kind of store would you reccomend in that location?

I look at it similar to the Sunglass Hut in Adventureland. It isn't going to break sales records, but it is nice for guests when they need one. Besides, we need more unique stores, not less.

Frontierland had a hat shop for decades, so I guess Disney was out of touch back then too?

Leather fedoras aren't as popular as straw or pith, though...

Especially semi-aquatic egg-laying mammals of action.
