Is the reason for the retheming of the sweet shop to a TS shop is that having a gift shop in TSL would disrupt the theme of being in Andy's backyard? So put a gift shop somewhere outside the land instead.

That looks atrociously bland. Nothing about the interior seems to fit on Sunset.

If merch carts didn't disrupt the themeing I don't see why a store would.

Is imagineering no longer consulted on gift shop rethemings? Bc this has 0 charm to it

Disney has given up on everything they once excelled at, they don't care anymore. Get the merch in any space, no more correlation or theme, and stuff in as many people as they can, that is all that matters. This makes me worry about the new bakery in Norway.

It should also be noted that they are moving towards bland, featureless spaces at a moment when theming and complexity in merchandising spaces matters more than ever before.

The budget got cut so they couldn't afford to build a retail store in the land... yes... unbelievable.

FYI, In Character (The Shop next to Little Mermaid’s Entrance and Exit) has also been Toy Story-ed

Why are they turning Hollywood Studios into FrankenPark?

 

[wdwgreek]

I hate this, they took what was a cute, well themed store full of movie references and turned it into a cheap looking hallmark store. So sad.

That's relatively common. That place usually gets the latest children's IP taking it over.

For anyone that hasn't seen, the store was actually re-done. It's now just Toy Story merch. The signage and displays all changed and now it's exclusively Toy Story and nothing else. All the princess merch was moved to the Studio Store.

Does anyone know if they have the bucket of soldiers in the store?
