This makes me sad. I love Mickey's Pantry and it was always one of the few stores I had to stop in every visit to the Springs. Yes, I could find those items elsewhere, but I liked the atmosphere of the store and being able to find all of those items in one place. The Spice and Tea Exchange is nice, but it is not unique to Disney.

Sad to see it go, but Disney is looking forward to a nice bump in that pricey leased location!

I think most people buy it and don't consider how impractical some of the stuff is. I have a few items, but I actually can't think of anything Disney we use that often. The stainless Mickey hot pad really isn't used and I may try to hang it for decoration. Someone told us there's rusted and I'd like to know how they managed that. I keep passing on buying the flatware set, it's too thin (bendy).
I have 4.. ok 5 Disney coffee mugs, the Starbucks ones. That's all. I threw out all my other mugs. No more. Disney now has the resort mugs, but they are technically DVC mugs, so thankfully I'm less tempted to buy them. I don't need 50 mugs.

My mom bought the entire set of spoons, knives and forks years ago (like probably 15 years ago). We used them regularly while I was growing up and she still uses them. They're still in excellent shape. I'm sure like with other Disney parks merch, though, the quality has likely slipped over the years.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I have two of these:
One for fruit (and Hallowe’en candy apparently) and one for mail.
Two of these:
They are both a few years old, are used constantly, and have never rusted.
Two of these:
Also used constantly.
And one set of these:
Used only on the rare occasion that I am actually baking or cooking something that requires precisely measured amounts.
I have more than a dozen PUSH salt and pepper shakers, but only use one. The rest are displayed.
I also have 3 sets of the Mickey cutlery - one set in use, and two still in the box. This is the only product I find to be of mediocre quality. Everything else is very good quality and used daily.
The nice thing was, you could see merchandise here and there throughout the park but hold off purchasing (and lugging it through the parks) because most of it could be purchased at one central location at Mickey’s Pantry. I never had to wonder, “now where was that blah blah blah again?”
