There it is. They finally made a sleeveless shirt for @marni1971

Can they not ban these scalpers. Most are probably AP holders anyway and surely they would be able to track it from the discount used?

they can, they just don't want to because scalpers provide a source of consistent income (and a lot of it) and raise the sales numbers for each individual store

like it or not but disney is welcoming the scalpers with open arms while trying to pretend that they're against them

why is the entrance arch yellow? I thought yellow was the colour of World Showcase, and Blue the colour of World Celebration?

I may be mistaken, but I believe the colors are being used for the types of operations. I saw a sign denoting a restaurant
in blue, and the yellow was used for a store.

This may have been said before. But this looks like an Apple Store to me.

the point is to make the merchandise stand out so that your eye is drawn to it and not the stuff surrounding it

the point of the store is to sell things, not look nice

Yes this is the plan - similar to the changes made at World of Disney at Disney Springs.

This place looks so plain and boring.
Must be the same designer that did World of Disney at Disney Springs.
I guess it is a lot cheaper for Disney to not have to include any form of theming. Good thing Disney isn't known for there quality theming.

But how much would you have to pay him to wear that abomination?

So when people aren’t drawn into the store and walk past it… how much stuff do they sell?

I'm a bit surprised at the lack of inclusive body types and abilities in these mannequins tbh. Especially with all of the talk of inclusivity from TWDC lately.

It's not very contemporary or forward-looking to have exclusively sample size mannequins.

 

[Communicore]

At the ex-Communicore store right about now. I dunno but it feels kinda temp-ish even if it isn’t.

Resellers don’t count.

It’s $lappie’s dream! People looking at merch instead of decor. All that character and ambiance just detracts from sales opportunities. Gotta keep focused on the bottom line, stock analysts and shareholders come first.

 

[Thelazer]

Look it's a Starbucks, er hotel lobby, er target store.. or err...
Oh well, I've given up on most of Epcot, outside of the entrance area (the ONE THING) they have gotten right (by dusting off the old blueprints)

THAT Mickey mural I actually like a lot. The other one is just weird looking.

Am I the only one who's getting "discount department store" vibes from the bottom photo?

I don’t know what a discount department store is. Is that like a Big Lots? Big box store? If so, not really. Shelves would need to be higher.
