Dr Who coming to Epcot and other news

Noticed tonight on the Christmas episode of Dr. Who entitled "The Snowmen" that his new sidekick Clara starts out the episode working at the Rose and Crown in 1892 London. I am assuming that is a little nod to WDW/EPCOT.

It was believed to be a nod to Rose Tyler and Donna Noble... Rose and Crown.

Any Epcot connection seemed like just a happy coincidence to me... of course I can dream that it was the first deliberate hint of a DW attraction -- a ride aboard the TARDIS -- at the UK pavilion.

universal has a better chance at a DW ride at this rate sadly... unless disney listens to us ;)

Back to the OP... Has anyone actually seen Dr. Who merch at the UK Pavilion yet?

I walked through all of the shops this past weekend and didn't see the Dr. Who merchandise. I was actively looking for it, but it is possible I just missed it as it was fairly busy. I never got a chance to check a few months ago when this was first mentioned, so I wasn't sure if it already sold out or just hasn't made it yet.

I know you can find a lot of items at places like Spencer's and Barnes & Noble, but it would be fun to see a nice selection (more than just shirts too) at the UK pavilion.

Oh, the shirts are there. I held them in my hands but regretfully I wasn't as impressed as I'd hoped to be.
I don't know, I'm not a big "Tell 'em where you been with a T-Shirt" kind of guy.
Had the shirt with the T.A.R.D.I.S. not advertised DOCTOR WHO on it I would certainly have bought one.

My feelings are, if you don't know what the police box is on my shirt, I don't want to talk to you about The Shadow Proclamation. Noob.

That's kind of neat, but I think it could use a little more synergy:

Yoda knows this, but for others...Mitsukoshi is major retailer in Japan. Their Tokyo store in the Ginza district is a huge department store that carries (seemingly) everything. So they know how to run a store and know where to get merchandise that is truly popular in Japan. Which, I think, is why I always like the stuff in that store.
and why we can get some awesome Ponyo merchandise!
