Former NYC World of Disney

Does this count as a past attraction?

Anybody miss the old location? The Times Square one is nice but it doesn't have that special quality the former location did. Especially the art section.

Maybe it's because I was a child then or my preference for the 90's merchandise but I miss that place sorely.

Those escalators will never replace the old elevator.

Definitely the old one. The new one is just too sterile and small.

I also liked how the old store had pin trading

World of Disney was owned and operated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, not Hoop Retail (Children's Place subsidiary) or Walt Disney Consumer Products who owned/own the Disney Store. Closing World of Disney was supposed to be a way to let the new, again owned by Disney, Disney Store show off what was coming. A big mistake because the culture that took down the Disney Store, Disneyland and now is eating away at Walt Disney World remains highly entrenched at Walt Disney Consumer Products and remains clearly visible in the sterile "Imagination Park" stores.
