It's not necessarily the fact that I can get the items outside, that would be a given. However the experience of buying the item inside the park is what would make it cool. It's just like getting a antenna topper or fridge magnet from The Emporium which I could've also purchased at World Of Disney, same item but it's just much cooler purchasing it from inside the park.
Only the in park Starbucks that are franchise locations. The DTD are Starbucks operated.Starbucks are Disney CMs. Different product but same kinda thing I'd think. Seems the Disney Springs tenant watch can move to the parks in the future. Parks Tenant Watch.
Now this would've been cool. Stay true to the themed merchandise, but mix it up. I thought the previous shop had unique, interesting stuff - I've bought there before on several occasions. If they had gone the JC route, I'd have probably gone in and bought more (it's one of my favorite rides, after all). But SH? Yeah, no.
Exactly; it's basically just giving up. It requires no imagination to throw a third-party in there. Heck, they could've sold Frozen merch instead and it would do better, strictly by numbers.
Yes and No. This is in the same year they opened Marketplace Co-op and Memento Mori.
Personally? I go to the mall or local stores to shop. I go to WDW for the fun and entertainment. I can buy stuff at home, I cannot ride PoTC at home though. I have to confess that I am one of the reasons that those store go out, whether it be generic or themed. I just plain do not buy merchandise at a theme park. It's way to expensive. My memories are in my mind. If my mind loses those memories, I'm not going to remember what those items represent anyway. But, I realize that is me. Shopping and vacation are two completely different things to me. When doing either one, I am not thinking about the other.
