JetBlue always gives me PreCheck for free for some reason... Idk if they do it for everyone but I highly recommend JetBlue...

I think it's due to what side of the terminal your on as many stores have duplicates like Universal, Sea world and Kennedy space center..
Exactly. There’s one store for gates 1-59, and another for gates 60-120. I’ve found myself buying things on the way out that I didn’t see in one of the multitude of theme park stores. Or several bags of white chocolate covered Mickey pretzels for my carry-on.

Also, they carried different items per store so while you were unable to find a shirt at earport they might have it at Magic of Disney.Exactly.

That’s what I was going to say, I had never visited the store that is being removed so by having both stores they don’t miss any potential customers.

Think I miss the moving walkways more than I'll ever miss the second Disney store. The sidewalks were very handy if flying in on the end opposite from M.E.
The one thing I'd really like to see improved, other than TSA of course, are those buttugly, bolted down rattan chairs they have on the car rental level. They've been there forever - smell like it too.

Thanks for the tour!
One thing though, in all of the pics I've seen over the weekend, I haven't seen a place for brochues/ guide maps. Do the stores not carry them any more? They used to be at the checkout at both WDW, SW, and UO Stores at MCO.

The new design is so generic that the store has the look of a temporary pop-up. Change the display screens and signage and it could easily become a Go! Calendars, Games & Toys. Instead of Magic of Disney, it should simply be called Merchandise of Disney.

I can remember taking my young daughter to the Disney store in Buffalo(Walden Galleria back in the 90's). It is long gone, but we could go in there while the wife shopped, and spend an hour just walking around, and buy a trinket or two. This new store looks so sterile, it almost looks like a place you wouldn't be allowed to bring kids in.

I'm not sure what an "earport" is but that is not a very good pun unless it's actually a Disney airport?
Honestly the most interesting thing about the store is the HVAC ducts, old 1980's track lighting and wondering what all the other conduits are for, probably electricity, water, and sewer. Isn't Soarin one that has a big poop pipe running above the line?

I believe earport is one of the names of the Disney stores at Orlando International Airport

It is. It's the other store in MCO, I think it is also supposed to be refurbed/reconfigured in the near future as others have said.
Disney's Earport? It's not hard to see that it's a play on words at MCO.
Darn it. I was just at MCO on Saturday, didn't realize the new store was open or I would have wandered over there. But from the pics, I would have been disappointed, as I vehemently dislike this new "modern bland industrial look" that is pervading many retail stores these days.
