That German tourist with the manbun and his traveling companion with the mullet are so immersed they don't even know where they are.

The thing with this concept is that it's just done so cheaply and temporarily. This was an easy thing to do, move some random displays and a cash register in there, turn up the lights and hope the dollars roll in.
This Cinema junk looks slapped together and under-funded and designed to last three months. That's not cool.
Bob Chapek is really taking the parks in a bad direction. They just opened a new shop in Toy Story Land out in WDW, and it looks like a cross between a dentist's office and a strip mall toy store.
I don't get the big deal. It's supposed to look like a Toys R Us that's on the verge of closing, right? WDI hit that concept out of the park! It's only missing the water soaked ceiling tiles and scuff marks on the floor but I'm sure those will happen naturally due to

You're pulling our legs with this picture, right? There is no way they would do something this awful, right?Bob Chapek is really taking the parks in a bad direction.

If you threw the toys on the ground, I would just as soon believe this is a picture of the toy section at Ross.The thing with this concept is that it's just done so cheaply and temporarily.

To be fair the entire Toy Story building in Florida looks like that inside. Low ceiling. Looks and feels terrible all around.

I see Disney is knocking off that cheap little toy store in Fashion Island that stole their Toy Story logo.The thing with this concept is that it's just done so cheaply and temporarily.

Yes, it's for real. It just opened last week, as the new gift shop at the exit of Toy Story Midway Mania in Toy Story Land. It's really real.
Bob Chapek has immersed you!

Wow.
We should do something about this.
Actually do something. This is the future of the parks.

They atleast painted the ceiling tiles to be checkered. There was some effort there. The store didn't even go that far. Just nail some props to the walls, some cheap shelving, and done. I never expect much out of TSL but this is really crap.
Still haven't been to DL but them doing this total, low effort store thing to the cinema is heartbreaking.

I would never stick my neck out to save WDW (except for Tower of Terror).

My take on this...
It is a direct consequence of DLR being so heavily dominated by local APs, and an indirect consequence of today's overcrowded state. Main Street cinema is not going to make the "must see" list for many out-of-towners. Those peeps have paid through the nose for limited time in the parks and just don't have time for a supplementary attraction like this. Too many other big things to do. Time is short. Lines are long. The kids are anxious.
The only people frequenting this place are the locals who can drop in whenever, without feeling like they're wasting time or missing something else. And, from Disney's perspective, the name of the game is pushing the APs annual spend as high as they can get it. Ergo, more shops go up in places like this that APs are known to inhabit with greater frequency. Bust out the wallets passholders! Those earnings-per-share increases don't create themselves.

Supposedly the TSMM shop is temporary, I guess we'll see. Temporary has a different meaning at Disney sometimes.... They specifically call it a pop-up shop, though.

This one in Main St Cinema seems to me like a pop-up shop as well.

Oh, don't you worry, my naive little friend. By the end of summer, they'll post a candy-coated announcement on the Parks Blog that'll go something like this: "Due to popular demand by our valued Guests, our Main Street Cinema pop-up shop will become a permanent and exciting new addition to Disneyland Park!"
Did you learn nothing from Alien Pizza Planet and Red Rose Taverne? Temporary is temporary until it isn't.
