Because there just isn't enough candy and food at Sussigkeiten? That's right, Disney, take away the artistic portion of the pavilion and replace it with food because that's all stupid Americans can relate to.

Goebel's contract expired and they didn't renew.

Hmmm... well... mixed feelings on this news
On the good side... this shop sounds like it will be neat... and something authentically German and I look forward to seeing it once it is open (and sounds like somewhere I might frequent most trips)
On the bad side... it is replacing an "authentically German" shop and I will be sad to see it leave; however, if this is just the front part of the shop on that side (leaving the Christmas section intact) it personally won't be a big loss, as while I enjoyed looking in the shop, I don't think I have ever actually bought anything in there and only been tempted (but didn't buy due to price) a few things in it. I doubt if it sold much because it was pretty expensive... If the Christmas section disappears then I will miss that a lot more.
The one section of that store I wouldn't miss at all is the back part with all the Arrabis Bros glass... it is neat to look at; however, you can find it all over the place at WDW (and even outside at the outdoor stand in Germany)

Someone should lay off the caramel. :hammer:

- I like caramel.
- I greatly appreciate the artistic aspects of WDW.
- I am a proud citizen of the U.S.A.
- I am probably much smarter than you think.
- I try not to insult the nationality of others.

Heading for the great escape.
I donr remember caramel being particularly Germanic?? Pork cabbage and beer certainly, and Korn. Not the metalheads

can't wait to visit!
I can't wait to visit this new shop! My kids and I have serious sweet tooths (teeth? IDK.) and looovvveee caramel, so this is one place we'll definitely check out during our trip around the WS.:sohappy:

You are right... While Storck is a German company which makes rather nice candy, caramel isn't particular German at all! Of all the products listed that are going to be sold (caramel popcorn, caramel apples, caramel-covered strawberries and marshmallows, gourmet caramels, cookies, brownies, fudge and cupcakes), the only thing you can buy regularly in Germany are cookies! And possibly our version of caramel apples which are more sugar glazed with a red glaze than true caramel. :shrug: Most of the sweets listed will be identified by most Germans as truly American sweets (with the exception of fudge which we think is British - a country also known for toffee here in Germany which is a kind of caramel, isn't it?)!!
And even the name is not really German either: "Karamelle-Küche" isn't proper German. It either has to be Karamellküche (meaning a kitchen producing caramel in general) oder Karamellenküche (a kitchen producing caramel candies). The dash is all wrong, maybe Karamellen Küche could be acceptable... :brick:
I have always been rather impressed that the WS is much more authentic than people here in Germany think anything an American company like Disney could ever produce. But this is just that fake kind of authenticity which I always kept telling folks here that there wouldn't be... I am really sad about that.

Not old, just vintage.

I'm glad to know that Disney doesn't just stop at butchering the English language. :lookaroun :lol:

It's only being placed where the current Hummel shop is located which, by the way, has only been selling Disney character Hummel's for quite some time now so it's not exactly German authentic either.
Besides that I think people are looking too deep into the whole German conection and if it will fit in "authentically." Worse has happened. If you look at the barrette's in France you will notice a sticker on them that say "Made in China." Who cares? People still buy them.

Um, yeah. I've even been to Bastogne. But it would be "regionally correct" cuisine it seems like they could wedge a quick service stand in that little area near the new M&G.
It'd be a perfect answer to the crepes offered in France.

I want a place that sells Bienenstich. Well thats on my mind because I made one over the weekend.
Anyway, the loss of Hummels is no big deal to me. I don't particularly like them, though I like Llardo even less. The guy they have in every so often as a guest painter is pretty surly guy, at least the times I talked to him he was. Jutta on the other hand is great to talk to, very friendly and also wonderful with the kids (she would be the 'painted egg lady')

Were you under the impression that I was insulting a nationality? Were you insinuating that I am not a proud citizen of the USA? Caramel is neither here nor there, although it soon will be there apparently. I doubt anyone's actual intelligence came into play at any point in my post. Perhaps you should have put on your sarcasm glasses and then read my post.
