PHOTOS - Temporary store to open during a major update to World of Disney at Disney Springs

[TheOrangeBird01]

I'm crushed, I've been looking forward to the Disney Corner since it opened, and it closes just a month before I make my trip out in December. Anyone know if the merchandise will be or is currently sold at World of Disney?

Am I missing something? There was nothing special about that store, it was all the same stuff you can find everywhere else. Its all in world of disney now anyway or will be.

Yes everything sold last Disney Corner is now back at World of Disney.

$1 - $2 for a reusable bag, that's the first time in years I've seen something at Disney with a normal price tag. The huge Ikea bags are $1.50. I hope they are the same water proof material.

I think the most interesting thing about The Disney Corner was that it was two floors. And it was just a cute little store that felt fresh and I liked the theming especially with the Princess stuff upstairs.

Fantastic job by Disney here. This new store looks infinitely better then the old design.

 

[Thenextimagineer]

Okay, I really like it. It’s so magical but not in a tacky way (like the previous design). Plus, it feels so much more roomy.

I think I wanted to hate it- but I actually kind of like it. I loved the whimsy of the old store but it felt very claustrophobic in there. It was definitely hard to navigate and find the rest of your family once you became separated. I like that they can promote new releases and change up the design rather quickly. I will miss Stitch and the giant figures, but I understand the motivation behind the change and it does look nice.

 

[Notes from Neverland]

I do enjoy the fact that the theming can change in almost no time. Christmas projections can become summer projections and give a totally different feel. The flexibility and changes should be fun to follow.

Stitch is still there in the outside compete with water effect.

It's not bad, but it's also not anything special. I can see how it's flexible, but I don't think it's particularly magical. I can't see myself spending much time there. The store was in need of refurbishment, but not like this. (Oh, and since age has come up several times in this thread, I'll state that I'm a millennial, which I guess means this is supposed to appeal to me.)

How's it "Magical"?

Merchandise that is more unique than anything they have done recently. And some of the wall and lighting effects.

What a nice way to say Stitch spits on you!

 

[Steph15251]

I have it on good authority that the lack of whimsy will drive Disney fans away and the store will always be empty.

I barely post on here but I went in world of Disney when it was almost fully open and imo it was not nearly close to being empty

 

[MrPromey]

Oh, yeah. Almost forgot...

SCREEENZZ!!!1!!

So do we get our 3D glasses on the way in or do we wait in a line somewhere for that?

I assume you’ve seen all the same photos and footage I have, so I’m going to have to put our disagreement about its magical-ness down to difference of opinion. That being said, I personally find it magical. I love the simplicity of the design and the effects. I also love the animation-themed area at the checkout. It reminds me a lot of the Animator’s Palate restaurant on the Disney Cruise Line.
