Amazing it didn't happen 10 years ago!

 

[Gitson Shiggles]

About time!

Never knew there was a PH store. Lol.

 

[Herbie]

Glad...

What was there originally?

Hopefully no one loses their job, but I never understood the purpose of this store in DHS. Was very odd.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Yay!!

Planet Hollywood is almost dead! I've already crossed All Stars off my list. Next is Hard Rock.

I am sure I have been in the store, but never realized it has a connection to PH.

It's got Planet Hollywood signage all over the exterior. Kind of surprised people never noticed it. Granted I've never been inside.

The shop hasn’t been updated in years, I was in there during my December 2018 and there were posters that read coming soon from the early 2000’s ...

It’s time for a change. The store is always empty anyway.

I do believe it was to be the entrance/store for the failed David Copperfield Magic Underground restaurant...

When is this board going to see that the man above in a bow tie was not evil. I am in Vegas right now with Copperfield down the street. He is still making money, the restaurant would have been nice but being thankful that the retail store is closing because one doesn’t like it is not nice. May those wishing and enjoying it have bud light carts at every corner in the magic kingdom.

When will the Legends of Hollywood expansion open?

 

[Marc Davis Fan]

Great to hear of this change. Fewer outside company names = more immersion.

 

[WondersOfLife]

It had some cool props though... You'd never expect to find a Gremlins puppet at Disney World.

I uh.. don't quite see how you drew that conclusion there. Any of those conclusions, in fact.

Unfortunate but always thought it was weird that there was a PH store without a restaurant attached.

There is a weird anomaly like that next to the University near my town. There is a 7-Eleven convenience store with no gas pumps directly next to a Mobil convenience store with gas pumps. You would think that the 7-Eleven would have been put out of business. They are still going strong. Also, there is a 7_eleven near me that has branded Sunoco gas while all the other 7-Elevens are self branded. Weird stuff. Not that co-branding is weird like Circle K store with BP Gas. Just weird specifically with 7-Eleven brand as you usually never see it that way, at least in my experience.

Growing up in the north (specifically Northern New Jersey), 711' do not really have gas pumps up there. I was surprised to see 711 branded gas when I moved to Orlando.

The company that owns PH is poop right now so I'm wondering if this decision was purely financial since they're hurting (I imagine there was some money being paid to occupy some seriously hot merch real estate, right?)
