I'm just going to assume any announcement starting with "_ coming to" will open "late 2019" at this point.

this makes me happy. I think there's a small Ron Jon shop in the Orlando Airport.
When I worked at Magic Kingdom, the locker that was given to me had a Ron Jon sticker in it from a previous user. Being new to Florida, I had no idea what that was til later.

I suppose this is likely the replacement for the store that closed at Artagon. Bit of a curious choice, this feels more of a fit for Universal but I'm sure Quiet Flight has a non-compete agreement with City Walk. I could see it doing well as Ron Jon is a very tourist heavy brand. At this kind of location maybe apparel and souvenirs would be more the focus over tons of boards and decks.

I'm slightly surprised Ron Jon's hasn't taken over the Typhoon Lagoon surf lessons to go along with this.

They used to be the instructors for the surf lessons, my sons used to do it every trip. Although that has been at least 6 years ago, since we tend to go when it's cooler weather now and they don't want to surf when it's chilly. Did this change?

Yay? LOL. Many years ago after seeing the hundreds of billboards all over the state (or at least I95) I finally made it to one - where I was promptly disappointed.
Kinda like South of the Border. "Pedro says 'keep driving amigo!'"

Totally agreed, there is nothing UNIQUE about Ron Jon, they sell all the same usual stuff as any common beach shop.

Exactly! And while it was a two-story shop, it wasn't as large as I expected, nor did it have anything particularly unique.
I did buy my Oakley "Thermonuclear Protection" T-shirt in thermochromic fabric at Disney Springs though!

Disappointed in Ron Jon's? The cocoa beach store is pretty cool. I used to go to ron Jon's when it was a little beach shack!Yay? LOL. Many years ago after seeing the hundreds of billboards all over the state (or at least I95) I finally made it to one - where I was promptly disappointed.

It is just a brand it they have done a good job of making it something people want. Certainly have done quite well from the little shack it started in.Exactly! And while it was a two-story shop, it wasn't as large as I expected, nor did it have anything particularly unique.

I don't recall which one I went to... Orlando or Clearwater perhaps? Like I said... Not that impressed.

If they put a wave rider into the store that would make it kinda cool, but don't think 10,000 sq ft is big enough for that.

We went in the Cocoa Beach one last June, DD9 about had her eyes bugging out of her head at all the girls clothes she wanted. I'll probably take her just to get a couple more dresses if she can't find ones she likes at the poly resort shop. Dang kid dresses like a rainbow threw up on her.
