I hope so. My sister and I have actually wanted something like this. Being young women, and loving Disney, we've always wanted them to have clothes at WDW that were a little, um, more appropriate our age and style. If they did it right, it could be a huge moneymaker.
Cheesy name, though.

"A breathtaking shopping experience." ?????? Breathtaking???! Really!! Such awe-inspiring words for a store. Better hope Disney installs some AEDs nearby.

The term "trendy" scares me a little when it comes to Disney. The company obviously proved that they are trendy with the tween set but when it comes to the Urban Outfitters crowd, I'm not sure. For proof, check Sunset Couture at Disney's Hollywood Studios. They have a t-shirt there with a label from a company called Block 28 4 Disney. The t-shirt features a Mickey-like face, very stylized version of the mouse witht he bottom of the classic Mickey t-shirt with the red shorts. But his body is being pulled apart with what looks like squid tentacles and the helm of a ship with a stylized version of Pluto at the front.
To me, I find it a bit violent and a little too disrespectful to Mickey. I am all for Disney icons being looked at in an urban setting, for instance I enjoy the men's tees they sell now with the green army men, however I don't think they need five different styles of them. But I think the Block 28 4 Disney tees do not belong. Anyone else see them?

Oh man. I loved Summer Sands. I hope Trend-E proves to be a store with more stylish Disney-inspired stuff but also has a good selection of non-Disney fashions. I love love love to shop but I don't want to buy everything Disney while I'm there. I like to pick up a few pieces that aren't of the mouse.
Now that I think about it, I noticed more than one shop where you could find merchandise similar to what Summer Sands had. The Bou-Tiki at the Polynesian has some Roxy stuff but they also carry a lot of Tommy Bahama as well as some other similar but not as expensive stuff. Also, when walking from the hub to PotC, I don't know the name of the shop but it's on the right just past the place where you get the Dole Whips and the restrooms. Aaand, at DTD there's Sammy Duval's Curl which is all surf/skate type brands. There was tons of the standard labels in there like Roxy, Kyra, Billabong, etc. They even carried Uggs (which were all on sale).

Disneyland's DTD already has a store like this but its called Vault 28. They sell the same type of thing there however the prices were a little steep. Wonder how people will feel when they see a t-shirt is $88. Haha.
Heres a link if you want to check out Vault 28's website.

I couldn't agree more!! I think this is a smart move for Disney, if it's anything like Vault 28 I'll be super excited! I love Bou-Tiki and Curl because you can get the standard brands and it not be 100% Disney related merch. Smart move Disney, very smart, you can bet I'll be buying stuff there

It sounds like it might be an East Coast Vault 28. But why not just use the Vault 28 name and brand instead of creating something new?
If Tren-D really is a Disneyland Valut 28 type of concept, I wonder how the East Coast demographic will react to that sort of thing, and those high Vault 28 price points?
There's a big difference between Southern California and the Midwest.

There might be a difference, but fashion is a niche market regardless. Even in the Midwest, stores like Saks and Nordstrom's do fine. Besides, there are plenty of non-Midwestern tourists visiting.

Thank you, thank you. Try the veal.
Really.
And actually, this seems like the best place to buy Vinalmations. Hopefully they'll make a "Retro Collection" re-releasing the old ones in 5 years?
