We always loose each other in this store as it is, bigger and we will spend even longer lost!

Which was probably their plan all along.

Is there a date for completion? I just have not been able to find one for this particular project. My feeling is that it's retail space and should move quickly but with the way somethings go I never know. Any One have an answer?

I go in the store then walk back out....WAAAAAY too many people in a small area.

because it just wasn't big enough to begin with...Lemme guess, 1/4 of the entire store, or more, will be frozen

Because the store is crammed full and needs more capacity for the crowds it gets. I'm sure there will be some new product but mostly just more space.

awesome!

From the artist rendering and construction photos it only looks as if they are adding entrances to the other side of the building since there will be other retail on all sides of the build eventually.

Frozen will probably have its own wing.

Meh - I doubt it.

Sarcasm Bolt, sarcasm.

they should have built another one on the west side

 

[LAKid53]

Oh great, now another 100,000 people will try to cram into the store! Eventually it will be like Walmart on Black Friday.

I'm really beginning to miss DLR.

I am also curious when the scheduled completion date is.

 

[MonorailLover]

Does anyone have an estimate of how much more time until completion? I can't really estimate myself with just pictures.

probably be done to coincide wit the opening of town center, sometime next year

Photo update as of Saturday, June 20.

As posted earlier, parts of the interior of the World of Disney store are being refreshed or changed. The east room (facing Basin) is now two rows of 10 checkout counters each, with lighted posts numbered 1 through 20 to indicate open or closed, for a total of 20 checkout counters. The center of the room is now two queues for these checkout stands, with grab-and-go trinket shelves.

Checkout stands 1-10.

Check out stands 11-20. The doors at the east end of the building are now EXIT only.

The doors at the east end of the building (facing Basin) are now EXIT only. Note there are no door handles and small labels on each door reading "Exit Only."

The World of Disney room at the northeast entrance (under Stitch), which recently was boy's toys, is now men and boy's clothing. The check out counters on the left side of this room are gone, replaced by merchandise. Note the removal of some freestanding shelves to provide a wide walkway into the room and directing traffic into the next room.
