I have two thoughts on this...
I personally like the clutter and chaos of the BIG
DISNEY STORE - it's like one more immersion for me. I like to walk from room to room, and suddenly see something I didn't see the other five times I strolled through...It was my primary purpose for going DOWNTOWN - I know, it's not called that anymore, but I still think of it that way.
- BUT -
Since everything here is available at almost EVERY other Disney store - the big ones in the parks and the small ones in the resorts - I have to say that I really don't plan a visit unless I'm going to the Springs for another reason - and that has rarely happened in the last several years.
If they turn the World of Disney store into yet another mall-type store, I just won't waste the time during my trip - I'll buy online.
