Similar to Santa, you must go to sleep tonight and be surprised in the morning!

I'm not surprised one bit. That area of right block has been disused since 2009 when they stopped selling cameras and equipment. (death of kodak) They have cycled a few things through there to try different things including magic bands and Photopass but nothing really ever stuck around or was successful. I fully expect the two spaces to be combined into one and filled with more generic disney merchandise. The doorway to Five and Dime will probably be enlarged as well as it's kind of a bottle neck.

I know that was sarcasm but pretty sure they still sell disposables ;) lol

You can still buy them in 2003.

I've heard that Photopass will be moving into Sid Cahuenga's at some point as well.
