Fun Finds in the Marketplace at Disney Springs is now closed for refurbishment.

When it reopens, the store will have a new name and will sell Star wars merchandise.

The Star Wars section of Once Upon a Toy will close on July 31 2017 to make way for a new experience.

In the same area, the Leather Kiosk has now closed.

Oh, thank God. More star wars. Just what's needed.

I don't think will be that much of a gain. Star Wars is moving out of Once Upon a Toy and into the store formerly known as Fun Finds.
Unfortunate that Wholesale Leather Goods is going away. That place has been there forever.
It would be nice if they themed it, but looking at the marvel store and some of the others I highly doubt it. If they themed it well I think it would be a great addition and maybe even have the trading jawas.
I love Star Wars, but isn't there already a SW store at DS?

There are stores that carry Star Wars products, but not one dedicated exclusively to Star Wars.

There is already an exclusive Star Wars store in the West Side. It's across from Starbucks.

I was just gonna say that! The Galactic Outpost, which replaced D-Street a couple years back. So I guess that begs the question, will Galactic Outpost stay or go? Would seem odd for them to have two SW dedicated shops. Hopefully we see something new in its place.

I was just in Disney Springs a few nights ago. I was disappointed with the Star Wars store. Hopefully they will have better items to chose from.

Agreed. Definitely could be better. My disappointment is that I would like to see more merch exclusive to that particular store. Give people a reason to go. I think the Fun Finds space is bigger, so maybe that will allow them to expand a bit on the selection.

That's what I was expecting when I walked into the store.

The Launch Bay at Hollywood Studios is the better shop, in my opinion. It has some of the cooler merch that Galactic Outpost doesn't have (at least when I was there last). They really need to make a hybrid of the two for the Springs shop.

I agree that Launch Bay has a better selection of one off type stuff. But I don't see the marketplace store being that sort of thing. It mainly just a new stuff home for what was inside once upon a toy.
Also if I'm paying theme park admission I expect better more unique Disney stores compared to marketplace. A lot of the stuff inside the parks should not be available outside in my opinion. For example in Momento Mori in Magic Kingdom there is some Haunted Mansion stuff that can't be found elsewhere.
I love Star Wars - always have.......but jeepers creepers in a few years time, it will feel that Star Wars will be all you see in Disney.

I understand they have spent massive coin to get Star Wars and its a money spinner but its gonna be hard for those people who generally aren't interested in it.
