Target Disney Store shop-in-shop

Posted: Sunday August 25, 2019 2:14pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney and Target are joining forces to bring a Target store to Walt Disney World, and to open Disney Store "shop-in-shops" to Target stores nationwide.

Target and Disney are coming together for a project that includes the launch of 25 Disney stores within select Target stores nationwide on October 4, with 40 additional locations opening by October 2020.

The “shop-in-shop” will feature an enhanced Disney assortment of more than 450 items, including more than 100 products that were previously only available at Disney retail locations.

It's not just the website - it's in-store, too. I had thought it was the fault of a purchaser, but it turns out it's all automated...but things don't happen in real-time, so they often run out of stock in the store after the order has already been placed, so it doesn't make it onto the next arriving truck, so they're out of it for as long as a week. And this is in the grocery section...the part you'd think they'd want to keep adequately stocked.

I do 99.9% of my shopping in person so never had website issues.

About Walmart...they may seem like they have a better selection - When they aren't completely out of something or selling non-existent stock on their website. They have many of the same inventory issues the ShopDisney site has. It's terrible - and this was long before pandemic shortages and is an ongoing problem.

I’ve noticed this too, their stores have a terrible stock problem, Walmart is more stressful but usually has better selection

Meh - target keeps narrowing what they carry making it less and less reason to go there. Walmarts vary greatly in terms of their operation - but at least you can count on their range of offerings to exist. Ever since the last redo of target a few years ago where they look more and more like department stores, they seem to carry less and less. Even simple things like office supplies are getting sparse at target. I had to ship my printer ink to me simply because they don't stock it in store anymore. I only bought it at target so they don't cancel my redcard. If you don't use it like every 5-6months, they cancel it.

except the Celebration Publix please and thanks lol ;)

Well, true, but I think it's extra bad here. The 535, Old Lake Wilson, and Turkey Lake Walmarts in particular get ridiculously bad especially during peak times, while the Targets and Publix in the area are almost always a pleasant experience.

Isn’t that the story of Target vs. Walmart everywhere?

Tom MorrowNov 17, 2021

Just wanted to say that all of the Targets adjacent to Walt Disney World are insanely better experiences than any of the Walmarts. If you vacation here, for the love of god do your grocery shopping at Target or Publix! There is one Walmart exception and that is the one in Winter Garden, but that is probably too far for any resort.

We have a Target in our subdivision and I treat it like a convenience store.

He could have called them back. In my experience, the customer service at ShopDisney is excellent, even if the website itself leaves a lot to be desired.

The majority of the physical shells and streets are completed, with some stores moving into their space now. Five Below has had their sign on for awhile, Five Guys as welll and may be opening first, with target following soon after.

I drive past it nearly every day. As of this week, it appears they have staff onsite stocking the store. I'm sure the signs will be on the building soon.
