They use to have a Store adjacent to Goofy's Candy company called Mickey's Mart that pretty much did discounted merch. The best thing they had were the Mystery bags of older souvenirs.. https://allears.net/walt-disney-world/wdw-planning/mickeys-mart-everything-10-and-under-downtown-disney-marketplace-archives/

Just a few months ago Universal Citywalk shut down it's decade old QuietSurf shop and I was let aware current employees there would be moved and transferred to this store at Disney Spring's. Now that now it's closing where will they now go...if they're there still. 😉

The one at Vineland is really close by but yeah off property! If that were the case it would convince tourists at WDW not to buy the current merch at full price! I would also add when it comes to character warehouses there's barely anything for the kids.

This is true though it's hardly since returning to the parks that then I see hardly Disney Spring's even on weekdays whining down unless it's early in the mornings upon opening until say past 11am.

But also, what are they going to do? Kick them out? Any financial penalty just gets added to the stack of debts.

At this point it would be nice to see just a Disney Character outlet on property or some place where you can get discounted Disneypark out of season overstock....And not have to venture to the outlet mall off of Lakeland..

Yikes not sure how that’s happening. I am fairly sure going out of business signage is against the terms of the lease.

Here’s a look at the closing signage recently added to the storefront - photo from today: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54323995343_eabd124632_k.jpg

Gotcha! I do think we have to recognize one of those options is free for everyone in Orlando to attend if they want to drop by for dinner after work.

The parks have literally always been paywalled

Probably - not questioning the meat of your main point at all, though. I just remember this because back in the day, parking was always a real nightmare on that end which was always the most popular because it was the side with all the Disney operated stuff. Often, the lot over there was closed due to capacity as early as mid-morning and I remember thinking Disney had lost their collective minds when they decided to tear up that entrance and remove parking to add more retail and consumer demand to this end of DTD when all the available parking was down in front of West Side. I also remember being underwhelmed with the actual substance of the store when they were done and it was open because the shape of the building and the amount of space it took up didn't really seem to justify the way it was utilized, given it was purpose built and in such a valuable location. I can understand why it may look like a retrofit that might have replaced a couple of other stores in the same building with the layout it has but nope, they designed it that way from the ground up. 🤷‍♂️

Was it now? Well then I am not remembering correctly then…but I was sure it was one of the spaces in that area. Perhaps the building to the right of it…name escapes me at the moment. I’d have to look at an old map of DTD. The space I had to guess at as even though I worked for the company back then, lips were tight as to which space BABW wanted so desperately. I think they were concerned word would get out and it would hamper their chances to get the space they wanted. -

Once Upon a Toy was built as Once Upon a Toy. The Disney Village area was extended more towards the road when this was added. Prior to that, I believe there was an entrance to the parking lot and more parking lot in the space that store and the area around it now occupies. Not doubting deal issues (although doubting their logic, maybe). It seems odd they'd have trouble finding an agreeable financial arrangement given the insane markup they have on these products and how easy storage is. Just what they cost in a regular mall for what people are getting and then all the add-ons if you want it to smell or have a sound and then the outfits. I mean, if Mars can justify the space M&M world has anchored by a candy you can pick up at a gas station, $75+ stuffed animals should be a walk in the park for a location that would probably be a quarter of that size. I'd have to believe that other than maybe a break room, their locations are close to 100% showroom space and a few theme-park exclusives would be like cracking alchemy for them in attracting the crowd that seem to collect these like beanie babies from the 90's.

All true. I remember the push for the ‘flagship’ location, but they consider the location at The Florida Mall to now be the local ‘flagship’. Currently has the new ‘Bakeshop’ and other plusses most locations do not have. For those not familiar, BABW also has a location just over the Property line on I-Drive. So a location at Springs at this point is probably not a high priority. They are too busy expanding onto cruise lines and Great Wolf Lodge to be bothered with the restrictions and expense Disney would bring to them if they continued to pursue a location there. But ya never know…might happen one day. -
