Well, funny you should ask! A few months ago, I complained that "my" Disney Store was closing (and it did.) Imagine how surprised I was to find a brand new TDS at the local mall (about 5 miles away from me) when I was there last week. The new store is located a few storefronts away from the old location. However, it bears little resemblance to the old store. It has a warehouse "feel" to it (but the prices are high) and it seems much larger than the old store. I took a quick look around, but I do not see myself spending time or money there. The merchandise was primarily kids' clothes and toys and the quality didn't seem especially good. I didn't even notice any of the "collectibles" (such as water globes, watches, etc.)
I suppose, now that The Children's Place owns the stores, there will be fewer items available for grownups. I think that I may have to wait 'til I am in FL again to purchase Disney items. No more quick Disney fixes at home.
