Design-A-Tee store in Downtown

[esulerzy]

I understand this store just opened - if anyone has been or is going in the next few days, can you report back? I'm thinking of doing this during my next trip. Specifically, are the tee shirts good quality (I would think they are since it's a Hanes product); do they have a large assortment of designs (I'd probably lean towards something combining Disney and golf); etc.

TIA!

I'd like to know more too! I'm a little on the "pooh" size, but don't want to have to buy a men's XL or 2XL. I want a "pooh" sized, woman's fit! Hopefully, since the other Disney stores are now carrying "pooh" sizes, this store will too!

I would also love to see pics of tees anyone has designed. Can't wait to do this in December!

Someone have a few minutes to explain how it works? This is first I've heard of it

hi guys we purchased 2 of these t shirts in december and they are great. You basically go to a wee screen and choose the size & colour of the tshirt ( they have loads of sizes and they have the fitted ladies tshirts in "pooh sizes") I got a large ladies and it is a great fit and not too tight around the puppies - which i normally find LOL!! You then choose your character - a lot of choice with the characters in all types of attire/hobbies ( they didnt have figment which DH was disapointed with!!!!!) Then you get to chose the narrative & font that you want on your t-shirt. You then get a receipt that you take over to a cast member and then they tell you a time slot to come back as easy as that

My ladies fitted tee was $29.99 & the babies as $19.99 - they didnt offer an annual pass discount but they said this might become available in the future.

If you have any questions let me know

Thanks for the link. That looks really cool. My kids would love to watch the tshirt travel through the tube.

I am really disappointed that they do not have a Figment option. I was kind of hoping to get a personalised Figment t shirt when we go later this year.

Thank you! That sounds really neat. Might have to make the time to get to downtown disney.

Anyone know anything about the create your own mickey ears shop at DTD?

We visited in Dec. because DD wanted to make herself and her bf Belle & Beast tees. Their choice of characters didn't include Beast at all and I felt the choices were very limited. I really don't see the point of the store if the only characters you can get are the same ones available at all the other Disney stores. Also during our stay all the stores had tees 40% off so it was a much better value to buy one elsewhere but we never did find anything with Beast.

That sounds pretty cool!!

Add me to the disappointed there is no Figment but this is on my list of todo's for our first day since our flight is so late there is no point in going to a park.

 

[soulmates]

That is SUCH a cool idea!! We are SO gonna hit this store up when we get there!!! Thanks for posting!! What a great find!!

Anyone know if there is a choice of Wall-E/EVE for the t-shirts?

They DO have a Figment one. It's adorable, there's only one option, but it's CUTE! I would love to show you, but we were there the 2nd day it was open and the shirt we made washed up BADLY. We are waiting on a replacement one.

 

[sconnell]

Oh, I would love to look at all of the options before I stand there at a kiosk for an hour! I'm one of those, look at ALL of my options before I choose person.

 

[esulerzy]

OP here - thanks for all the replies. This is something I'll look into doing during my March trip.

KimmyDisneyNerd - "the shirt we made washed up BADLY" - can you clarify this? Are the shirts low quality? What are the washing instructions? I would hate to spend this $$ just to get it home, wash it, and have it fall apart. TIA!

The actual tee shirt was fine, it was the design that is peeling off(sorry I didn't clarify that originally). This happened after one wash. I have spoke to a few people that made shirts and had no issues at all. I believe it may have not been properly made. I will post a pic of what it looks like later, if you would like.
The quality of the shirt is nice! Very thick and it did not shrink at all.

Thanks for the additional info, KimmyDisneyNerd

I'd love to see a picture!
