I wrote to ask when they would be opening. They responded back with a rather vague, "the first week of November" so at least we know that we should be able to get some Christmas shopping done! Maggie

I will be heading up there Friday with DH. I'll see if they have it started and see how far along they hopefully are!!

We ended up out at Discover Mills tonight due to gift hunting needs. The only open space in the 5th section, where it appears that the DSO is going to be, is directly across from the opening of Medieval Times. There are the usual black drapes hung across the storefront glass. We peeked through the tiny openings in the drapes and saw that it's still basically a blank canvas in there, unless they are going to sell the wheelbarrow that I saw for cheap!

They have several weeks to work their magic. I can't wait to see the final outcome! Maggie

Too funny! We ended up there tonight also! DH is looking for some type of wader to keep his legs from getting muddy while 4 wheelin. I didn't even get a chance to head into the mall as it was 8:30 when we got there. They need to hurry and work their magic though!

I have to tell you, I was not "wowed" by it

To me it looked like the same merchandise that was on the sale rack at the regular Disney Store, just more of it.

Not sure what I was expecting, but I don't think I'd make a special trip just to go there.

The Coach outlet, on the other hand, I'd make the trip.

When I first read this post I thought that this was one of the Disney Premier/Character outlets like they have around Orlando. That would have been great news. After rereading now I see it is an outlet for the Disney Store (now run by the Childrens Place). This will just be a way for Childrens Place to re-cyle the junk they currently have in their stores. I wish Disney would either take these stores back and merchandise them properly or just close them all together. Unless you have a need for a princess dress and a stuffed animal, the stores are terrible.

I have been happier with TDS recently. They are offering adult clothing, some of it is really nice stuff too. Not much variety, but it's getting there. They are offering some new decorative items for the home too. I think there is hope. TCP has taken their sweet time with making the much needed changes, but they have at least started now.

The store at the Gwinnett Mall is being rehabbed and looks much better, heck some of the animation is returning to characters that have been standing or sitting still for ages. I take this as a positive step.

I heard a rumor that the merchandise at the DSO will have inventory from DisneyShopping as well as TDS. I am hoping that is true. Time will tell. Maggie

Cool, will be nice if it actually has some nice adult and home items.
We are in Canton / Woodstock GA (up 75 to 575N) , we will have to head over and check it out.

Someone please post when they know more about when it will be open.

Thanks,
Steve

I just called our local TDS at Gwinnett Place Mall. The scoop is that there are construction delays, so they have postponed the opening until after the first of the year. Sorry guys. Maggie

I heard from a friend that it's now open. She didn't go there herself.
Any reports? I am not sure that's it's worth the drive.
