I would love the merchandise… but perhaps Disney should also add a small little cafe in some of the stores… those cafes would then serve a selection of Mickey shaped snacks from the parks (like Mickey pretzels, waffles, ice cream, etc). I think Primark/Penneys is doing something similar in its UK stores.
If they do this, they should allow guests to buy tickets and APs, sell disney prepackaged snacks, a soft serve with dole whips, and occasionally have park only merch. Maybe a quest character once a month for a meet and greet.
I mean, I would like to see it, but I don't think it's going to happen. Retail just isn't a winning proposition right now. I think we will continue to juse see more Disney presence in existing stores, like a Target near me was recently remodeled in includes a Disney area near the toys that showcases Disney merch and has a little interactive area with TV and such (I am not sure exactly what it did, but kids were hanging around).

Can agree too! It would be amazing to maybe meet up with Moana in that once a month period… the meet and greets could further be adapted to regional exclusives (I.e. if there should be a location in the Ala Moana center)…
