DTD Lego Store closing?

[marlaine]

I just read on another site that the DTD Lego Store is closing. My DS loved it there last year. If it's gone, there really isn't anything for kids to do Downtown.
Say it ain't so!

I just googled a lot and I can't find anything. That wouldn't make any sense, they have so many people coming to DTD just for that store and the big sculpture in the water.

I can't believe they would close it. It is always packed when we go there!

 

[DVCBELLE]

I hope not! I feel like there are less and less reasons to go to DTD!

The page is still up on lego.com

Hope it doesnt close...my son is looking forward to going there on our trip later in the year.

With Legoland coming Disney may now see them as a competitor.

The McDonald's is closing, but I haven't heard anything about the Lego store.

I really can't see why they would close it. I have been there so many times and it is always crowded.

That's a good point. Hmmmm....

Legoland is coming to Florida?

Oh, I hope they don't close! That place is one of my not-into-Disney 12yo's favorite parts of our WDW vacations!

Legoland is coming to Florida?

2012 I think...taking over the cypress gardens property.

I didn't know that legoland is coming to Florida that soon. That will be pretty sweet, but that is going to be a lot of competition for the DTD lego store. I hope they don't close it because I really enjoy looking at all the lego figures.

Legoland is coming to FL but it is far enough away from Orlando that I don't see why they would close the DTD store. Besides, they must make alot of money at that store. As PP's said it is always packed and long lines to check out.

I don't see the lego store closing because of legoland. There is legoland in CA and also a store at DTD there. They are probably an hour further apart then Cypress Gardens is in relation to WDW but I can't see how the store itself would be competition.

ETA: Competition enough to close it I should say.

There is no plans to close the store in DD...The Legoland coming to Cypress Gardens will be open by end of 2012...and they said they have no plans to close that local...Plus if they planned to close, they wouldn't be working to cleanup and work on the displays outside...which is going on now..

McDonalds though..IS CLOSING

 

[Schmoodle]

I can tell you it was open a couple of weeks ago, and PACKED. DS would be so sad if it closed.

What site did you read this on? I'm skeptical.

 

[devotedchristian]

I just called the store directly (thanks to the PP who gave the link), the guy was like "Legoland closing um no! Wer'e not closing!"

So all is well!

Why is McDonalds closing? I assumed it did well. What is replacing it??
