I just went in to take pictures and see it. I didn’t buy anything and didn’t notice if they were giving bags to those buying anything. Sorry!

I just don’t like the AC vents out in the open like that. I also miss the Disney elements. It looks like a regular store now.
Can't say that I like it. It doesn't say "you are at "DisneyWorld" to me anymore; just like any other mall store.
I like the "No Photography" sign in the photographs.

hey, I finally get to say it to you ... but posted last page!
This is pretty cool to see - though I know they highlight the walking path but have trouble believing they are going to have people who are spending $1,000/night or whatever have to walk over a drainage canal

maybe that is why they made the redesign for the mall stores really stark and cold - by comparison this looks very inviting!
I missed it then. I looked to see if it was too.hey, I finally get to say it to you ... but posted last page!

no worries, there was conversation going on so (and I know) it can be easy to miss things in the middle of exchanges
Thats what I get for working out in the morning when the news is released
@DanBoris doesn't believe the walkway that WDWNT claims is in the plans is actually a walkway for the land.
It does appear there is a lot of room for busing which may be the main transfer to the land itself.

That's the "problem" with Disney Springs -- they seemed to have made it to be generic. They seem to be trying to make it its own "theme" as opposed to just a giant Disney-Themed shopping center.
Which I guess isn't that bad -- since it is SO far removed from all the Disney Parks and most of the resorts.
I don't think Disney Springs will ever feel like "Disneyworld" like Downtown Disney did.
But it does fit into the Disney Springs "look" (which is less "Disney" and more "generic Outlet Mall with a cool river running through it").
I wonder if that was the plan, though the rest of the marketplace doesn't really fit into the Springs -- T-Rex, Rainforest Café, Lego Store, Pin Traders .. all very garish and "90s" like World of Disney was.

maybe the walkway is a back-up or for CMs or something.
I still think, if the idea is you are on a spaceship, then you would need to "shuttle" to the land - and the best way to do that would be something like the Hogwarts Express, using screens on the side of the transportation form to simulate the flying and landing in the land.
Suppose that could be with buses - though I was thinking more of a people mover type system

Not sure the distance, but that seems like a long walking path to get to the land. To keep the immersion you would think that it would have to be entirely covered.hey, I finally get to say it to you ... but posted last page!

My guess is they will have some sort of bus that takes you there, but the loading area to the bus will be themed over so it feels like you are boarding a shuttlecraft or something .. and the bus windows will be covered with those digital screens, so you never see the outside until you "land" at the entrance to SWGE.
I am thinking a "spaceship" type bus. The inside is all screens or something and you are transported over.
The hotel is also only two stories so expect things to be very limited.
