I’m really liking the new store design. The store is a lot less cluttered now which as a customer makes for a better shopping experience.

I think it looks fantastic from the pictures. I like how the merchandise is also part of the decor. Love the big Mickey Ears!

I'm not sure how people are complaining that they don't feel "Disney" in there....

I think it was more from before when they had reopened some sections and it looked more bare - and comparing it t before which fel “warmer“ with the carpet and tons of things hanging from the ceiling and just more in your face

Because there was a certain Disney charm before. People don’t like the industrial clean brick and white wall look.

It certainly could’ve been much worse.

I see what you are saying, but for me I think it looks wonderful.

I do think the finished product looks a lot better than emerge portions they had opened up (that weren’ fully complete)

While I have not seen the Disney Springs version, the one at Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort, is really nice. I like the openness of the store now. It doesn't feel as crowded. There are lots of magical touches, but they are more subtle. Yes, you don't have the characters all around you. But there is still so much stuff to see and look at, that you could spend a lot of time looking at the magical touches. One thing I saw was a big picture of Sleeping Beauty castle. Then it started to change and fireworks started going off. Some of the movie posters have added animation touches to them. Overall I think people will really like this when they see it in person. Another nice touch is that each "room" has its own theme and music playing. I had not noticed this until it was pointed out to me.

I will always prefer the original but I don't hate this new look. I do think this look fits better with Disney Springs.

Wow - they ripped out the insides of World of Disney and built a warehouse.

From the earlier pics released, I thought the store looked too bare and not Disney enough. I actually like it from these pics, though. I'm in the camp that thought it was just way too "busy" looking before.

 

[Mome Rath]

I like it better now for sure.

 

[Candlelady]

It's still Disney but a more upscale feel to the store. Lol, that means Disney can charge a bit more! Even my DH liked it, and like Mikey, he hates everything. ;o)

It sounds like they added the technology that is found on DCL with the pictures that change to having animation on them. DCL uses it mostly for a game that kids can do I believe. I'm looking forward to seeing the full design in person since I only saw half of the store when that first debuted. I was mostly indifferent about the new design then, but there were none of the little Disney touches that you described.

I am sort of hoping Disney would create a merchandise only location(s) at DS that had an animatronics show. I was in a mall on the strip in Las Vegas and there was a complete show (I think it was the Fall of Atlantis) with water/fire effects. That, in itself, became another attraction to see.

So is there another "princess" movie in the works along the lines of Tangled, Frozen and Moana, etc.? I love the direction the animation went starting with Tangled and it seems stalled? And I don't mean Frozen 2, something original.

I hope movies like those don't disappear with the Marvel and Star Wars franchises.

I believe there is an “untitled princess film” on the schedule but nothing is known about it.

Thanks. That doesn't exactly sound promising!

Disney always releases a film schedule that’s like 5 years from now but it’s unrelaible because films move around and change so much that far out.

Lots of years ago, I could name all the Princesses... then came Pocahontas, Aladdin, Mermaid, Beast, Brave, Tangled, etc... Of course, my daughter was into the princesses then, and now, years later, her son is more into Paw Patrol (where did I fail????) But, I've totally lost count now of just how many Princesses there are....
