DW and I were able to preview this last week and after it was over we noticed that we didn't walk out into a gift shop. Actually when we looked around briefly, we didn't see any gift area. Talk about a nice little surprise.
there is no gift shop exit in California Adventure either.... I like it like that. There is, however, a gift shop right across the walkway/street from the attraction that sells Soarin' over California merchandise! (just in case you HAVE to have something!!) LOL!!!
As I recall the California Adventure version didn't dump into a gift shop either. Does this mean the small gift shop in the land pavillion no longer exists or has it been moved?
