Well they do share merchandise like Disney CDs, DVDs, magazines, etc. that are general merchandise not branded with either TDR or JDS. However, JDS do have store unique merchandise depending on the store you go to. Usually they have serveral items with that Disney Store's name or logo on it. I have been to Disney Stores all over Japan and always try to buy an omiyage unique to that store.
