And surprise surprise, we hear a bowling ball crash and a parade of bowling pins comes raining down on him.
Originally Posted By zekeayala i do agree that the shops in NOS are very managable. and like "friendofdd" said...it does help to shop earlier on in the day. that place in the back of Splash mountain is often quiet with a variety of things to sell. and DCA isn't that bad either.

That's my favorite place to window shop, since, in my opinion it has more unique merchandise: the women's and men's clothing shop is essentially the same as the emporium, plus you get the music shop, the disneyana shop, the magic shop, the kitchen goods shop, the snowglobe shop, and the little christmas shop.

The aviator themed shop near the mens/womens room across from Soarin' and the shop by Grizzly Rapids and the one on the left corner (candy shop) as you make a left going down the animation street. Man, this just underscores the fact that I'll have to actually start learning the store names. It's how I give directions, too...okay, take a left at the Wendy's and go three blocks until you see Burger King. Take a right and go until you see the men's store on the left...about 2 blocks. I'm no Tom-Tom Go, or whatever.
