I do think it's odd but since I have to admit to owning, the Disney versions of Candyland, Monopoly, Mr. Potato Head and HM Clue all bought because they were Disney versions of something I had in my childhood, I guess I won't say anything negative Next, Disney GI Joe for the boys, no wait Disney "He Man and the Masters of the Universe"

Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>what is so wrong with these toys?<< For once thing, they are not Disney (I may be mistaken on this but I do not recall this being a Disney franchise). Plus, they have many small parts that are detachable..not good for younger kids who love to put everything they can grab in their mouths.
Originally Posted By xXxNIGHTMARExXx I think it's a cute idea. I was totally in love with My Little Pony's when I was a kid. If only I had had Disney accessories to go with them back then. Who knows, maybe they're putting the ponies in the next Toy Story movie, then they will automatically become "Disney" characters like Mr. Potato Head did. ;o)

Originally Posted By meomi What build a bears aren't good enough??? Well at least this will allow for some unique personalization. There aren't any treasures in the castle anymore... I honestly don't know really what to think... I guess they are trying to lure a new generation into something. WHen I was a kid we didn't have my little pony, we had real cool horse models. I guess my lil pony probably just doesn't appeal to me at all. But then again I am not the target market for this product. M

Goofy's Candy Company will continue to operate in its current location until about a week before the opening of the new store. The space will then be refurbished for another shop, to be announced<< Thats all it says... guess i was wrong... maybe it'll be a Mainstreet Magic Shop! (wishfull thinking) or maybe they're putting the old gormet shop back! anything but a toy store please!
Originally Posted By Doobie The only rumor I've heard (and it's definitely a rumor) is Mickey's Mart, the $10 and under store for kids located in the outdoor area between Disney at Home and Disney Tails may move in there. Apparently it's doing very well. I think it's a great idea though I don't like the name at all. Doobie.
