Sadly the Main Street CInema was lost during the last expansion of the (now called) Grand Emporium. And who here still remembers when guests could buy an antique car at DLP's Main Street??

Still, having a shop with cars in it is a lot more exciting than having another shop selling the exact same thing as the one next door.

I can see the appeal of having a Main Street be more like a real main street. But when I was at WDW, I had little desire to but something that wasn't Disney stuff. Why would I want to buy something there that I can get from Amazon for half the price?
