Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt I agree with Doug. I think it looks nice. If they'd take out the tacky merchandise it would actually look kind of like a classy boutique. Certainly there are bigger egregious design interiors at DL than this one.
Originally Posted By jmuboy I will say it again, look at WDW's WalMart Street, I mean Main St and you will understand this shop renovation is a WDI masterpiece. Count your blessings DL fans.

In my opinion, this newly completed store looks much better and has more theme and charm to it than the 1990's version it replaced.

I've never been so upset about something than I am now. I am actually going to file a complaint! I really am VERY dissapointed in what they did to this store! It's mutilation! It's lost ALL of it's charm and is just a generic piece of SH** like any other GAP, or other clothing store. This cannot go without a cry! This is DISGUSTING! How could you Disney?! That was one of the most beautiful stores I ever worked at I even worked there on my birthday so it has such a special place in my heart(I've only worked there a few times and have great memories of the place). Now I'm just... I'm just! GAAAAAH"
