A Cloudy Day at Downtown Disney!

Today was a cloudy day at Downtown Disney today, but the sun was still shiny! There were a number of Disney 100 giant coins throughtout the shopping area. The trip was really to get one o fmy favorite sandwiches, the Holiday Turkey Sandwich at Earl of Sandwich. It was moved to the other side of Downtown Disney near the parks next to World of Disney. The World of Disney store had a few new displays at least for me. Entering the store, besides the usual Disney merch, was a Star Wars Pride display. It featured the new action figure, BB-You, kinda clever name; $14.99. A rainbow colored droid set and of course t-shirts. The Star Wars section also had Droid Factory sets. One for The Mandalorian; R6-D3, MA-13, R1, and NO-AH. The Obi-Wan Kenobi set has R3-T2, NED-B, Viper Probe Droid, and 1-JAC. Each$44.99.   

The new look for Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen, Downtown Disney. 

The Marvel section had a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 display with Cosmo the Spacedog and Rocket Raccoon stuffies; $26.99. Plus, t-shirts and hats. There was a section for that movie too; a Spider-Woman action figure and the usual shirts. One of the cases had a display of multi-colored Pegasi stuffies from Fantasia (1940). They were from Beethoven’s “The Pastoral Symphony” sequence. Great expressions, miffed, playful, sleeping. It was $64.99, pass, I wish they were sold separately. In fact, I would prefer the usual action figure set. Go further, I would like the other characters; centaurs (would they be naked?), fauns, unicorns, and the goofy Bacchus. The Little Mermaid display was underwhelming; sweaters, shirts, and Mickey ears. No figures besides the set and no pins, I got the limited edition pin from Pin Traders.

The Mirrorverse pins are kinda cool, based on the mobile game; $17.99. At the end of the store was a display for Elemental; shirts and baskets of stuffies for the main characters, Wade and Ember, the Earth guy, Clod, and pink cloud gal, Gale; $29.99. Dunno, the movie doesn’t look as fun as the best of Pixar, and again didn’t make me laugh. They need their good luck charm, John Ratzenberger. I hope with all of the Disney layoffs that more Pixar employees are spared. There is a remodel for Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen, it is a modern look, which looks nondescript. I like the unique, more New Orleans centered look. At Star Wars Traders, I saw the Babu Frik Interactive Toy, Droidsmith figure for Droid Depot; $59.99. There was some interesting merch at Downtown Disney plus the chance to get another Holiday Turkey Sandwich!
