BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Now this is some cool merchandise! Spotlight on Disney Centerpiece Coming to Marketplace Co-Op at Downtown Disney Marketplace in 2014Mar 4th, 2014 @ 11:00 am › Steven MillerToday, I’m beginning a series of articles that will highlight the six boutiques coming to the Marketplace Co-Op in Downtown Disney Marketplace at Walt Disney World Resort. You may recall last November that we announced this location that will serve as a testing space for new Disney retail concepts, shops and products. The first boutique I’m showcasing toady is Disney Centerpiece, which will contain home products for guests who want a splash of Disney in their everyday lives. I spoke with Dana Harchar from the Global Retail Development team about the hand-crafted display fixtures you will find in this location once the shop opens in a couple of months. “Disney Centerpiece will have an eclectic mix of display fixtures for the merchandise,” explained Dana. “The neutral color fixtures will have a well-loved and repurposed feel. I chose a few accent colors that compliment some merchandise created for this shop. Hand-made Hoosier cabinets will line the exposed brick walls. My teammate Bert McCumber printed three-dimensional models that we shared with the store operations team and other cast members working on this shop.”The smaller fixture model shown above that resembles bench swings stacked on crates will house new decorative pillows. While speaking with Dana in her office, she showed me the computer image she created to determine exactly how many pillows that fixture will hold (she even included miniature Orange Bird pillows – awesome!). The merchandise coming to this location looks amazing; it’s like they pulled these things directly from my brain! There is an entire new collection of goods inspired by Adventureland and Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. I love the ceramic Orange Bird figure and the miniature ceramic Dole Whips! The home décor team also made several small plates containing artwork with my favorite word, “Aloha!” Several attraction posters from Disney Parks will be included on glassware, small plates and coasters. Finally, there will be an entire line of retro-inspired merchandise featuring some of the themed lands found at Disneyland park in California or Magic Kingdom Park in Florida. I love the salt and pepper shakers that resemble ride vehicles from the Mad Tea Party attraction. Look for these items and more when Disney Centerpiece opens at the Marketplace Co-Op in a couple of months. Select items will also be carried on our Disney Parks online store at a future date. Which items are your favorites? Please share in the “Comments” below. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2014/03/spotlight-on-disney-centerpiece-coming-to-marketplace-co-op-at-downtown-disney-marketplace-in-2014/ Avatab....

Seals 111 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Way cool. And excellent decision to market that nostalgia factor. Leave it to Disney to find a yet another way to separate me from my $. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 And give me something not uber-tacky that I can actually use in my everyday life vs collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. Something that sparks a good memory instead of a need to break out the Pledge and/or make a trip to Salvation Army. I gave up regular "souvenirs" a long time ago in favor of things like mugs, spoon rests, artwork, and one of my favorites, a butter dish from the France pavilion at Epcot. In the camper we have a stylish clock, a nice throw on the bed, oh yeah and Mickey flatware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seals 111 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 To each her own. I'm picturing myself drinking my morning tea from that Mr. Toad mug with a big smile on my face. Right now I have several dozen mugs and I only use one of the four Disney travel mugs to bring tea to work each day and at home I always use my Joy To The World mug that has pictures on it that remind me of It's A Small World. Mr. Toad will fit right in. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 that has pictures on it that remind me of It's A Small World. If that doesn't deserve a down arrow, nothing does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seals 111 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 If that doesn't deserve a down arrow, nothing does. Then apparently nothing does. Because anything that makes me happy, can't be deserving of a down arrow.IASW provides me happy, nostalgic memories of the first time I enjoyed it in 1974. And possibly I rode a version of it at the NY World's Fair, but I was only 3 when I went to it so I don't have a clear memory. Up arrow for warm and fuzzy feelings. :raspberry: djsamuel and BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 One thousand diseased camels could not get me in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YENSIDCAMPER 66 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 We were shopping here Monday night. It was still boarded up on an earlier visit... We liked the stores. There were items we hadn't seen anywhere else. My DS found a replica of an old Mickey Bar sign. He didn't buy it then but decided he really wanted it. We made a special trip there as we are heading home so he can buy it... They were all out and wouldn't sell the display ones (there were 2)! He was bummed. DW saw lots of Vera Bradley designs not in any other stores. Also some nice jewelry. The design your own phone cases looked popular. We were glad to get to see it open.

Yes, I am looking forward to (window*) shopping there some day. I love (looking at*) Vera Bradley products. So I guess you could say 1,000 healthy camels couldn't keep me away. If everything has to be judged in terms of camels and their health status, which apparently it does. *words that can be omitted if I win the lottery Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I like this. I like the Disney crap they are selling, I like the store layout, and I hate shopping. I will go there and probably buy some stuff. It has FWGuys endorsement, which means a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
