Main Street Motors
Früher konnte man in diesem Geschäft einmal echte Autos kaufen,
inzwischen ist es allerdings nur noch ein Geschäft, in dem Disney-Filme verkauft werden.
Die Einrichtung erinnert noch an das alte Geschäft und zum Bummeln lohnt sich dieses
Geschäft auf jeden Fall.

The Storybook Store
Dieses Geschäft, das am Town Square gelegen ist, verkauft alle
Arten von Disney Filmen, CDs und Büchern. Außerdem werden hier Bilder und Poster aus den
Disney-Filmen verkauft.
Früher gab es in diesem Geschäft auch einmal ein großes Spektrum von Büchern, die
sich in allen Facetten mit dem Phänomen Disney allgemein beschäftigten. Leider ist
dieses Sortiment inzwischen sehr stark geschrumpft. Füllte es früher einmal ein eine
ganze Wand aus, so ist dieses Sortiment ernsthafter Bücher jetzt leider nur noch in eine
Ecke gedrängt.
Wer nach Soundracks sucht, findet hier alle derzeit verfügbaren offiziellen
Disney-Veröffentlichungen rund um den Park.

Photography
Dieses Geschäft ist der Photographie gewidmet und dem
entsprechend werden hier Filme, Einwegkameras und ähnliches verkauft. Auch das Entwickeln
der Bilder vom DLP Urlaub ist hier möglich. Dies ist allerdings sehr teuer und man muß
gleich zwei Abzüge von jedem Bild kaufen, warum ist mir auch nicht bekannt. Diafilme
können hier nicht entwickelt werden.

Dapper Dan's Haircuts
Wer sich einmal stilecht rasieren lassen möchte, ist hier genau
richtig. In diesem kleinen Barbiergeschäft kann man sich wie im Wilden Westen rasieren
lassen, allerdings habe ich bisher noch nicht getestet, wie der Barbier reagiert, wenn man
ihm einen Revolver an den Kopf hält, das Risiko war mir dann doch etwas zu groß ...
<;o)
Die Preise sind hier auch sehr angemessen, für einen Haarschnitt oder eine Rasur zahlt
man nur ungefähr 30 DM. Auch After Shave und verschiedene Parfums werden hier angeboten.

Harrington's
Fine China & Porcellains
Dieser Shop läßt sich in zwei Teile unterteilen:
Glass Fantasies: Hier gibt es Glasbläserartikel in einer
reichhaltigen Auswahl und auch dem Glasbläser kann man beim Herstellen der wunderschönen
Stücke zusehen.
Disney Collectibles: Eine Fundgrube für echte Disney Fans!
Das Angebot hier besteht aus Sammlerstücken aller Art, z.B. Uhren, Figuren, Bilder,
Teller usw. Man muß hier nur darauf achten, nicht in den Sammelrausch zu verfallen, denn
sonst ist das mühsam zusammen gesparte Urlaubsbudget erschöpft (...eigene
Erfahrung....). Das Geschäft bietet außerdem Tischgedecke in verschiedenen Variationen
an.
