There’s one in South Florida at the Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, if anyone is in town visiting that area and CAN’T make it up to Orlando!! I tend to go there every so often to see if I had missed anything from the months I didn’t visit WDW or if there was something cool from one of the other parks I can’t afford to visit!
In the future will there be a Disney character warehouse in Anaheim california …
