Are there any? loads of WB but I've not found a Disney store and there's nothing on their website to say either. Does anyone know?

Well, I may be wrong of course, so don't get too excited......but there's definitely a kids' cartoon-type store in there on the way to the Food Court, just not 100% sure if it's Disney or Warner Bros...............!! :unsure:

Not hat is Warner Bros. There used to be Disney stores here but I'm afraid they all closed down, I guess they weren't making any money!

Used to be one in Melbourne Central, but I think that went donkey's years ago. I think the one in Crown is the only one now.

Here's a bit of info I found on the net:

"According to Andy Mooney, President - Disney Consumer Products , Disney spent too much time focusing on The Disney Store when it is more lucrative to focus on licensing. Because of this refocus the number of Disney Stores has decreased. In 2000, there were 741 Disney Stores with 515 of those being in North America. Now there are 503 Disney Stores worldwide with 375 of those being in North America. The target is to decrease the amount of stores even further with a total of 405 stores. 300 of those would be located in North America. The stores in Japan were sold to The Oriental Land Company who run the Tokyo Disney Resort. Additionally, the stores in Australia will be closed. "
