Merch Over Mickey: The Downtown Disney Downgrade

You used to step into Downtown Disney and feel the magic hit you instantly. Now it's giving major outdoor mall energy with endless shopping, generic vibes, and construction walls everywhere. It seems like Disneyland stripped away the whimsy and is quietly turning its iconic entrance into a glorified shopping center where grabbing overpriced lululemon leggings or Cuban pastries from the new Porto's feels more important than actually visiting the parks. Greg rages "It looks like any mall and the parks feel secondary!" 58 Minutes.
