You'll see a steam locomotive (train engine) sticking out of the building. We have no idea what that is.<br /><br />Ryan Joseph, yes, some mall-stores stores but also several foreign clothing stores that either have ZERO or FEW other locations in the United States. They will make DTD a shopping destination. I'm excited about that.<br /><br />Anon, The Edison has me excited too because the LA location, built into a former power plant, does offer DJ's on weekends.

I'm excited to see more unique restaurants. Some of the retail stores don't seem to make a lot of sense, though. Most do, but specifically Apple and New Balance? Downtown Disney attracts mostly tourists, right? And Disney is likely expanding it to entice people to spend a full day there. So are tourists really all that likely to buy new phones/computers/shoes while on vacation? I'm sure they'll get a ton of foot traffic, but how much will they sell?
