This store should be at the Grand Floridian. It seems like the kind of store I can see grandparents going into. They're retired and have the money for a slice of cake that's the cost of a mortgage payment. 😂😂
Everything I hate in a 'restaurant'. Might as well be a Planet Hollywood. Let's hope the next company that leases this space, after this fails, does better.
You already nailed it. Lush. Fancy. It allows the ridiculously wealthy to feel like they're rubbing elbows with the commoner, sort of like Saratoga Springs.
It doesn’t. Neither do empty storefronts and attractions. As much as I hate to think it, this version of Disney has neither the interest or ability to program this area.
SO looking forward to yall reviewing the cake slices! it’d be cool to compare to something similar at gideon’s as well, because imo gideon’s is great quality for the price, much cheaper, similar in size, and only a bus away from the boardwalk, so it’d be interesting to have a side-by-side.
@@Teacher659 I think you're underestimating the amount of wealth that goes to Disney World, especially to the deluxe resorts. Even for people who are not wealthy, many are willing to spend extra money while on vacation. People keep complaining how expensive Disney is getting, yet people keep showing up.
I dont wish anyone to fail because that means people losing their jobs but it isnt a place that intrests me. Thanks for the tour and look forward to the upcoming cake review.
The resort is no longer opening businesses, it's just testing people to see if they'll keep spending ridiculously no matter what. It's a Disney psy-ops at this point.
WDW News, is this a Cake Shop that sell's merch on the side or visa versa? With all that staff just hanging around blocking the front door access. Then inside more staff just trying not to look bored. You can see why the food prices are so high to pay for them all. Lets hope the cakes are worth eating. Cheers, Chris Perry.
Well, they appear to have several staffers for every customer, so that's a plus! LOL. It all looks delicious and lovely, but it's hard to imagine they will find enough customers willing to pay those outrageous prices to make a go of it. This place probably needs to become a viral sensation for it to work, because it will mostly rely on the Boardwalk resorts for customers, and they'll need word- of-mouth to bring more people to the Boardwalk just to come here, but the place has already gone viral for its nosebleed prices, so it may be sunk before it even gets started.
Why do people want this to fail? This is not even Disney owned. I cant afford this and would not step foot but there are tons of other options. Just ignore it and move on.
It epitomizes Disney’s transformation from a vacation spot a middle class family can take the whole family into a playground for the ultra wealthy. More and more places at Disney are going to outprice you in the years to come.
I don't want it to fail but I've been going to Disney World for over three decades. And stores that are mad pricey like this one typically don't last long. Rich and wealthy people go to Disney World, yes. BUT a majority of the guests that go there are not rich and wealthy, they're like you and me, living paycheck to paycheck. And guests like us truly understand how you'll needs to stretch your funds to it's utmost max when at Disney World. Why buy a slice of cake here when Disney Springs is literally down highway and you can get a high quality, delicious slice of cake from Amorettes for half the price? AND the presentation of their cakes alone is worth more than that. Yet, it's cheaper, it's a value in my opinion.
I don't understand the hate of this place. It looks great and if I didn't have to go out of my way to get to it, I would certainly grab some stuff from there. Overpriced? Maybe but everyone has different levels of disposable income. I would drop 30 for a big piece of cake just like I pay $16 to get a caramel apple when it probably takes less than $2 to make.
