Downtown Disney has quite the turnover rate when it comes to its tennants. Lets see...

Arriba y Arriba... GONE
Tin Pan Alley... GONE
Mainspring... GONE
Petals... GONE
Hoipoloi... GONE

There was that sunglass shop that used to be connected to Mainspring, but I have since forgotten the name of that place. I could also lump Avalon Cove by Wolfgang Puck, Lucky Fortune Cookery, and Mondavi's little restaurant in DCA, but that is only by association (some still think DCA is just the pay per view version of Downtown Disney! ).

Did I miss any of them? Not really. I think Downtown Disney needs to be retooled to be more hip. Maybe just a little more like Citywalk, but not like the Block. As it is right now, it's just not worth my time to shop or dine there. The only reason some of the shops get any business there at all is the captive audience staying at the hotels, and they often choose Downtown Disney as a last resort, so to speak.
