Today, I went to Disneyland and stopped by the new LEGO Imagination Center.
It is located on the Disneyland hotel property right by the monorail
station.

Here are some pictures:

They almost as much of a selection as at LEGOLAND California.

There is NO markup.  They sell everything for exactly the same as you would
get at a normal store.

There are various play tables throughout the store.  I was lusting after
several hard-to-find parts that were all over these bins - Why can't they
sell these!!! :)

They have various LEGO sculptures all over the place, made of both regular
LEGO bricks and DUPLO.

The items they carry include:

- The entire line of Belville and a lot of Scala (I don't like Scala so I
don't know if they had "all" of it).
- Model Team sets only available by mail (the big white/red truck)
- ALL train sets including the cargo train, passenger train, track, the
station, the crane, the cleaner... (basically all of it).
- The only "bulk" set they had was the old red low-incline slopes.  I asked
if they were going to cary more, but the girl working there was totally
clueless (obviously not too interested in LEGO)!
- All the town stuff (still asking $80 for that silly highway construction
set!)
- All the castle stuff
- Walls of throw-bots
- All the extra mindstorms sensors and expansion packs
- Nearly all of the LOM sets (missing the red mech for some reason - Also,
no Aero Tube Hangar)
- The complete line of studios sets
- The big mini-fig and Statue of Liberty
- Tons of LEGO clothes and other related products
- LEGO candy
- LEGO watches and clocks
- LEGO books

Odd things that weren't there:
- Technic silver champion and super car - In fact, they didn't have any of
the large "true" technic sets.  I'm guessing that this is just a stock
issue.
- No bulk bricks (except that mentioned above).

The store was jammed with people, but they had 3 checkers open so I didn't
have to wait in line very long.  A lot of people at Downtown Disney were
carrying LEGO bags around.

I bought some Belville sets ( YES - Being a 31 year old male, I was
embarrassed.  They probably assumed it was for a child or something. )
