Is the one in NYC different from the others? Because the running of the stores was sold to The Children's Place a couple of years back and the stores have gone through some changes. The clothes is cheaper - both "less expensive" and "cheaper" - than what you find at the park. The service is very much declined, since they don't have Disney breathing down their backs about Disney Service (how many Disney Store cast members remember the story about the Capidemonte and the little boy?).
Do I still shop there? Yeah. But I don't expect as much from them and the merchandise isn't what you find at any of the parks. Even their PJ Pals are different (and actually more expensive) than online.
I know you can still return stuff there (from the parks), but it's just not the same anymore. Sigh....excuse me while I go wallow in my memories......
