Oh my. I think I need to add another day to our April visit just for this! From the Orlando Sentinel:
Marc Pianko is up to his eyeballs in mouse ears.
After more than a decade of gathering Disney-related memorabilia, souvenirs, clothing and theme-park props, the Windermere man's expansive collection spilled from his house and filled five storage sheds.
"The craziest stuff was in there, but no one could see it," Pianko said.
The former Walt Disney World employee has changed that, expanding his online-auction business called Theme Park Connection to include a new 4,000-square-foot store in Winter Garden, about 15 miles north of Disney World. It contains an estimated 250,000 items for sale.
Here's a link to his website as well, which announces the grand opening this weekend:

Any locals have the inside scoop on this place? I'm dying to see it.
