Have you ever been here?

The Disney Food Blog wrote about the Writer's Stop in Hollywood Studios..

http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2010/08/04/secret-spots-writers-stop/

And it makes me want to go there..like right now..and sadly..I think this is one of those places I've passed a million times but I've NEVER gone inside. It looks like a heavenly little Barnes & Noble right smack in the middle of Disney..
and I hate carrot cake but that Carrot Cake Cookie makes me salivate from the mouth.

Have you ever been here? Any other tucked away little spots like this that I'm missing at the parks???

Yep - we stop in there almost every time we go! I got a couple of books there about imagination from the Imagineers that I use for my classes!

One of my favorite spots on property. We try to stop in at least once a trip. The blog did a better job of describing it than I could. It really is a special place.

I've bought books and kitchen gadgets there, and I've relaxed with a book in one of the comfortables chairs they have towards the back.

We stop in every trip. I love looking through the books. We usually buy a coffee to enjoy while we are in there.

I absolutely love that place. I think the Ellen tie-in is pretty cool (I think I've heard Imagineer talk about that before...)

I wish they'd expand it and carry more books, though.

Awesome place. I like sitting and watching Chip and Dale, or whatever's on. Usually not many people there. It can be slow going if there is a line however. I think they're not usually ready for a crowd. We had a group come in before us once and all got fancy coffees and it took FOREVER to get them done.

That is one of my favorite things about Hollywood Studios..how it seems like just a "place"..but no..it has to some interesting factoid you'd never know.

I can't wait to check this one out!

I'd actually love it if they made it more of a legit book store. Probably no one buys that kind of stuff in Disney World, but not very many people know WS is there anyway. Make it happen Disney!

Is it a very big store?
