...There's two at JSC in Space Center Disney, and one in the smaller
cafeteria near Building 1. The two at SCD are different, as one caters
more to the expensive items. The bigger one, however, tends to have
really nice closeout specials from time to time. That's how I walked
out with some two dozen 2x worm logo polos in '00 that were my size
for ~$5.00 a pop, and two 3x ones at $4.00 for some odd reason.

The thing I wanted most was to replace my blue worm logo cotton polo
shirt. I'm still wearing one that's 10 yrs old. No go. You got a
good deal; the only worm shirts I saw were a funky greenish gold color
that didn't thrill me. Give me the plain blue shirt with the white worm
logo any day. Very understated. (sci.space.fashion anyone?)

...The one thing I wish they still had at the gift shops were the
recycled Major Matt Mason dolls. The cafeteria shop gal I talked to
back in '99 said that they had those still sitting around until about
'96 or thereabouts and they weren't moving until one day some guy came
in and bought the entire case of a hundred or so that were left. She
didn't even have a clue until a few weeks later when some JSC employee
came in asking about them because he'd found out they were MMM dolls
in cheap boxes, and he'd just given his grandson his kid's MMM toys as
hand-me-downs.

Ooh. Major Matt Mason. Didn't he have feet that fit in the triangular
grid of the MMM Space Station? He had a whole bunch of cool accessories.
