hey disney! where are the movies at?

so this is a long time problem i have had with visiting disney resorts; where are the disney movies?

i can hear many of you now along with the cast members calling out that almost every shop on disney property sells movies.  while true i am not talking about the latest disney channel made for tv movie now available on dvd or the one movie currently released from the disney vault.  where can i find a selection of the vast disney movie library?

i can go to my local electronics super store or mega-bookstore and find a thousand times more disney films then i can actually at disney. why is that?  the one place on property i was able to find a good selection of disney movies was the virgin mega store which sadly has gone away and wasn't really a disney store.

i recently went to disneyland and the upcoming release of tron: legacy was everywhere; t-shirts, hats, toys, even a street party, but where in the hundred shops selling tron products can i find the movie tron? no where! that's where.

the first time i went to downtown disney in california i was very excited to see a store called the disney vault.  all right a the place where disney tells us all the disney classic films are kept only to be released once a decade for limited times and now here it is the repository of disney movies.  ARRRGGH! the disney vault while a cool disney store holds not a single disney film. why not?

in the disney vault concept the disney company has the perfect retail outlet for their fiilms.  imagine the extra incentive of traveling to a disney resort of getting to visit the disney vault an chosig any film from the disney past even the ones that are "in the vault" as the commercials we all see on tv say.  imagine this, disney imagineers have recently discovered walt's plans for the repository of his vast film archive and now that vault is open to the world.

please disney let me buy your movies from you.  let me come home from my trip to the beach club with a copy of condorman and the last flight of noah's ark.
