Its one of my goals to eventually have the money and the room to buy one of my own.
I used to have one in my room.

Adventureland's traffic patterns have been broken for years and it desperately needed help. Looking at that video that is way too much space to take up for largely junk merchandise. Get rid of the plastic snakes, cheap swords, etc., minimize the room the hats and fedoras are taking up, condense the shirt racks a bit and you could have the good stuff in a corner of one of the other stores jut as easily.
Adventureland has been largely neglected post-Temple of the Forbidden Eye's opening. Sure, they built Aladdin's Oasis (it doesn't belong in Adventureland) and did a horrible overlay of the Tree House when they should have been working on something that unifies the theme in terms of tone and expectations. This, for my money, has helped to exacerbate the traffic flow through Adventureland. Rather than have a collection of things to grab your attention, it's primarily a place to walk through on the way to elsewhere. Frontierland shares this problem too. Perhaps more so.
Oh, and you can lose most of the apparel in the Outpost. Most of it was off brand apparel you could find at PacSun like Quiksilver and O'Neill. I can't imagine they ever sold much, if any, of it. Not at Disney's prices.

Yeah it does kind of give that question as to the distribution of the merchandise in the stores in Disneyland. I honestly wonder if some of it might not be put to the back of stores in Main street, etc. And havent been to Downtown Disney in a while but I can always try to check next time
Mice Chat is
reporting that the entire front section of the Bazaar is now comprised of Indiana Jones merchandise. Scroll down about three quarters for a coupe of pictures. The rest of the construction is supposed to be open again on Friday.
The Bengal Barbecue is also getting
new food options according to the Disney Parks Blog.

In the heart of Adventureland at Disneyland park, it’s hard to miss Bengal Barbecue. The smell of fire-cooked meats and vegetables lures explorers to its thatched roof. Today, I’m excited to share new menu items that are now available at Bengal Barbecue.
Ahi Poke Spring Roll – Marinated Ahi tuna with crisp lettuce, carrots, daikon, pickled cucumber, cilantro, Thai basil, mint, sliced jalapeños and creamy wasabi mayo rolled in a rice paper wrap. Served with a delectable side of ginger dipping sauce.

Hummus Trio – Three delicious house-made varieties of hummus, jalapeño, black bean, red pepper and feta are served with an assortment of fresh vegetables.
Jungle Julep – A tropical slush with grape, orange, pineapple and lemon. This drink is sure to take your taste buds on a tropical vacation!

Does anyone know if Indiana Jones licensed merchandise will still be available to purchase at other stores in the park? Being from NY, I don't frequent either of the resorts often but the Disney parks seem to be the only stores that sell Indiana Jones merchandised licensed by Lucasfilm.
As previously mentioned, Florida still has an Adventure Outpost as does Paris. Despite the name, however, Paris felt like Indiana Jones was an afterthought; it had more
The Jungle Book and
The Lion King merchandise, and this video seems to confirm that it's still that way.
They gave me a good deal on a King Louie!

Florida doesn't look much better either.

OT, granted, but I wholeheartedly agree.
Shh! Though, to be perfectly fair, unless something drastic happens, I have no interest in the future of the series.
