We got there just before they opened.
Once they opened, we made our way in (the cast member noticed my Disney shirt). It felt very much like a typical Disney Store. They have a few shelves that indicated that the items were Disney Outlet "Exclusives".
We saw these head pillows that were outlet exclusives.
We bought two of them, which are now on our sofa in the Family room.
I think the items that are not on sale may have the same price as the regular Disney Stores. As with the Disney Stores, there were a lot of merchandise for Adults. The focus here was clearly on kids/children. I'm disappointed that there were no Chicago-specific merchandise. One still has to go to the Disney stores in downtown Chicago to get such items.
Note: You can get the Mall's Green Savings Card at the Guest Services desk on the first level. It gives you discounts at many (most?) merchants at the mall, including 10% off for at least $40 purchase at the Disney Outlet store. The card costs $5, BUT... if you have AAA card, you get it for FREE.
Just so you know, the traffic so far during the first few days have been horrendous. If you do wish to go during the next few weeks, go there very early in the day. Also, if you drive, the parking at the Mall's ramp can be a bit maddening. The lack of directions, especially adequate signs to point to the parking ramp exits is extremely puzzling. So give yourself a bit of time and a lot of patience.
