V.I.P.
It's sort of a bummer to hear these negative reviews. The LA version is still held in pretty high esteem... but I do think location makes a difference. The LA version is not part of a greater mall, it's sort of out of the way. It's more of a destination unto itself, so dressing up is part of the deal.
I can see how in Disney Springs, where there are so many other options that you don't have to dress up for, it'd be less successful. Also, you don't the authenticity of the LA version. Out here, the owner is locally well known for very carefully reproducing as much authentic kitsch to places that have fallen into disrepair (he spent years on Clifton's Cafe, another local institution that has to be seen to be believed, and much of it has been preserved).
I must admit, when I did hear they were bringing Edison to Disney Springs, I also questioned the location and vibe/authenticity. Those of you not liking that one, I do encourage you to try ours, the original.
