Bonjour Village Gifts Changes

[danlb_2000]

This change to Bonjour Village Gifts happened a month or so ago and I have to say it is very disappointing. This was such a nicely themed shop.

So now, instead of unique, orginal merch, it's cheap, plastic crap you can buy at Walmart. Yay!

Brought to you by the same management team who thought a DJ on Main Street Station would be a nice touch for the end of a day at the Magic Kingdom.

The conversation heart-looking decals really compliment the portrait of Phil.

Yah this is a giant fail

That is sad but I wonder if sales were down in this location. I wish they made more of an effort to make the products blend in without giant signage.

When you offer the same merchandise in 472 locations around the property... Offer some area-specific merchandise and, like you said, do away with the hit-you-over-the-head signage and see how things go. Management may be surprised at the result.

I'm beyond expecting interesting and unique merchandise at the parks at this point, but the signage here is what takes this example over the edge for me. Really looks like they're just treating it like a store in a suburban shopping mall rather than part of a theme park.
