Is this the guy responsible for poor quality apparel and merchandise? The same guy responsible for the stale and generic **** on the shelves of every shop?

We've been saved!!!! (Be careful not to clank your non-dishwasher safe, Disney Parks, glassware together with too much vigor...)
Sorry for quoting myself.
I like the way a word I used, starting with C, was turned to "****". Making it appear much worse.
Winning...

"Before joining Disney in 1993, Mr. Chapek worked in brand management at H.J. Heinz Company and in advertising at J. Walter Thompson."

"He also served as President of Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, where he spearheaded the successful “vault strategy” for the company’s iconic films and transformed the primary format of home entertainment from DVD to Blu-ray."

Well.... he's a marketing guy. Its a faint glimmer of hope.

Lets hope he understands long-term ROI and moves P&R back to a strategy where you get a guest for life, rather than a one-and-done.

I guess what I'm saying is that there's a chance.

You know what's funny?
You've obviously never had to come into a messed up position where the guy that messed it up is your boss. Aside from maybe McPhee taking the tumble for mm+ it will be business as usual

Please do not assume anything about me in which you do not know.

But, basically you are saying it is doubtful he will have any influence as to what goes on at all, correct?

Disney store near me is pretty decent. I miss the giant mountain of stuff animals that I knew of as a kid but it's well themed if not a bit crowded with merchandise at times.

And HOW MUCH merchandise is for Adults? One Friggin Shelving unit of shirts with characters that are rather meh...

At least you have a store. They ripped the beautiful one out of our little local mall (a heart breaker as it had some old style characters moving near the ceiling as well as in the front displays), and then gutted the large one in the big mall 30 minutes down the road. By gutted, I mean they ripped all soul out of the place, including carpeting and left it as bare concrete. What you have there is beautiful and reminds me of what that place once was.
