Additionally, this isn't just a normal situation, but a co-branded offer where Disney was using this specifically as a unique partnership.

Nobody knows that except weirdos online, i.e. us.

In the DFW area, they closed all the stores except the generic outlet store in an outlet mall, if that tells you anything about what they determined is worth keeping open...

An outlet where unsold merch goes to die is still open in Pigeon Forge too.

Eh it's all relative. People liked the Disney Store and are probably nostalgic now, but they apparently didn't like shopping at the mall all that much.

I don’t actually lament the loss of the physical Disney stores.

But the target move was crass nonetheless. Either sell your stuff with few stores - like lego - or go online.

Slaphead tried to have it both ways and it’s repugnant.

…one of these days he’s gonna get fired for cheap moves like this…mark my words

Why Bob Iger's Ultimate Power Move May Be Selling Disney to Apple

"This is the pinnacle deal for the ultimate dealmaker," one studio insider says

I promise i didnt write this article lol

I didn't say it was acceptable, I said people aren't going to blame Disney for it. And yes, Disney should audit the displays and hold Target accountable and we have no reason to believe they don't.

Again, this is a screenshot posted by laid off employees who are salty and out to prove a point. It is not evidence that closing the Disney Stores was a bad idea.

I went in and cleaned up the display. We can relax now...

My shopDisney app hasn't worked on Android in months, possibly last year.

The Disney+ app is starting to be unreliable on my Chromecast as well.

It’s a Theme Park, a cruise line, a streaming service…these aren’t three things...

Well that’s a totally different problem…

It’s horrendous

There’s no way they can explain that either other than Disney prides itself on the least productive IT ever

Android/Google users... they might be what we call "the poors"

While I would never be caught dead in a Disney store- having a physical Disney 'location' for those that either can't afford, or live too far from the parks is essential for building brand loyalty among young kids.

You didn’t see my question in another response?

How old are you? Yes…that matters here.

Raidermatt has been around since the early 00's on the DIS. He's older than me, and from a business/financial background. You aren't arguing with a Zoomer, or Millennial, if that is what you are asking.

No need to assume financial condition they might just be cheap.....

So you think neither company has any skin in the game because the lay don't know? And they just don't care about their own deals?

You go with that...

Good…because that is important.

Now I need to get him on the couch and discuss this god complex for Frank wells

It’s not the Disney store that was the problem…it was the mall model that is close to dead already

They build medical clinics and hipster apartments in ours now.

Anyway to merge the Iger threads?

It makes it harder to follow.

Bristol Va is a pre Hard Rock casino until the new building is up. Makes more money than a hot mall ever thought of making.

Junking the Disney Stores, while shedding some expense, also hid the fact that they had started to send the same generic "Disney" stuff to both the stores and the parks.

I remember seeing a Mickey Mouse bag in the parks at full price and then at my local Disney store (not an outlet) on sale the following week.

I do miss the outlet I had near me in Mississippi - they'd send a bunch of Disneyland stuff there for cheap!
