I guess it is not this specific product but more the overwhelming and total lack of ANY souvenir from Disney that is made in the good ole USA. As I walk through all of the souvenir shops at Disney I always pick up items and look for place of manufacture and have never even once found one item made here. Am I a dinosaur...yes, but I stand by my resolution that there needs to be a "spread the wealth" attitude and not all offshore products.
In my own business I will not even entertain carrying products from offshore and after 14 years of being in business I can tell you it is possible to operate and prosper in this fashion without compromising my beliefs so for Disney to at least make an effort to keep some of these dollars here is not too much to ask. We, as a society have gotten so blase about this that we just shrug it off but the global economy seems to be good for every other country we do business with and not so much for us. We do not keep our dollars here and do not enforce any sort of exportation minimums (or at least reasonable ones)...plus other countries don't really care to buy anything we have to sell except for a few technology based items. Our industry is dwindling and in due time we will be like a child who has been handed everything, worked for nothing and does not know how to care for itself anymore unless spoon fed.
Just my point of view and I do not expect anybody else to see it my way. I am not one of these "see it my way or I'll use CAPS LOCK" folks but just putting my $0.02 out there. No debate just me and my thoughts.
