It's the language - there are a huge number of Europeans that do NOT speak English. It would not be practicle to do them in different languages -- the only one that would make sense would be English or French -- either way, the French won't buy them. If it's in English, they will stay away from them like the plague. If they are in French, they will scratch their heads and say, "why would I want THAT?"...You might get some sales for US, British, and some other customers (you, DutchDisneyFan!) , but that would be about it. The local visitors to the park do not have that "I need to take a souvenir home with me" and they certainly don't have the "I have to have a Mickey talk to me" mentality. If you go, watch the French at the shops -- they immediately bypass all of the stuffed animals and Disney items and go directly to the backpacks and the t-shirts.
