I was looking at the shop park app and saw these:

I'm pretty much sold on the black and white one and the Minnie Mouse one for Kapono, but I'm up in the air about the Mickey. People already think she is a boy despite her all pink harness and leash now. They are super cute and I will get 20% off with the ap discount

Oh my gosh! These are so cute. I already have Jasmine in a Minnie collar. So really, the harness would just be so the poor girl could match.

Food theme park -- :hilarious:



Yes, I found the "park" reference quite amusing as well. ;) But, now I'm thinking--(for newbies)--just exactly how is Disney marketing Disney Springs? If you've never been to WDW, would it appear to be another one of the parks at WDW? Just a random thought here--I wonder if she's not only one who misinterpreted the marketing campaign. (Then, too, some people don't pay attention to details, and might just quickly glance at the ad.)

That is why Market Place, Downtown Disney The DisneyVillage way back were better marketing branding. The word "springs" is over used all over 40 miles of property now there is a Canteen in both MK and DisneySprings for dining. That will confuse guests and both new. Much like Liberty venues confuse guests.

Don't get it, so many vocabulary words out there

We have no Disney Store near us. :( When we were in a more populated area and not near a dead mall, we would go into Disney Store to get our Disney fix.

I do live by a Disney Store, and I used to do this. But, now it is more like a little kid toy store. They might have one very small table with a few shirts, and a couple of mugs on the back wall. :(

When I first started working at the Disney Store in '09 there was a decent amount of adult merch. The animation cells were long gone, but, we had 2 tables full of adult T's, a wall fixture and floor fixture full of mugs, a whole floor fixture full of really nice and large and intricate (and definitely not cheap) snow globes, a fixture full of adult Nightmare Before Christmas collectibles around the Holidays, etc. By the time I left in '13 The snow globes and NBC merch., etc., had all been discontinued at our store.
And yes, there were definitely less mugs and adult T's, and those items were pretty much all the adult merch. that was left.
Definitely disappointing.

Do you remember these? Clackers. Instead of slamming each other they tended to knock you upside the head, mouth and eyes.

Or do you remember weaving pot holders?

Or remember washing your hair with Lemon Up? each bottle had the juice of a whole lemon.

Not necessarily--most of those cards are fairly useless, in dollar amounts. I have a friend who collected cards (hundreds and hundreds according to him) most of his life, and he's gone to many card shows down through the years. He told me that he can only view it as a hobby only now, as it's one of the worst investments you can make. Very few cards draw a premium in resale.

Yea, I'm definitely no expert when it comes to collecting any kind of sports memorabilia, and why anybody would do it as anything other than a hobby, I don't know. But, I've heard more than one story over the years of someone finding collectible "gold" in some random forgotten/almost forgotten box...! ;) :)

I agree. The only ones we had in the malls near us all shut down years ago. The one time we went in one on vacation a couple of years back in another state, they only had kid's clothes. I always loved shopping there before we went on a Disney vacation.
