No because realists are people that see the things for what they are worth right now, not referring back to the past. Both are correct in their own way, but, some can appreciate what is still there and the others are still mourning what has gone. And, in my opinion, it has gone and never will completely return. It is a different world now, not necessarily a better one, but, it is the world we live in.
Sorry, but that for sure is the definition of doom and gloomers. Just the fact that you called it dog doo is testament to that attitude.
It should be sold on eBay with all the other limited edition Disney stuff.
I wouldn't buy a WDW shirt at the Disney store at my local mall, but if they are selling it someone must be buying. Maybe they had a bunch of people asking for WDW merchandise and so they started stocking it. Doesn't seem real likely, but who knows.
This is sickening.
What's wrong with it, you ask?
Nothing.
Except it's at The Disney Store in Pittsburgh, PA.
A whole rack of them, in red and gray.
Seriously, Disney?
is that smog and contamination? or rain?
In my mind that's not the definition at all. A true doom and gloomer always finds a problem with everything Disney does no matter what. If Disney doesn't do something they kill them for it. If they do something new and it's actually good and the doom and gloomer can't find a lot of flaws they fall back on either the fact that it's still way overpriced or that Universal is doing it better/faster/cheaper. If all else fails they make fun of the weight/dress/mental capacity of WDW guests.
If they had decent merchandise managers, they would have balanced the demand with the supply.

Here are a few far fetched reasons I could think of that people might ask for those shirts:
That's all I got.
- Maybe the person went to WDW but forgot to buy a shirt or ran out of money while they were there.
- Maybe the person did buy a shirt at WDW, but lost it or spilled something on it and ruined it.
- Maybe someone is planning a surprise trip to WDW for a Christmas present and wanted something tangible to wrap for the person to open.
I didn't see where the OP said they were deep discounted up to 66% off. Even so, most people on vacation are buying a shirt as a souvenir. How many people are really going to skip the souvenir on vacation because they noticed a hand full of shirts on a rack at their local Disney store? Seems unlikely, but maybe I just look at things differently.
Listen I understand what you are saying, but, one has to realize that the man that set those standards has been dead for 50 years now. There never has been and never will be another like him. We might like the thought of people that are still interested in keeping those standards, but, all the Disney's that cared are now gone as well. That's the reality. In the meantime there is an argument that can be made the in spite of the parks not being what they once were, they are still good places to be unless we spend all our time beating our heads against a steel wall attempting to change things that are not going to change. Then it is nothing but frustration and lack of the ability to enjoy what is there, while that still exists. That is my opinion of the situation.
How does Disneyland merch in an NJ outlet store make any more sense than a WDW shirt in PA? What?
