Disney Reorganization Effective Immediately

[Disneyhead]

I guess the shareholder's rejection of Iger's compensation was heard loud and clear.

Disney announces strategic reorganization, effective immediately

And this reorganization puts merchandising together with the parks sooo...customers will likely be seeing a focus on hard sells coming to WDW. Sounds magical.

Best case: Disney's retail stores become a lot more like the theme parks. Better merch, more store theming.

Worst case: Disney's theme park stores become a lot more like the retail stores. More generic merch, all stores feel the same.

I personally don't see anything else in the parks changing because of this move.

Well, they recently overhauled their retail stores to be rather plain & non-descript. I think they're going in the direction of pushing sales in the parks, just my opinion, guess we'll see what happens.

They are currently in the process of stripping the theming from World of Disney and making it far more generic and modern.

That should tell you all you need to know about where things are headed.

Boy there's nothing like going to Walt Disney World and bringing back generic Disney Parks souvenirs.

I didn't say anything about generic souvenirs, it's the store that will LOOK generic/modern.

I stand corrected. I was more just having fun with the Disney Parks merchandise.

I mean yeah, most is pretty generic. But they have been getting more creative with it in some areas recently. Mostly stuff marketed at women, however.

I mean, it would match the feel of Disney Springs a bit..That kind of move doesn't worry me
