i heard they were doing away with the resort specific merchandise, has anyone seen this while visiting recently
When we were there in mid-January, we saw resort specific merchandise at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Port Orleans. HTH.
maybe it was just the DVC stuff.
but i thought i heard they were fadding out the resort stuff because it was costing too much to print all the different logos on the same merchandise.
thanks for checking on me, we want to get some FW stuff on our next trip since we have not stayed there in a while.
Update: just got back and I did ask for you and I was told they ARE discontinuing all the resort specific merchandise, no reason given but we can all bet it has to do with the money. :(
i can see big ticket items that might cost alot to print resort specific stuff on, but i wonder how much it really costs to print resort stuff on like glasses or magnets etc.
Just hope that FW still has some stuff left that has not sold when we go in 3 months.
I understand the need to buy/sell in quanity to get better pricing, but it is just one more thing that has diminishes the WDW experience. I use to enjoy visiting other resorts to see what merchandise they had, but now they all have the same. I spend alot less time in the shops now than I used to, and spend less as well.
Also, we use to enjoy the resort bars for their unique beverages and appetizers at each one. Now they all have the same drink and appetizer menu. By the end of the week, one is really tired of seeing the same old things. It use to be nice to look forward to something different at each resort.
