Disney Has Officially Taken Over Disney Stores

It's official. Disney Stores now belong to Disney, as it should be.

Walt Disney Co. said Thursday it has taken over the Disney Store chain in North America from Children's Place Retail Stores, and will close about 98 stores U.S. and two in Canada.


I am actually rather excited and curious to what they intend to do with the stores that they are planning to keep. I hope that they will have more emphasis on home decor, adult clothings, etc., rather than the current emphasis on children-related merchandise. And please, add more Disney Store-exclusive pins! That is one sure way to get pin fanatics that can't make it to a Disney theme park to keep coming.

.. and I won't even charge Disney a fee for those free advice! :)

I'm also curious if they'll restore full cast-member status to the Disney Stores employees.
