Here is what I wanted my post to say: WDW Merchandise by in large caters to the budget conscious, first time WDW visitor who wants only plush and generic t-shirts. Yes, there is absolutely a market for those items. But with 5000 condos built or being built, there is also a market for higher end merchandise and merchandise that appeals to repeat visitors and annual passholders. Wake up WDW mgmt!

54	-em Thu 11/13/2008 2:59p	Today I stopped at DTD to get the resort holiday pins and the piece of history that were released today (the fact the holiday pins are at DTD is a whole other argument but anyways) and what should've been a 5 min trip was almost 30 due to the lack of organization and forward thinking on oh we have a mega pin release (21 pins released total today) lets see how to make it as difficult as possible... Having them behind the register was okay (and understandable) but having it be the *only* open register in a fairly busy shop was not and not having some form of line control (esp as there were CMs wandering about) was not.. I started in line being about 3 people back and somehow ended up about 10 back by the time I got through... Add that the CMs were more involved at pin trading then selling made for a bad experience... I could've been in and out of both resorts in the time it took at DTD... the pins arn't all that pretty anyway (I hate being a completist in my Wilderness Lodge/Fort collection) If only it was my store- there would have been ORDER! Its not that hard!

I don't collect pins, but we had to get that one. Funny how a little thing like that defines such a grand resort for me. >> If only it was my store- there would have been ORDER!

I do have to say I did get the look at work when I said I wasn't get the 'temp pin only the Fort and Lodge... Shows where my allegiances lie.. >>>> If only it was my store- there would have been ORDER! Its not that hard! << It's not hard because you care.<< Aww thanks :)
