Last year, Disney CEO Bob Chapek shared that The Walt Disney Company would be shifting towards a direct-to-consumer focus.

Disney Store

Our Cincinnati Disney Store closed this summer, so sad!
Sad sad days ahead, we don’t shop online and like to see and feel and touch what we are buying. Disney is falling away from Walt’s vision . Maybe internet 3D goggles at home will replace the rides and shows at Disney parks 😳 and you will get prepackaged Disney snacks to eat between videos 😔
We have a store in Lexington KY, but it is not on either list
I’m sure it saves a ton of money, but I’m so sad to see the storefronts go. It’s so much fun to walk through a Disney Store and for those of us who don’t live near the parks this is as good as it gets for us. Right now my store is “saved”, but I wonder how long that will last.
It’s really sad to see all the stores closing. My store closed in April. And now I see that Disney is opening over 100 Disney pop ups in Target. This isn’t. the same experience as the Disney Stores were. They are selling toys and costumes only.
