Improving Disney Shopping, part 2: Now Buy Park Merchandise Online

A few months ago, Web Watch posted a piece on IMPROVING DISNEY SHOPPING where we posted the following:

All Disney has to do is return to making merchandise special. “Plus” the shopping experience again. Cater merchandise to all customers, not just the kids. And remember to market all the characters like they used to do. Not all women want Tinkerbell or Princess merch. Not all men want Grumpy, Goofy, or Big Bad Wolf items. Not everyone wants a T-shirt, baseball cap, boxer shorts, or coffee mug. Give us variety. Give us quality. Give us something other than what you currently are doing.

We then asked an open-ended question to Disney, as to whether they would be smart enough to sell [us] the right stuff…. aside from more duck butt hats, of course.

It looks like someone may have been listening.

You’ve seen Photomosaics before, right? That’s where you take hundreds or thousands of pictures and then combine them into one giant picture of something else?

You know, like this Tigger jigsaw puzzle. The image is made of thousands upon thousands of animated cells, combined to make a single image of Tigger.

Well, here’s a website that lets you do the same sort of thing, but using YouTube videos instead. (Thanks, Alain!)

Glamour Magazine recently reported the RESULTS OF A SURVEY THAT ASKED 1,000 WOMEN ABOUT THEIR BATHROOM (and other gross) HABITS.

Why would they do this? Because after Kelly Clarkson admitted that she pees in the shower, peeing in the shower became the “it” thing to do.

How To Lose Your Guy Card: Does a Double-Standard Exist vs Chick Cards?

1 Comment on How To Lose Your Guy Card: Does a Double-Standard Exist vs Chick Cards?

At a party the other day, the girls were talking about various chick things, like shoes, when one of the men threw out their opinion on the current topic.

The women pounced on the opportunity, loudly proclaiming that the guy who dared voice his opinion had “lost his guy card”. The conversation quickly went badly for the men in the room as they defended their buddy’s innocuous comment.

Whether the men were successful in their defense or not is really not today’s topic – but rather, the one question left unanswered that night:

If there are at least 16 WAYS FOR A MAN TO LOSE HIS GUY CARD (give or take five or more other ways), can a woman lose her CHICK CARD? And if so, how?

How To Improve Walt Disney World Transportation

PROGRESS CITY USA has posted #3 on their list of TEN WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR: OVERHAUL DISNEY TRANSPORTATION, and I couldn’t agree more.

To quote:

Basically, unless you’re just going from your hotel to a theme park and back, internal transportation is a headache. Fixing the system would require a massive investment, tackling many separate goals simultaneously. It would require an entirely different plan for the resort’s infrastructure, and it’s needed immediately. They won’t do it, but they should.

I have one suggestion that would address this current transportation problem at Walt Disney World with an idea that would dramatically increase guest satisfaction. It won’t solve the immediate issue at hand, but keeping guests happy in the short run can buy some time until a better transporation plan is developed.
