Have you been getting a daily spam email from Disney? I have. Now they're really in hot water. Don't be suprised if they go under if they have a disappointing holiday season, if they can make it that long. Just hope the few good/talented people that remain there (Kevin, Jody and a few of the online people) get out of there before it is too late!

Originally Posted By vbdad55 I also believe stopping the catalog a major mistake -- for those who shop on line snend them an email asking if they would be OK with just on-line ( I am ) - and maybe put out less issues- but to stop it completely ignores too large a segment of the populace .....just IMHO

Originally Posted By Dznygrl I really miss the catalog. The catalog is what got me looking/buying at the merchandise since it comes in the mail. I don't go out of my way to look for Disney merch via the online store. Plus most importantly, I always looked forward to the cover art. A lot of it was super cute. I saved my favorites, but I would have liked to have MORE.
