Originally Posted By geniesjoy Hi all-just called the Sac Diz store & asked if they were closing. They said no but pretty sure they wouldn't say if they were. I go in there but like already posted not much for adults. (I save my MINNIE MOUSE JEANS for DL that I got there a couple of years ago.)

When anyone in any job loses that job due to downsizing or closure, they also lose their benefits (unless they can retire). Why are you holding Disney to a different standard than any other business?

Originally Posted By ajnhollysmommy the store I use to worked at in Boise is closing. Its all part of the 5 yr plan. While 10 stores are closing 20 new stores are opening. The new stores will be a child driven - the under 8 age group I am guessing looking at the POS items they have now. Gone are the days with Adult driven items. They did not sell really unless on sale. The Boise store made a profit but most likely did not make enough of a profit to remodel the store to the new concept store they have in planning. As a regular CM at the Disney Store you do not get an ID that gets you unlimited Disney Parks use. What you do recieve is 2x's a year a 1 day park hopper per spouse and dependant. So for our family of 4 we were able to get into Disneyland for 2 days out of a 365 days. We did recieve a 20% discount.Not on all food places at the parks (this was lower then our discount we had under Childrens place) As a store manager CM you would recieve a "maingate" pass that would allow you to visit only during non blackout periods and I think you could take 3 others with you. When a Disney store closes they try very hard to assist those CM's find new jobs. They are still a company and in buisness to make money. As far as keeping those Disney benifits- it is not much to want keep. I also have not heard of any other buisness who would allow you to keep your benifits after a closure.
