Anymore updates on the Character Warehouse? Our local Disney Outlet opened Tuesday.
My daughter checked yesterday, July 3rd- still closedI went to the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets last Thursday. The Character Warehouse there was still closed
Any insight as to why they are not open? I was wondering if they took the cm's and used them to staff the parks.
I heard that the Character Warehouse CMs have been temporarily reassigned to other roles at Disney World, but I don’t think that’s why they’re still closed.
I thought maybe it’s because of crowd control. They already had an issue with people lining up pre-COVID, and with limited capacity it could become a logistical nightmare. Or maybe with limited capacity they don’t feel like it’s worth it to open.
But I imagine with the parks unexpectedly closed for a few months, they must have an excess of merchandise they need to get rid of!
Not a bad idea.They should do it like Universal at least for the time being and move all the merchandise to a large convention space in one of the hotels and let people shop there. They can prepare for the line spacing and have a large indoor shopping area that can be spread out. They can even implement a virtual cue like they did for the World of Disney at Disney Springs and have people come back at certain times If the line gets too long.
