Title: Japan Disney Store Is Sold Back to TWDC
Post by: dagobert on February 27, 2010, 01:03:37 PM
The Oriental Land Company, operator and owner of Tokyo Disney Resort, sold the Disney Store in Japan back to TWDC.

I think Disney now owns all Disney Stores in the world again.

Thanks for the link, this is very sad news for anyone who has ever visited the Disney Store's in Japan. The Japan Disney Store's offer a lot of unique merchandise that will sadly be miss as Disney will likely have a new vision for what to do with these Store's. The end result on Disney's plans for its Store's will not be clear until the Times Square Store opens in New York, but I will have to take the time out in a few weeks to pop by the Disney Store in  Shibuya and admire its Castle farcade once more before Disney start revamping and changing the merchandise, sad times :(
