Let's go shopping! This week on the Carousel Project Podcast we're covering the history of The Disney Store. Our journey starts back in the 1920's when Walt and Roy first licensed a Disney character! (Hint: It's NOT Mickey.) We take a trip through the rise and fall of the Disney Store starting all the way back in 1987! Josie, Kait, and Adam discuss their favorite Disney Store memories, merchandise, and more. You'll also learn WAY too much about Disney Consumer Products, so strap in!
