Disney's Por Favor T-Shirt (Gracias Hot Pants Next?)
Nearly everyone who has visited Disney World has ridden the monorail, and everyone who rides it hears the dulcet tones of Jack Wagner: "por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas".
Translation: please stand clear of the doors.
Disney saw gold in Por Favor and recently put it on a T-shirt (pins, toys, and hats, too), reports Chad Emerson in a feature for Blooloop, a site that covers theme parks from a business perspective.
Chad spoke with Disney artist Doug Strayer and product developer Laura Caszatt about the new 'Por Favor' line and other trends in Mouse merchandise. Caszatt trumpets the T-shirt as a big seller though fails to explain that the best way to put it on is before you take small children by the hand.
My preferred summer attire is the unbuttoned, over-sized Hawaiian shirt, worn over a solid-colored 'T', but every so often I come across a novelty T that enhances my flair: Por Favor is such a T.
By the way, if the name Chad Emerson sounds familiar, it's because he's the author of Project Future, a book that chronicles the creation of Disney World and available on Amazon where it continues to sell briskly.
