Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

[Aladdin]

Vault 28 just opened it's doors yesterday, October 11, 2006,
and there are several topics already reporting the ludicrous
price points and lack of annual passholder and cast member
discounts. With the VERY limited base of customers who will
actually purchase anything in the store, it's already painfully
obvious that this store ain't gonna be around for long.

SO, let's have a little fun! Let's play "What date will Vault 28
Close (go out of business)!" (no wagering, please, this is just
for fun.)

I will guess Tax Day April 15th, 2007/

Re: Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

Too hard to guess....but I still do not see a huge support for this store. They are trying to merge to demographics that can't be merged.

1. High-end, high-fashion, lots of money, shopaholics.
2. Disney fans.

Anything with Mickey Mouse on it cannot be forced into the realm of high-end fashion. Disney is about magic, fun, and fans--not style. Trying to combine the two will unlikely work (IMHO)

That being said...companies launch stuff all the time and watch them fail---all a part about doing business. Who would of thought AstoBlasters would have had such a strong following from adults? You never know unless you try...so Kudos to Vault 28 for trying something new.

Re: Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

well Im poor folk here so that would one store where I would have to go in just to look, But you never know it could do very well during the holidays, lets give it a chance. However the chances of me buying anything in there are very slim to none! I bet they have pretty stuff though.

Re: Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

I think it will do well through this holiday season. But unless they lower prices I don't see it staying open for too long. But yes, kudos to them at least testing the 'coture' waters.

I disagree. I think that there are shopaholic, well-to-do Disney fans out there. The two do not necissarily counter each other. I think the problem is that such a market base is WAY too small to support such a store.

I'm going to prognosticate that it'll be closed before 2008. I think they'll give it two holiday seasons before pulling the plug though.

I checked out the store myself yesterday, and i am pretty impressed on the mechendise that they sell there.

Not unlike the always nearly empty Anne Geddes shop across from WoD. Now that would be the perfect location for an AP holders clubhouse...or bar.

Like your way of thinking!

As far as the Vault....I think we'll all be surprised just how well it will do! I'm not giving a closure date as of yet.

Are these clothes only sold in there stores. Is there a website you can order online from them.

Re: Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

I'll play,
Say the week after Labor Day 2007 - September 9, 2007

Re: Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

I think it will do well. The $50 - $60 T-shirts in World Of seem to move quickly.

Shopping is shopping, and impulse buying is even more lucrative. There's market precedence for not-inexpensive items like this, Kitson and Fred Segal have paved the way for this stuff. But Vault 28 is onsite and now part of the DLR experience. If the publicity is right and the celebrity shoppers show up for the events and on their own it can only help. If you build it, they'll bring the credit cards. For just exactly how long, we'll see.

How spectacularly hideous!

Re: Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

Because it's an actual Disney shop with Disney merchandise, they'll pay to keep it open no matter how well it does.

Re: Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

I say March 2007.

I agree! I wouldn't want to wear it if you paid me.

[FLtoCali]

Re: Guess What Date "Vault 28" Will Close!

It won't close for a really long time, if at all...they'll just change the merchandise if its not working...
