Disney Store Brand Name Retuning Feb 14th, 2024. It is confirmed and official that the Walt Disney Company is changing its shopDisney brand and marketplace to become Disney Store. While this is not the old ‘The Disney Store’, it might as well be. Disney Store will be rolled out across North America.
There is going to be a complete rebranding of the website, all social media channels, packaging, and of course marketing.
So technically this is not a re-re-branding, without Disney using ‘The’ in front of the Disney Store name, it is actually considered a new name. Fine print and all that jazz. Disney Store/shopDisney is under the Disney Experiences Division.
Consumer Products, Games, and Publishing (CPGP) is the division of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products (DPEP) that brings beloved brands and franchises into the daily lives of families and fans through products – from toys to t-shirts, apps, books, console games and more – and experiences that can be found around the world, including on the shopDisney e-commerce platform and at Disney Parks, local and international retailers, as well as Disney store locations globally.

RETAIL:
The Walt Disney Company’s retail footprint includes the global shopDisney e-commerce platform and shopping experiences in Disney Parks, lifestyle and outlet locations, stores, and third-party retailers around the world, including Disney store shop-in-shops at select third-party retailers.
Last week we wrote about how other blogs had covered this news, and more importantly Disney had asked them to remove the posts. We said at the time, that this could still happen, but the issue we pointed out was how others followed suit and reposted without giving the first one credit and didn’t follow through when the first one had to take the post down.
All the information below comes directly from the shopDisney, soon-to-be Disney Store, website.
Here is everything we know as of right now:
What is changing?
Disney-owned shops, e-commerce, shop-in-shops, and outlets are coming under one brand name: Disney Store.
