Rawlings Opens One of a Kind Location at Downtown Disney
Sep 13, 2007

WDW Public Affairs - LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., September 12, 2007 – A new Downtown Disney merchandise location operated by Rawlings offers guests the opportunity to play baseball like the pros with personalized bats and gloves, balls and helmets.

Located inside the Team Mickey Athletic Club, Rawlings officially opened on Sept. 10 and has special viewing areas where guests can see their names, signatures and even their amateur team’s logos laser-engraved or embroidered on the item of their choice.

While Rawlings has a game-day presence at seven ballparks across the country, the Team Mickey location offers a more extensive line of products and is the first to be open daily year-round.

“Our guests want variety in their activities and entertainment,” said Keith Bradford, vice president, operating participants, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts. “Working with partners like Rawlings complements our own efforts to provide guests with experiences they won’t find anywhere else.”

Operating Participants – third-party operators that offer a variety of goods and services directly to Walt Disney World guests – employ an estimated 15,000 workers at the resort. With approximately 100 operating participant companies in 150 locations, they can be found in virtually all theme parks, resorts, water parks, Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex and Downtown Disney.
