Sad news for Disneyland custom watch collectors - the watch program in the Fortuosity Shop had been entirely cut! News is that the decision came out of Florida... While Ca's program has been doing well, apparently Fl's has not. I have a custom watch collector for over 20 years - the art is incredible - as you receive a full piece of the art for framing along with your watch. I have a few original pieces - art included and they are stunning. If you go by the shop - you will see an empty window with mo artist there. This is a sad day.
NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Marches my spotted dress down to City Hall to voice my concern. - MrsMears

I'll say it again: One Disney doesn't work. We are not Florida. They are not California. - flukefan

Im a watch enthusiast and besides its obvious function, a watch can be a really nice accent piece in daily wear. Try rubberbanding your phone to your wrist and see how nice that would look. To answer your question, I still use a watch. - IamThePan1 0.9 #43867 11:26AM
Don't tick off the watch enthusiasts (pun intended). - MyPark 944.1 #91 11:32AM
What happens when your phone dies? You start to wish you had a
watch then. - Sharkgrrl19 202.9 #1585 12:09PM
Yep, I started wearing watches again because it was annoying to get my phone out. Plus watches are cool. - ShariRenee 1505.7 #51 12:13PM
Looking at your phone for the time is a fad. Watches are timeless, pun intended. - MrsMears 212.1 #1452 12:56PM
I have to use a watch at work - Cinderkelly 55.7 #3642 1:27PM
I wear a watch because it looks a lot more professional than pulling my phone out to check the time. - tiggertwin 317.8 #531 1:35PM
To say that I love watches would be an understatement. Seven years ago I worked at Fossil for almost a year as a second job for fun. Employees got a free watch if our store won a contest for most units sold in our district/zone every month. In the 10 months I worked there I received six free watches and bought another six watches with a half off discount. I was already addicted to watches before working there and by them time I left had a total of 60 watches in my collection. Most of them are put away in a box but I still wear five of them regularly throughout the week. - KermitFan13 407.5 #321 5:10PM
That is sad news! - LisaMouse7531

This is really disappointing. If you would like to see this stay, or have some around, visit City Hall and let your opinion be known. It may help change their decision! - IDVandalSkipperCM

Thank you great idea. I will next week when I am there. I loved that spot and remember saving up to buy my dad one many years ago. - ShariRenee 1505.7 #51 12:13PM
Why do they have to cut our program just because Florida's isn't doing well?? Not fair :( - JRDrummer_CM

I never realized you got a piece of art with your watch... Is this already over or is there an end date? - cynDOLEwhip

It went into force yesterday. Please let Disney know if you disagree with this decision. - Sfarrell

That is so very sad. We took a picture of that empty chair because my good friend's Dad was an artist and that was his chair. He passed away a few year ago. How very sad that it will not be there anymore. 😥 - adisneyfamily

I did go by City Hall today to express my sadness. I also requested a hard address to send a "real" letter to Disney. Please pass your opinion on to City Hall if you disagree w/this decision. Peace- - Sfarrell

That's a shame. I miss when the Fortuosity shop sold mostly watches. Will be sad not to see the artists in the window at work. - Mimmy

Florida is known as the F word backstage. We get the dumbest decisions handed down to us. They tried to take away our winter wear. Their reasoning was we don't need it, why do you. Have any of those execs tried to greet children in 40 degree weather wearing a green mini dress. I think not! Florida, harumph! - AWholeNewWorld

😳 That's terrible. However, I think disney keeps an eye on mw, so just be careful about criticizing the mouse, okay? 😁 - bluefairy 627.1 #174 12:41AM
Shoot....I need to go get the nurse one soon then - KissDclown
