Discounts in the parks

We were at Animal Kingdom this past Saturday the 21st and I was noticing a lot of sale signs. They were in the stores, and at souvenir carts all over the place, 15% off this 25% off that. I just thought it was kind of odd cause I don't normally see sales at the stores in the park like it was your local department store or something. Anybody else notice this and is it like this in the other parks?

When I was at WDW in December 2007 and again in December 2008, I did see things on sale. That was surprising to me. Maybe they do it when they are getting ready to bring in the new seasons things.

I can see sale signs in December to get rid of the end of the year stuff to make way for the new stuff-- but its almost March now.

During Mousefest in December a lot of the Christmas merchandise and other merchandise was 40 to 50 percent off. I think it's Disney's way to get people to buy their merchandise during these tough economic conditions.

Na most of this was regular items, not date specific stuff or xmas stuff.
