The most visible sign yet of the 10-year deal signed in 2007 between Walt Disney World and Hanes Brands Inc. is expected to debut today when the Disney's Design a Tee Presented by Hanes shop begins a soft opening in Downtown Disney's Marketplace.

The shop, next to The Art of Disney store at the east end of Downtown Disney, will allow customers to use one of eight touch-screen kiosks to design their own short- or long-sleeve T-shirts, featuring more than 300 items of Disney art and up to four lines of text, and have them printed while they wait.

"They select a shirt style, color and art, write a personal message or select from a set of programmed messages," said Hanes marketing director Dudley Gentry.

Prices range from $20 to $30. Shirts are made in about 15 minutes, he said, and patrons can wait and watch them being made on video screens, pick them up later or have them delivered.

That sounds cool .... hey mousefesters, let us know what it looks like ;

 

Only sad part is that we lost the use of the tinkerbell meter so no more WDW postmark when we send letters/postcards from DTD!
