Apr. 22--Walt Disney World's plans for its 2002 Disneyana show in August are causing grumbling among exhibitors who don't like a new rule.
Disney said it will eliminate the former flat fees charged for table and booth space at the show and instead take 35 percent of all memorabilia sales.
And just to make sure it's paid full freight, Disney says employees at Epcot, where the four-day event will be held starting Aug. 22, will ring up every sale. They will work with a price list supplied by each exhibitor.
That means one of the show's venerable highlights -- price negotiating between exhibitors and shoppers -- will be history.
