NEW YORK - Walt Disney Co., aiming to be more than a Mickey Mouse operation, is branching out into furniture, linens and even wine.

Starting this fall, Burbank, Calif.-based Disney will unveil a line of home goods including lighting products made by the Minka Group. Disney also plans to market a fashion bath-and-bedding collection with Dan River, and outdoor tabletops and entertaining products with Zak Designs next year.

Need to watch for the home line. I have a Lane Cedar Chest that is Disney themed (upholstery on lid) that I got probably 10 years ago. Would love to find some other good things for the home.
