    Villians Sinister Soirée

    CRT always adds gratuity to the price of your meal, but of course if you had a great experience there, you are more than welcome to tip more when you are there. I am also curious to know how much the servers get from the amount we pay. As it is all traceable, it shows up on the CMs paychecks...

    Please Put Epcot Out Of Its Misery!

    I agree with your assessment (in the OP) about Future World being a let-down for the most part. I made my first visit to WDW last October, and as I had expected I absolutely loved the World Showcase and was lukewarm about Future World. Perhaps when MK is done with their Fantasyland overhaul...

    Characters at MVMCP

    It's the area to the left of It's A Small World, right before you exit out from Fantasyland and go into Liberty Square. There is an area that MK uses for MNSSPH and MVMCP photo ops. When you're there, you can't miss it! :)

    Disney Designer Dolls

    To be honest, the doll is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it on the secondary market. Since these dolls were marketed as limited edition (and the dolls are actually imprinted with the numbers to match their CoAs), the display dolls lack this feature and are of an unknown edition...

    If possible, a local trade would probably be easier for you, just in terms of not dealing with shipping or potential other fees (either for a sale or for a trade), plus you would be able to make sure that the trade is legit by viewing the merchandise before sealing the deal. Some suggestions to...

    eBay does allow bid retractions (under very stringent circumstances set by eBay) and second chance offers, but this does seem a bit odd, particularly since the seller has become so pushy and they only had one feedback rating... The seller should have just relisted the item again in a new auction...

    Official 2011 MNSSHP Party Planning Thread ..BOO to You and You..Happy Halloween!

    Yes, it was absolutely a perfect evening of fun! It was our first Disney parks ticketed event, too. It was well worth the cost of admission to us! The crowds only seemed to hover between the castle and the front gates, and I am sure that there were quite a few non-party-paying stragglers from...

    Official 2011 MNSSHP Party Planning Thread ..BOO to You and You..Happy Halloween!

    Ah! I was there on 10/06 meeting Maleficent at the exact same time (the 7:45pm show?) you were there! I was second in line to meet her. Luckily, some very nice people we met in line for the Prince & Princess couples were in the area, waiting for Dr. Facilier, and they directed us to the ramp...

    Thank goodness your parcel was safe. All's well that ends well, but that really does not seem very good on the part of UPS in terms of security. Are drivers even allowed to do that?

    Disney Designer Dolls

    Welcome to the club! :) To answer 2 of your questions, the scarves have been kind of odd on the website for a while. The Snow White scarf, for example was showing as available for many weeks since August 22nd, but practically no one seemed to be able to add it to their cart. An error message...

    Disney Designer Dolls

    Yeah, pretty close. :) The journals retail for $19.50 and the mugs retail for $10.50 for one or 2/$14. The mugs are great (I have 8 out of the 10, and I use my Snow White mug daily), but the eBay prices are generally outrageous. Occasionally, you may find a decent price for one on eBay. I...

    Congratulations, KateB! Getting that shipping confirmation is such a relief, isn't it? So you are one of the lucky less-than-4000 people to have a complete set? That is just wonderful!

    What percentage of adults are in costumes at MNSSHP?

    You will not look silly being in costume at a table service restaurant for the MNSSHP. For the 10/06 MNSSHP, I was in costume at the Liberty Tree Tavern, and even though my costume was not from the colonial American era, I felt fine. Some really good stand-out costumes at a nearby table...

    I never said that I was not new here, so your statement makes no sense. Did you take offense to me calling you a newbie? And if you do have another account, why hide behind a new one?

    Disney Designer Dolls

    Based on other collectibles, particularly dolls, on eBay, the trend is that immediately after the item sells out, the price shoots up really high, due to the hype and panic caused by the sold out status. Most products do decrease in value over time, but it depends on the item. For these...

    Disney Designer Dolls

    Having been here from before the Designer Cinderella doll's release (and having gone through the whole process like everyone else), I totally understand that people are frustrated with the way this whole product was released and handled, especially starting around the Mulan/Snow White doll...

    Disney Designer Dolls

    I live in California, too. With the designer dolls, for the first 5 dolls, they would typically ship about 2 days after I ordered them (and most of my orders were made minutes after the dolls became officially available). My order today was made only a few seconds before 9:08 am PDT, and it is...
