Not sure where to post this,
so move if necessary...
I found myself in Manhattan yesterday, and made my first trip to "World of Disney" on 5th Ave. I live in NY, so don't ask me why this was my first trip there. Maybe I'm still going thru withdrawl since I've been home from AKL for a whole week already.
Anyway - 3 floors of Disney in the middle of the Big Apple - gotta love it. I was surprised to see they have a lot of the theme park souvenirs and things that I bought in Florida and stuffed in my suitcase to give to DS for his b-day and Christmas. You could also meet/greet/photo with characters there (Cinderella and Snow White yesterday, but apparently they rotate them). I also saw an entire section dedicated to Mickey/NYC merchandise - Statue of Liberty/Yellow Taxi/Times Square stuff that was really cute. Also lots of pins that were NYC related and marked as Limited Editions. (Apparently now that we're HOME, DH is becoming interested in pins. Go figure.)
My question is - is this the only place to find the NYC pins/stuff? Does that make it more valueable/collectible/interesting to collectors?
