Dd bought me mine in April for bday and the D&B one is really well made. I love the feel of it as well.

yes! I love how it is not slippery...there is some grip to it. I love this case!

I really love this one!!! and may have to find one for my phone!!!

You can order them on the Disney store on line but also I got mine in one of the stores on Main Street.

Does anyone know if there's a way to plug an Andriod phone into the iHome alarm clocks? Do they have an audio in plug?

Awesome! We got our ME tags a couple of days ago too, but we don't get the cool luggage tags now that we have APs and book room only. It's a bummer because I'd like to have those!

They no longer take your picture outside with the 'Ohana sign......now they have your own "personal experience" with Stitch!!!

What did they do for that? Do they take your picture with Stitch?

The luggage tags have become kind of an obsession with my kids - they have each year's tags attached to their school backpacks. I think they're more excited that those came than actually realizing that the Mickey mail means our trip is getting closer!

Our girls love to save their luggage tags too - they keep their "collection" on their carry-on bags (they each have a rolly backpack that they use just for travel)

How exciting . I love those luggage tags!!! We usually book a package, but we are doing room only this December, so no luggage tags for me this time .

Very excited to get my very first luggage tags! I usually book room only, but wanted a package this time because I just wasn't sure what was going on with the MagicBands. Still not sure, but glad I booked the package as those tags are really cute!

May I ask why?

Why they are testing it? Waitress said that that Management thought it would be a better experience for all...in other words, they will probably sell more pictures of a family with Stitch in it, than out front with the restaurant sign. Personally, I liked out front.

Why I don't like it? Because it took forever for Stitch to come around...we were done eating and had to wait an additional 45 minutes for Stitch. And then what made the wait longer were people who didn't want to wait who would go and stand by the table where Stitch was so they could get their picture taken to leave. UGH!!!

I think it would be so much better to have Stitch in the picture!!!

So are they taking the pictures after the meal now?

Why can't they do like Tusker and have him out near the sign before you eat?

No, they are taking them DURING the meal!!! Which isn't bad..but there is no set pattern to Stitch he just goes from one area to another..... But then again it was only Day 5 of the new "test" experience, so if they keep it then maybe they can iron out the details.
I love Stitch and would love to have him in my picture, but waiting 2 1/2 hours for him was a bit much!!!!

That would be great!!! Much less confusing!!!

Yeah, I was curious why you didn't like it. I assumed the photo was still taken out front, just that Stitch was there now. That would be a hassle to wait for him to come to your table for a photo.
