DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[kimisabella]

Morning all, just got back from a morning out. The girls slept over my parents house last night so I decided that Vinny and I should go to Toys R US to see if we could get any Zhu Zhu pets.

We got there at 8am, and we were the 2nd people on line. Doors opened at 9and the manager told everyone there was a limit of 2 pieces per person. We ran in and got our items and got out within 10 minutes!

What really bothered me is that there were people on line soley there to buy these toys to re-sell in their stores, ebay, ect.. They openly talked about it and discussed how they re-sell the hamsters for $30/each. I'm glad they put a limit on how many you can buy otherwise these people would have bought everything.

Now we are off to the annual Halloween costume sale in the neighborhood. One of the people in the neighborhood owns some kind of costume company and has a huge sale every year - all costume $5/each and the money goes to charity. The costumes are really beautiful, some are even whole costumes sets from the Disney Store. Last year I got Vinny a Captain Jack costume that had the $80 Disney Store price tag on it.

Thought I was ambitious trying to carve a Lady and the Tramp pumpkin. This house up the block from me in the paper this morning has 47 Disney pumpkins on display. I'll be paying them a visit today. http://www.sentinelandenterprise.com/local/ci_13633944?source=rss

Morning everyone!

Went out to the Melting Pot last night for dinner. Celebrating our 13th anniversary. YUM! Had tooooo many glasses of Pinot and was drunk texting Brandie for a bit.

We went to melting pot with two other couples and ate and drank a phenomenal amount. Needless to say, we were not a quiet table. When the bill comes, one of the women we are with looks at it and exclaims loudly to the couple having a romantic dinner next to us "you know how much this place costs!" They just smile politely. She persists practically screams that our bill was over $500 just wanting someone to agree that was a lot of money. At this point we just grabbed her and ran. Her husband sent them champagne to apologize for having to put up with us.

Did everyone know that Don has cake this morning?

I did make pancakes! Working on the chocolate cake in an hour to two.

Darn, that means I don't get to find them for you

Those ebay people are sad, but you can't blame them. Its the people that buy from them and create the false price increase that are to blame. Parents that are willing to pay 3 times the price for their kids to get a toy. I'm terrible at xmas, I buy my kids way too many presents, but I refuse to go on ebay and get them the toy of the year. If it is something they want I let them know they can ask for it but they might have to wait until after xmas. I've yet to resort to buying it on ebay, mostly out of spite for people selling them.

Morning everyone!

Went out to the Melting Pot last night for dinner. Celebrating our 13th anniversary. YUM! Had tooooo many glasses of Pinot and was drunk texting Brandie for a bit. Then went to watch Couples Retreat. Save your money and wait for it. Not as funny as you think.

I mentioned the purse to DH yesterday. Then, in the car last night he told me he called the Disney merchandise line and ordered it for me! It's on backorder, and sold out in the stores. The cast member said they are only sold in 4 stores on property (WOD, Tren-D, Grand Floridian, and Hollywood Studios). They anticipate more to come, but wanted to give you the heads up.

Congrats on the anniversary and the gift to come!

Go back and read those text messages...it was pretty entertaining and creative on your spelling...

We asked to be moved from out first table last night. We sat in front of a large group. You could tell they were going to get rowdy.

OK Boys and Girls, I'm off to the Apple store to upgrade my iPhone. Wish me luck!

I stopped by Best Buy yesterday to see their offerings, but it was a mad house there. So much for a bad economy.

I can't seem to find anything on the measurements of these bags other than small, medium and large. Anyone have that info?

Congrats, Jen & Chris on your anniversary!

YAY!! I know of some girls who will be pretty excited to see them!!

 

[DVCsince02]

Check the Dooney website for the bag measurements. I have the Med. Cindy tote in a different pattern. It's pretty big.

That's awesome! I'm using the Disney stencil kit to carve one tomorrow. I am not sure what one I'll do just yet. I have the Pixar stencils and regular Disney ones.

We have a few Melting Pots here in NJ, but I've never gone to one. I've always wondered if it'd fill Sean up for the price. Thoughts?

Congrats on the purse. I'm going to look for it myself. I don't want to buy it until I see it in person and know for sure. I'll look in a few weeks. I wonder if I should call and see if a store could put one on hold?

Good luck, Mike! I love my 3G!

I think it will. If you run out of dippers and still have cheese, broth/oil, or chocolate in your pot, you can ask for more dippers!! And if you do order all 3 courses, it can be A LOT of food!!

I would definitely give it a try!!

Not only do we fill up, but we are bursting at the seams from eating there. Plenty of food. Cheese course, salad, entree and the best part.... chocolate.

The purse is sold out. None of the 4 stores have them in stock. They may be back in stock soon, but from what the cast member told Chris on the phone, they only bought a few hundred and they sold out in a few days. They are ordering more. You can take your chances and hope they are there when you go, or order via the merchandise number. They won't charge your card until it ships.

oh my, only two courses? What happened to desert? I can't resist the melted chocolate?

Seriously, I'm a clean plate kid and I leave stuffed.
