Disney Designer Dolls

[jandii]

you could most likely find it with the code as the product is in the database but the website pages themselves are probably currently being pushed out to the various content delivery servers.

i'd rather not say how I knew the code, it's not that difficult and if it works again next week, I'll be sure to post right away as well. i wouldn't want this knowledge getting into the wrong hands... it's currently giving us a leg up on the ebay people.

[GraceMonica]

This whole thing was a rush. I cant sleep at all!

 

[chrisl95111]

wow, the site was down for a good 5 or so minutes, ha ha, again thank you very much jandii as going to the disney store would have been impossible tomorrow morning due to work.

Well, I missed out, put her in cart, the site crashed for a few mins, came back up and when I did checkout she was gone. Cant believe it. It was gone in 15 mins.

That was absolutely CRAZY DH and I were on two separate computers and he got his order to go through and I never had any luck. I kept getting error after error. Definitely won't be trying to login next time. I'll just check out as a guest. I just hope we don't get the dreaded email that we actually won't be getting our doll. Fingers crossed for everyone!

This is getting ridiculous. I got up at 3:05 ET. Snow White didn't hit the website until 3:30ish. Took 20 minutes to place my order due to errors etc. Finally placed my order at 3:57am ET. Went back to bed for like an hour, got up, checked the website and Snow White was sold out. Really!? The sad thing is it's not the true Disney fans/collectors buying up the dolls. Ugh! I feel bad for those that may be getting up a little later only to find that Snow White is sold out already. Took what 30 minutes?

If it's this crazy for the LE 8000 and LE 6000 dolls, can't wait for the LE 4000. I wish Disney would do a bit better and limit to 1 per order to give everyone a little better chance. Oh, and good luck to those heading to stores this morning.

I'll be sure to be on the disboards the next few weeks for "insider" tips.

Says she's already sold out online!!

I'm in NJ...my father tried to order Snow White at 3:30 am EST, and although she was shown on the website, the server wouldn't respond to the request. He tried repeatedly and finally gave up. Tried again at 6am and she was sold out. This is disgusting. Disney should be ashamed.

So they get released in the stores also?!?!?!? I thought it was online only! I unfortunately had no luck this morning, but am hoping to try again next week. However, I have next Monday off and if I can go to the store and get one I might do that?!?!

Thanks!

Unfortunately, not all stores get them and the ones that do get a limited supply. Anywhere from 8-14 I have read so far. People have been lining up REALLY early to try and get them.

Let me know how it all works out for you...I have Cinderella (so easy to get in hindsight! before this madness!) and I definitely want Rapunzel and possibly Sleeping Beauty. I'd rather not go to the store if possible...so 3 am online it is.

Any idea what the timeline for the rest of the releases is?

Thank you Jandii so very much for posting item number, otherwise I couldn't find the doll on the website, now I have one on it's way :0) Will you have the item #'s for the next dolls?

 

[MotherofBelle&Will]

I have Ariel (my older daughter's favorite) and sooooo wanted Snow White (my younger daughter's favorite). I had no idea how crazy this was going to get. When I purchased Ariel, Cinderella was still available and I woke up to find Mulan still available so thought I could just purchase Snow white in the morning when she came out. I am sad.

I know some of you were asking jandii a few questions. Just thought I would go back to a quote I read from them last night. You might have not seen them because the thread has been updated with posts quite a bit since.

I was able to get Cinderella, Ariel and Belle so easily. Last week, Mulan was still available when I got to work at 8am. I wasn't sure if I wanted her or not, then decided about 2 hours later to get her and she was gone. For Snow White, my dad tried at 3:30 am and although she was showing on the page, he wasn't able to order her...kept getting an error. But other people apparently were able to get her at that same approximate time. So their website is not able to handle the volume and people are missing out. I tried at 5:50am when I got up for work and she was gone. Rapunzel is my daughter's favorite and I am dreading it when she comes out. I know I have very little chance of getting her

So I've been lurking around these boards for about 2 years now, but finally decided to join because I wanted to take part in this thread. When I first saw the dolls I had no interest in them but now I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Jasmine and Rapunzel :

I did want to comment though on how fast these dolls are being sold, because it seems my store may be the only one that isn't selling out instantly...or wasn't for the last 2 anyway. The last Mulan was sold from my store just yesterday and the same thing happened with Belle the week before. I talked with one of the employees and he even told me that they've been sending a bunch of their dolls to the US stores, I couldn't believe it! I thought for sure they would be selling fast here too. He said I should have no problem getting Rapunzel when she's released, but I'm still super paranoid, especially since my store is now displaying all the upcoming dolls which I can only imagine will get more people interested...

I'm thinking of heading to my store today after work to see if any Snow White's will be left. I'm not too interested in buying her, but I'd like to see if the popularity has increased in my area at all~ or maybe it just depends on the princess here...who knows

I just got back from the Disney Store.

MADNESS. I got there just around the time the store opened, and the line was already like 14 people deep. The couple at the very front of the line bought two each. Then the ebay shark bought his two. and the older couple got their two. By time I got to the register, they were sold out. But that's okay. My brother was with me and he got three Lion King vinylmations. So, I saved his spot in line.

I was talking with some of the ladies in line. They weren't happy at all. One of them told the ebay shark to wipe that grin off his face and she turned around and loudly announced to the other people in line "DO NOT BUY THESE DOLLS ON EBAY" It was amusing!

BUT my card was just charged for my snow white, so I'm assuming it wasn't canceled? I don't know.

I'm just waiting for them to say shipped with a tracking number to be totally at ease with all of this.

I like the moxy of that one lady! Unfortunately, I don't think that the "sharks" are really hurt by the outrage. In fact, they probably relish our frustration.

I agree that I will be a lot more at ease when the shipping confirmation e-mail comes in (which usually takes 1-2 business days), so let's all keep our fingers crossed!

It was incredible last night, the instant the Snow White doll became publicly visible on the website the servers really showed the strain of the sheer volume of people trying to put in their orders. For me, personally, things were fine until I got to the last page of the ordering process, where it kept trying to update the final tax and shipping charges area, based on my shipping address. That was maddening. Once that was done, every time I clicked on the button to submit the order, nothing happened the first few times. I was afraid I was submitting multiple orders, but I also was not getting a proper confirmation that my order was submitted. So after a few worrysome minutes, it appears to have gone through (one order only). This was at 12:42 am Pacific time. Am I worried? Yes, I am. Especially since there is a strong likelihood that some of the orders that were submitted last night will get cancelled by DS.com, due to their system allowing too many orders for this one item.
