Well, I broke down and went over to the dark side. Yup, I purchased a Snow White on e-bay Saturday.

Hopefully, with the express FedEx shipping it'll be here by Friday for my Wife's B-day.
Also, I have decided that I am not even going to bother going to a Dis Store on Monday 10/17 and I will just be trying my luck online. Dis Store should be announcing the released time for 10/18 sometime this week.
I was thinking of doing both the Store and Online but changed my mind. Called the Disnet Store that I like to go to as that one was the one I was going to go to on 10/17. It's 90 mins away. Had a nice conversation with the Mgr at that store. She was very sweet. Plain and simple, here was the deal for that store.
1. She had no idea how many of each they were getting. Based on prior #'s they it be anywhere from 1 - 12. But she said at most 10 and that's pushing it. They only got 4 Mulans and maybe 6 Snow White.
2. The mall security will only start letting people line up at one mall entrance at 6am. If you are there and try to line up before 6am, you will be asked to leave. If you do not leave, the police will be called.
3. They will be handing out cards at that one mall entrance prior to the doors opening at 8am. They will be handing out cards for how many dolls they have. That's it.
4. She reinforced what has been discussed many times here on the Dis, the communication between online and stores is non exsistant. Period.
The MGR was very nice and up front. She said the demand is there and wished me luck, but they have no idea how many they would get and the possibility to get the dolls was slim.
