Are all of you who are planning on going to the disney store on the 17th hoping to get all 5 on the spot? I'm only buying Rapunzel, so I'm just curious. Haha seems a bit crazy to wait for so long just for one of them, but I want to anyway.

Yes, I plan on getting all 5. I have the first five and I decided the first day I saw them, I wanted the entire set.

We shall see.

I haven't talked to my DS management. I'm a little scared, but I'm going to try. I figure, i should know right when I get to the mall if it's going to fly or not. I'm only staying if I think I have a good chance at getting some dolls.

Hi. This is my first post on these forums although I've been reading the posts since they announced the new rules. Since DS announced the dolls in August the only ones in I have wanted are Aurora and Rapunzel but now with these new guidelines I think it might be darn hard to get them. When I called my local Disney Store today the cast members seem to have wiped their hands clean of the whole affair. All they would tell me is that they open the doors at 10 oclock and that they basically can care less what anyone does before that. I guess this means that there will be no organized line outside the mall when it is closed and no organized line in front of the store before it opens. I was hoping they'd have a little more organization for the event but I guess they really just don't care. Has anyone else talked to their store about how it is handling the 17th? Anyway I guess I'll contact my mall and see what they say about being their before it opens and what doors open first because I still at least want to try. I mean, after 2 months of anticipation I might as well give it a go!

Today, I finally bought two shelves for my three dolls, and I'm so happy they have a home on my wall now! I'll post pictures later. Not now though because I don't feel like getting up.

Hi there,
I'm not sure if I posted this yet, but my strategy has been to email the ebay sellers who have no bids yet and are asking too much. I offer them $100 plus shipping Paypalled, if their auction ends with no bidders. I ask them to send me a "second chance" offer and then I take it. This is low-balling them, but many are happy not to have to relist it and pay more fees. $100 is still making a profit for them.
Good luck! -Michele

Contacted my closest store in Memphis, TN today (which is still 4 hours away) and asked the CM their game plan for Monday. He said that they would allow people to line up in front of the store at 7 am and begin distributing the cards at 9 am. I asked if there was going to be mall security maintaining the line that may start at the mall entrance and he said that he didn't know that no one had asked that. Well I'll probably call again and ask another CM just to make sure I get the same story. I just want to be very prepared since I've booked a hotel room and everything for the night before. I know I'm crazy

I called the Disney store and they only said they will be handing cards out at 9 am. I asked what will the mall do and about security and they said they had no idea what the mall wanted to do . I call the mall and they had not idea this was going on at all and did not know what to expect. She took notes and said she will notify mall administrators and security. So I guess I will call later this week. It is just a little sad that the Disney store did not bother to take extra precautions.

I broke down and bought the Snow White mirror compact from ebay. DKFJSKD I got it for $25.99 including shipping. >.< At least shipping was free. I would have never bought it, but Snow white has become my favorite Designer doll out of the ones I have. SO I just wanted her to have the compact. Oy.

 

[Chachi]

I ordered the Snow White Doll online strictly as a bartering chip because I really want Pocahontas and Mulan. I figured there would be someone out there willing to do a trade.
any ideas on the best way of going about this if someone is interested.
how can I do a secure trade without getting screwed over?

I figured in person would be best but not sure about the demand here in Denver.
However I will be visiting Disneyland the week of Halloween. YAY!

I am still waiting for the announcement regarding the time they will go on sale online on 10/18. I hope they announce it soon.

Ohhhh, so THIS is what happened to all the designer dolls at my local store. I thought the 10 weeks had gone by fast!

These dolls are beautiful, but I'm really grateful that they're not my thing. Ariel was the nicest, and she sold out in an hour at my store. Weird, because Cinderella lasted all week and a little into the next.

I'm not sure if this tactic will be better or worse. It was exciting to see a new doll for sale every week. Maybe just limiting the sale to one per guest would've been better from the get go.

Good luck to everyone next week! At first when I was backtracking through this thread, I thought they were releasing 5 more princesses. That would've been exciting

Have you gotten your situation straightened out yet.

After getting a response from Canada Post saying it's basically lost and that it's the "sender's" responsibility to file I claim with Canada Post I escalated my dispute to a PayPal claim. My cc co. has responded to my request for a refund So I'm getting my money back. I'm sure I will never see that doll.

Just found this on the Disney Store Blog page:

On Tuesday morning, October 18, the remaining 5 Disney Princess Designer Dolls will all be available for purchase at DisneyStore.com. DisneyStore.com will close and be unavailable to Guests starting at 11:15 AM Eastern Time/8:15 AM Pacific Time while we load the product to our website. All Guests on our site at this time will receive a Site Outage message, and their shopping will be interrupted. At 12 noon Eastern Time/9:00 AM Pacific Time or shortly thereafter, the site will reopen, and all 5 of the remaining dolls will be available for purchase at that time. Guests may purchase all 5 dolls but will be limited to just one of each doll. All purchases must be made online as there will be no phone orders accepted.

Please note: Information above only applies to Guests in U.S. & Canada

I wonder what this will mean for everyone that has to work that day? If I can't get the 2 dolls I want in store Monday morning, may have to take an hour off to order these at home. Don't know if I want to tie up my work computer trying.

Good luck to everyone next Monday and Tuesday. Pixie Dust to all of us!

Ah, how wacky the Disney Store is! Oh well, it's their website and their product, so it's their game!

I know it is already posted but here is the direct link to the blog for the offical announcement http://blog.disneystore.com/blog/20...announces-designer-doll-release-schedule.html

If the store fails at least I know the online times. I hope everyone gets the dolls they want. I am trying to stay postive.

You are not crazy at all. Unless we are all crazy. Hope you get the dolls you want. Which ones are you wanting?

I'm hoping to get the remaining 5 to complete my collection. I really regret not purchasing them all at the expo but I underestimated the insanity they would bring. Keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone
