Disney Designer Dolls

[LovinmyDisneylife]

Well my 4 hour drive to Memphis and staying overnight was definitely worth it. Got all 5 dolls. It was exhausting but totally worth it.

Congrats on those who were able to get all the dolls, very jealous. Sad for those that didn't get what they wanted. I shall try online tomorrow, but I reckon it's going to be an Ebay job to get them all. I shall wait a week or so, to let the prices steady themselves.

Just thought of this. I'm away from home so I can't double check with the dolls I have. But on the back of the dolls (cardboard sleeve) there's the Sku/ID #.

Do those match the ID's in the online store? That's how we were able to purchase the Snow White quickly online, for those who were up and posting on the forum a helpful person posted the ID number. We just typed in the ID number in the search of the DisneyStore.com and it took us to the page with the doll. Just tried searching the store with Snow White's ID, the feature still works.

So for those with the Dolls actually in hand (able to get them today), can you PM (so lurkers can't get the numbers) the numbers to the people who want a certain doll? That is, if the numbers match.

Such as glenpreece wants Pocahontas and berrybread wants Rapunzel.
I'd like Jasmine if possible.

One issue i have is that the people who got the dolls today to sell on eBay, will try again tomorrow to buy more dolls online to sell on eBay again...

That's a good idea. If anyone needs Tiana or Rapunzel numbers let me know.

I'll definitely take ID numbers just in case.

I think the whole point of Disney going down for 45 minutes before the sale is so they can add everything into the site and having it all up and working at noon. At least, I HOPE that is what happens. Unfortunately one little glitch is all is takes for things to go wrong.

I'm also a little nervous, it sounds like they gave a lot of dolls out of the stores today, more than they were giving previously. So there may be even less available online.

edit: I'm afraid to look on ebay right now. Has anyone checked? If I do have to get dolls that way, I'm definitely waiting until after Christmas.

I'd love to get Rapunzel's number, and Jasmine's too if anyone has it.

At the moment, the "Disney Princess Designer Collection" section on the online store is barren. Nothing there, but the items that used to be there is still on the website. You just need to use the search to find them.

 

[JenGSLP]

I was just curious if anyone went to a New Jersey mall today to try to get dolls, and what was the experience like? I will be trying on-line tomorrow. I couldn't get to my local mall today...I had to get my daughter on the bus at 7:45 and then get to work myself. I've only ordered on line so far (Cinderella, Belle and Ariel...was unable to get Mulan or Snow White). I'm hoping to be able to get Rapunzel, at the very least!

that's why they are shutting down the website for 45 min so that item #'s won't work ahead of the regular search feature - everything will go live at once when it comes back up at 12:00 Est so all forms of searches will work equally whether you type in the item # or the doll name won't make a difference

I see... Well back to square one then.

I am back from my trip to the mall. I will report on it a little later. I have a major headache since I've been up since 4:45 and did A LOT of running around.

BUT I did get the two I wanted and my friends were able to get the two they wanted, and my brother got one for his DGF, so it was a successful trip for me.

 

[LM2]

I saw a post from NJ. I was 12 in line at Willowbrook in Wayne, NJ. I only got Jasmine and Rapunzel. My mom got Jasmine and we will trade for any one of the three Tiana, Aurora or Poca for our extra Jasmine. When they came out of the store, the had only 7 complete sets. So you know 3 went to employees. My mom got the last Jasmine I got the last Rapunzel.

I'm curious too. I was up at 4 am because my dog had an accident. I'm kind of kicking myself for not driving down to the Woodbridge store and getting in line. But if it turns out people were there all night then I won't be as upset. I just want rapunzel so I will try online tomorrow.

 

[magi1104]

so here I am at the Disney store in Hawaii... the first 3 or 4 people are only buying them to resell. that angers me.

 

[Colormyworld]

Oh my gosh...this is totally nuts. I really hope that next time they do an event like this, Disney does a better job estimating the popularity/best edition size.

Is anyone's store still getting mugs in/still have mugs? Mine hasn't had any mugs in since the beginning of September and I've been going there pretty frequently. I still need 4 to complete my set

If anyone is still sending out PMs with the SKU, I'd really appreciate any you have (even if it won't necessarily work, I'd rather be safe than sorry!)

 

[KateB]

Hey! Looking for sku's for Pocahantas, Tianna, & Aurora... pm PLEASE! They might not work but at least it's worth a shot.

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW EVERYONE!

 

[courtneyljohnston]

My fiance and I walked in the mall at 6:30am. They were handing out the last voucher We didnt get any!! Im so upset!! If anybody has any SKU they are willing to give I would be so greatful!

Here's the whole story!

I woke up at 4:45 and made a PB&J. I packed it in my lunch bag with some string cheese, a monster energy drink, and a water bottle.

My friend who was coming with my brother and I arrived a little after 5:15 (we were shooting for 5, but she got lost!) As soon as she got there, we hopped in the car and made our way towards the mall. About 20 minutes later we were there!

We sat in the car and waited. And we waited. AND WE WAITED. Around 6 a couple got out of their vehicle and walked up to the security guard sitting in his patrol car. So we quickly jumped out and followed. The man told us he knew NOTHING about the release and we needed to stay in our cars until 7.

More people started showing up. There were about 15 people standing around the parking lot ready to swarm the doors. The security guard pulled up to the group of us and told us that he got word that they will be only letting the people there for the dolls in from door one, which was on the other side of the mall. So we all ran to our cars and with to the other entrance.

My mall has three entrances....we ALL went to the wrong one! So the same security guard came driving up and said "I told you its at entrance one!" so we all high tale it to our cars and speed over to the entrance (my brother pulled in front of someone else and they almost didnt stop....ugh!)

So my brother pulled up to the entrance and we hopped out while he parked the car! We were numbers 14, 15, 16, and 17 in line. By that point I was FREAKING out. I knew my DS was NOT getting many in! So we're all there in line and the head of security comes out. He is trying to keep the line calm, which we were for the most part. He said we would ALL get accommodated (that was a real joke) I kept asking him so many questions and he didn't have the slightest of clue to any of them (such as how many dolls there were)

He told us that this entrance would be the ONLY entrance that you could line up for the dolls, and to make sure of it...if anyone got in any other way, they would be removed. They kept good on their word. We waited around until 7:05ish and we all walked in a single file line to the store. I was absolutely amaze of how well we all did. It was like we were back in elementary school.

We got to the Disney store and they had those divider things in place, so no one could line jump.

We waited. And waited. And waited! Finally around 9AM (I am only assuming it was that early still, this whole day has been a blur!) The manager CM and another CM came out with the tickets. She announced how many there were...26 Jasmine, 22? Rapunzel, 15 Tianas, 13 Pocahontas, and 13 Auroras. (I could be off with some of them, BUT I'm just glad that I was guaranteed Jasmine and Rapunzel so by this point I didnt care about the rest!) They slowly passed out those CUTE CUTE CUTE cards! (I wish we were able to keep them!) And I had Rapunzel, Jasmine, Tiana, and Pocahontas in my hand. I didn't know how that happened, but I guess I just wanted to ensure my friends behind me got them!

I was originally going to get Tiana for myself, but I got the last one, so I gave the card to my friend. (I'm just that nice of a person!)

Once all the cards were handed out, they announced that there were NO MORE. Ladies were coming up and accusing some of us to be ebayers. One lady screamed out "I will give someone two hundred dollars cash for Rapunzel so I can buy it for my 8 year old daughter!" My friend was going to buy Rapunzel for her step daughter but decided that $200 was a much sweeter deal since she didn't think that her SD would appreciate it. So the lady gave her $200 cash for JUST THE CARD. (The lady ended up paying $260 because she didn't offer to buy it from her after she purchased it, she bought the card from her)

After I got my two dolls, I came up with a plan to trick my little sister (She's 16!). When we were there at the store last week, she expressed that she wanted the Aladdin and Jasmine barbie dolls! So I bought those as well and told her I wasn't able to get the designer doll for her (Although I did!) And I'm going to give her the Barbie dolls when she gets home from school, and then I'll pull out the Jasmine doll later! I'm hoping to record her reaction. Its going to be a hoot!

So my trip was very much a success. I got Rapunzel and Jasmine. My brother got Rapunzel (for his girlfriend!). My friend Kristen got Tiana and Jasmine. And my other friend Michele got Pocahontas and a Aurora with a missing name plate (she didn't really care about the name plate, she just wanted the doll!)

The head of Security did an AMAZING job. The CM were wonderful, calm, and friendly. So it was SO WORTH IT to wake up that early to do that out of love for my sisters!

And if you're wondering, ONE person snuck in another door and was standing in line for the dolls before the head of security brought the line in. So before we could walk in, we had to wait for them to escort him out. I'm so happy how things ended up. I had been such a worry wart for the past week! And it's all payed off and worked out for the better for me!

I wish the best of luck to whomever is buying tomorrow!

We got 2 sets we are half way there. we got to the mall around 3:45am (the mall was supposed to open at 5 but the open the doors earlier than that). We first went to the door security had told me it was going to open first and then after a while I saw there was a another line in a door down the road . So I walked there and left DH in the door we were at. Well after talking to some of the girls they thought that was the door it will be open first. I tried to text my DH to come but he did not got any of the text. When I finally call him he tells me he is inside already. Well I pass the info and everyone starts running to the other door and then security come and open the door everyone was at. So everyone runs back and runs into the mall. DH happen to be first in line. BY that time everyone got in line there was about 14 people already (4:15ish). We lined up and later a few minutes later the security guard came to guard the line. There was one guy that while everyone stood in line he keep writing in a notebook but never was part of the line. So DH asked him if he was getting the dolls he said yes and everyone was confused and told him to get in line. He did not listen and thought for some reason he deserved different treatment. Well when the manager came out and people in line started to complain about the guy he thought he was going to be allowed to be first . That did not happen and he had to ask everyone in line if he mind if he goes first, of course no one liked that (he look like and ebay shark anyway ). Then the manager said they had 10 Auroras, 22 Rapunzels, 20 Pocahontas, 12 Tianas and 18 Jazmins I think those were the numbers. So Dh and I were able to get all of them . It seems the stores got a lot more so that means there will be fewer sets online. Also the manager said they were sold out of all the merchandise and no more of the product was coming in. They only got the dolls and nothing else (no mugs, etc). For those asking for the sku number it is not going to help tomorrow because the website will be shut down so no matter what everyone will see the dolls at the same time.

Good Luck to those trying still.
