Grandma bought DS(3) the Disneyland Railroad model train for the holidays. Needless to say, he thought it was "awesome!", and was his favorite gift. $75 later...it worked for a couple of hours the first day (complete with real smoke coming out of the funnel...how cool is that?!), and then did not work at all on Day 2. Seriously. And even better is that The Disney Store (online) no longer has the item, so they can only give us a refund and not an exchange. My son is crushed.
When we stayed at GCH in September, they had the train in the gift shop. I know they also had it somewhere on Main St, as I saw a little boy holding one of the giant train boxes. He appeared to have a really good grip on it, or I might have tried to swipe it from him
Anyway, if and DIS-ers happen to see this item when strolling through the parks in the near future, could you please post and let me know? It might be worth a trip just to go get another one. Here's what it looks like:
