Just an FYI about the M. Mouse dishes that are for sale on the Disneyoutlet-dot-com website. I received several sets of these dishes in multiple colors from DM for Christmas
. I LOVE them because of how they look, but they are very impractical for daily use. They chip easily, the enamel has gotten a crackle look to it which, while you can't feel the crackle, water does look like it seeps through. They say on the underside that they are dishwasher and microwave safe, but they become VERY hot when microwaved and a hot pad is needed. The salt shaker has to have some of the holes blocked off too because the salt just POURS out. DH HATES the cereal bowls because the MM figure is raised in the bottom of the bowl and it is hard to get the last of his nightly ice-cream and chocolate syrup out of the bottom 
.
Like I said, I do love the looks of these dishes and I do use them on a daily basis. I figure I'll use them until they are all junk...which will probably be in time for the upcoming Christmas season
BUT, that is only a one year shelf life...which for dishes is pretty short.
I also received the enamel picnic salad plates. They are cute, but they are strictly hand wash only and metal so they cannot be microwaved.
And, again, I received the Olive Mickey Mouse (salad size) plates are very nice. They are not the same as the M. Mouse dishes and are a much better quality.
Just wanted everyone to know my experience if considering a purchase due to the low outlet prices!
