Help.....I can't find them ANYWHERE!! Of course except MSMS and from what I have read I don't think they will be in business anymore, also they sold them for 22.00 a piece!! I need three!! I have seen them on other sites for more than half that, but sold out. Does anyone know where I can get these. Alot of people said the xmas store at DTD but again it seems they don't have them. I need to get them personalized because my kids have unusual names! (not in italy though!) thanks

We bought ours at the Christmas shop at DTD. My daughter's name is JILLIAN and we had to have her badge personalized. I found my son's name at one of the Disney Outlets (Premium Outlets, I think). I read a post recently that said that they were sold out at the DTD Christmas shop, but maybe that was just during the busy holiday. I would check there once you arrive at Disney.

bought mine at the christmas store in dtd, too, but i remember somethig about how they are also for sale somewhere in MGM.

can they be ordered from WDW's Mail Order Dept. (407) 363–6200 (sorry but i'm not 100% sure this is still a valid number)

[glencoe]

thanks dj2, it was a valid number however the very unhelpful woman said I have to buy them in person at DTD or MGM which, from what I have been reading are out of them!! When I asked her if they had them, all she said again was "you have to purchase them in person". She could not/would not tell me if they had anymore or would even try to ask someone if they had them!! Very undisney!!

[dandelion garden]

[glencoe]

Too bad none of my kids are named Hannah!! LOL I am still looking and have found NOTHING! I hope they have them there, however I am not "scheduled to go to DTD until the 4th day were there and I am skipping MGM this time. Anyone else find them?

did you notice the fine print of the ebay item said that disney's not selling these anymore? do you think that seller knows what s/he's talking about??

We got our at the hat shop on main street of MGM. I think they were $6. The shop is on the right about half way down. This shop personalizes all kind of stuff. The have the mickey ears that the mouseketeers wear.

We just returned from a weeklong trip to WDW yesterday and I noted to DW on Monday as we strolled through AK that I hadn't seen the Guest of Honour badges anywhere -- and we were in what seemed like every store throughout the parks and DTD.

Her suggestion was one that I think was mentioned here a while ago, "Perhaps they were too much like the CM name tags and some people were getting confused."

I did see, however, various name pins at the World of Disney store at DTD. I wonder if they have replaced the GOH badges with these pins.

 

[marciemi]

We were watching our old videos of our family at WDW in 1997 in prep for this trip and we had taped them making our GOH badges at Epcot! It was pretty neat since we still have them. Two of them have stars on them from their Disney cruise in 2000 (not sure what the stars meant). Unfortunately, our discovery over a few visits was that if you get suntan lotion on them, it smears the mickey and the white border, so one of my sons' is pretty bad and DH's is smeared some. I was hoping to get replacements, but I guess I should just be grateful that we still have ours it sounds like!

 

[Grand Canyon]

We bought one (GOH badge) for a friend on our last visit. June 2004

 

[glencoe]

Well it seems from my extensive search that they had discontinued the red ones and they might (not sure if this is true or not) be waiting for the Celebration in May to put new ones out w/ that theme? I thought they would be so cute for the kids, oh well, I tried!!
4 weeks and 2 days to go.....Poly here we come!

 

[jgmklmhem]

I have a Hannah....so I might bid...but we will be going to DLR...anyone think we will get remarks since the one on EBAY is a WDW one??

 

[dj2]

actually, there's a lot to be said for KIDS not wearing name tags. mr. stranger-danger might be at wdw, too.

 

[4kidsnus]

I asked at both the 5 & 10 in MGM and at guest services in MK - both told me that they no longer sold them ... but since they had had a high number of requests, they might bring them back ???

Let's hope!

 

[mommy2mrb]

I found some on this website mouseshoppe.com......they are red with mickey but they say Disneyland USA....so if your not picky about them saying Disneyland instead of world, look them up under Disney Souvenirs.

Good luck!

 

[sandiegosusie]

I ordered 2 badges in November from www.laughingplace.com. They are the Princess badges with my daughters names on them...very cute! Hope this helps!
