Haunted Mansion Ghost Post Subscription!

[ChadInOKC]

Very interesting. I got no email about this. Bummed. Probably would have been suckered in too. lol

My guess is this is Disney testing the waters for a subscription box service, like Loot Crate and the many others like it. It wouldn't surprise me to see them expand the offer and then offer either limited subscriptions for new themes or a more long-term subscription for general Disney merchandise.

I think they have started a subscription for Tsum Tsums too. I think these sorts of things, especially for collectibles, will be very popular. I am just glad that they don't have a limited edition t-shirt subscription. I would definitely go bankrupt with that buying 3 of them: one for each of us, me, DH, and DS

I am looking forward to seeing what it is.

Tsum Tsums kinda weird me out. They're kinda fascinating, but definitely odd.

I must be getting old, because I don't understand why people want things that look like their favorite character turned into a loaf of bread.

I always think they look like sausages. We have bought some, particularly the Star Wars ones, but I like the Hallmark Itty Bitties better. They are just smaller, cuter versions of the characters.

They actually already do some monthly subscription boxes in the Disney Store website.

I got my shopping notice yesterday. No estimated delivery date, but I'm excited. Anyone else get theirs?

Mine is in Compton, CA, since about 8 pm on 3/31. I live in nj..I have a feeling this will take awhile.:\

I just checked mine and our boxes are hanging out in Compton together.

They're having a party with mine.

Mine just..."got outa Compton" at 11 pm. Why is waiting so hard?

I do not have any delivery estimates yet.

I also tangled with their support for the app. I messaged them right after I ordered, to confirm it would be downloadable on a iPad Air 2, and they said yes but the experience would not be optimal, because it would not fit in a certain part of the experience...and well, guess what...they were wrong. You need to have cell data on your iPad to make this work. So you need to have a data connected iPad.

The app requires a GPS chip which is not exactly how the iPad Air gets it's GPS info...but here is another question...why does the app need to know exactly where I am? There are rumors that the game is only playable inside of Disneyland...considering I live in NJ...this is not part of my typical commute.

I am hoping maybe it is a bonus features work in the haunted mansion...but even that would make me a bit sad, because I paid $200 for a full experience.

My hubby's iPhone could be used, but it is his phone, and he can barely fit it on his phone...it's huge!

Trying not to be negative and failing badly.

I hope it's not the case that you need to be in the park to really enjoy this. It would be misleading marketing, to put it mildly. I'll be in WDW in a few weeks, so if there is a park feature, I can test it out. But to me, this was really billed as a "can't go to the park? Have a bit of the park at home!" sort of thing.

Here's an unboxing video I found on Reddit. As I suspected, a lot of paper stuff with a couple of tchotchkes.

If it's only useable at Disneyland then I'm extra glad I didn't buy in. For $200 I would expect it to work at WDW too.

I guess I feel like this set is more worth $100 than $200.

That s just one of three...so who knows what more "stuff" the othe 2 boxes will have. I just have to wait for mine now.

From what I read...Disneyland only in CA.

Cute! Thanks @Grand Admiral for sharing the video. The interactive phone thing is kinda cool,

 

[White Rose]

I have asked on the ghost post dead letter office message area and received a response that only a small portion of the adventure is done in person at Disneyland's haunted mansion...so I am okay with that...it would have been cool if there was a way to do the extra bit at a Disney store or Disneyland/world, but if it really is just a small extra piece...then...fine. I am okay with that.

Mine is still not delivered, and got to the local post office today...should be here tomorrow! Yay! The wait is nearly over!

 

[geminierin]

It's here everyone...in the ghost flesh! Waiting to formally unbox but I'll post pics later if someone doesn't beat me to it!

We are foolish mortals too. Ours arrived this morning.

Saw that my box was delivered this afternoon!
