Help! Anyone have a source for Disney character ceramic beads?

[kath1210]

We are having a big family reunion (19 people) at WDW and I want to make, or have made, Disney-ish lanyards for everyone.

We are going to use crystal beads, but I wanted to get some ceramic Disney character beads to decorate the lanyards. I have searched the internet and cannot find anything.

I know Disney sells these types of beads in its on-site stores. Is there any way I can order these from Disney or get them elsewhere?

Our trip is in October, so I have a little time.

Thanks!

Not that this is any great help, but I found cute wooden and plastic "Mickey" shaped beads at the Premiere Outlet store in Lake Buena Vista in June. They were in a kit of child's art sets, and were marked down to $3.99 a set. It might be worth calling to see if they have any of these left. If I had enough here, I'd send mine to you, but I only have a few beads left. They might also have these art sets at the Belz Outlet store. I think these sets were called Castle Creations. They come in a green and orange plastic box.

Hope that helps a little!

I'm heading to Disney Sept 8-16th. I could pick some up for you. Would that help?

Wow! Thank you all for the quick and helpful replies! The people on these boards are the best!

Ohiominnie - Thanks very much for the offer, but I don't think I could finish 19 lanyards in time if I got the beads late in September. I should have saod that we are actually leaving for WDW on September 29, and checking in on October 2.

Courtney - That sounds like a great plan! I will e-mail you!

I know you already have somebody to get beads for you. I found a site that has some for sale, I know they will be cheaper from the person on this board but I thought you might like to see the pictures anyways. Go to Disney Beads so you can see some of the designs so you get an idea of what you might like. I know they have more beads than what is shown on this site.

Oh my! They're sooooo cute! But you're right, that site's prices are always high!

I don't need any beads. I don't need any beads. I don't need any beads. (Maybe if I keep telling myself that....)
