I Absolutely Must Have This

[jcb]

Tom Bell put up a blog post with photos from Today's DCA Grand Reopening.

I am hoping one of the stores will sell miniatures of the new Walt statue.

I get Toigo-esque goose bumps just looking at it. While the original is too big for my office I would love to add a replica to my collection.

Holy beans, that is really cool! Thanks for posting!

Isn't it awesome? I love it. I hadn't thought about the possibility of a miniature statue version. I hope Disney thought of it.

I'm sure I saw them in stores the other day. $140ish?

If I can get near the stores, I'll check later.

Nice. Thanks Tom.

Nice. Thanks Tom.

This version is $155. I think there's a $250 version on a wood stand also.

I LOVE it and think it's such a powerful symbol having the statue on ground level. I do worry that people will put inappropriate things on it or take tag it. I can also imagine people doing rude things for a picture.

I hope they have a CM or security for Storytellers.

They really do exist!

Now, finally, I have a reason to go to Disneyland.

Thanks Tom.

The limited edition statue with a wood base is $195. Appears to be the same statue other than the base

Love this! I'm not a 'collector', but I would definitely like to buy this.

And speaking of (1) must haves and (2) reasons to go to Disneyland:

I love the new catch phrase. I'll add it to the list.

"Toigo-esque goose bumps"
"Story Time with Wayne"

Good one. And by the way, I DID get goose bumps when I saw the little version of the statue in the store!

 

[TinkerChelle]

Thanks for the info on the statute. Hopefully, they will still be for sale in August.


Yup, "Toigo-esque goose bumps" is definitely an excellent phrase. I am sure I'll be using it, too. I really enjoy Wayne and the whole Disneyland Podcast team. I have even been lurking on the Disneyland boards...maybe I'll post something soon.

Dang. Tom beat me to it...

Be still my heart.

Wish is said "Disneyland" instead of Disney Parks though.

I honestly don't care what it says on the side. Starbucks has hit Disney!

I must get a Disney Starbucks cup! I wonder if they'll sell reusable tumblers and travel mugs with that logo.

I was hoping the same thing. Disney Freak and coffee geek.

Yeah, that would be awesome.

I'm keeping an eye out for those. My son works for Starbucks, so we do have those at home.

They DO have the big (disposable) plastic cups that say Starbucks on one side, and Disney on the other. I really like them.

I'm also going to check today to see if they accept Starbucks cards.
