I swear I'm not a serial killer guys.

Isn't that what all serial killers say??

But they have a land and don't need more in mk than buzz that's already there.

I feel the same. A Woody's Roundup show is a great idea but keep in TSL.

So glad to hear it's fake news. There are so few "original" things left in the parks, and the bears aren't in Disneyland anymore. I really hope they stay in the Magic Kingdom.

I know people have posted here about the Mickey waffle maker. Do you actually like it? I have 0 willpower and am considering getting one.

Yes! It makes legit good waffles and they come out pretty cute too.

Very true, but sadly Disney has been gutting older attractions and pushing IPs. I bet if Toy Story 4 does well in theaters it may be even more likely.

I'm hoping it's fake news but I just don't trust Disney anymore to keep anything original. I also feel since CBJ has been removed from DLR, there is even more reason to keep in WDW. I just wish someone with a 'classic Disney' vision would be put in charge.

Thank you! With the current promotion (and 10% Ebates) I think it is the best I am going to do on the unit

I'm wanting it too. I almost bought it from Hot Topic at 30% off but I didn't move fast enough and they sold out. My b-day is coming up and I told my dh I wanted the waffle maker for my b-day. However, like all other b-day gifts, if there is something I want, I really should just buy it myself

shopDisney and the 15/20/25% off sale going on right now?

I’ll note that Disney raised the price on the Mickey waffle maker from $64.95 to $74.95, and neither were as cheap as when Hot Topic had them. The sale and Ebates should help. Still, these restocks have really hit the eBay resell market hard.

As for the waffle maker itself, I have one and I like it. It makes deep Mickey waffles like you’d find in the parks and resorts. I’ve read it recommended to buy Carbon’s Golden Malted Pancake and Waffle Mix to get as close to authentic Mickey waffle as you can make at home. I’m venturing into the realm of personal taste here, but that mix is a little too dry for my tastes. Your tastes may differ. Carbon’s mix does make really beautifully even golden brown waffles though. I’ve been using my own Belgian waffle recipe and it comes out fine too.

I will note that the waffle maker flips and has 3 molds on each side. But make sure to always push the locking mechanism in before flipping because the plastic twists otherwise when you flip the iron and I actually cracked the plastic around the handle early on (since super glued back together).

Same! The thing that stopped me was shipping. I did not qualify for free shipping and I did not want to head to my local mall to pick it up for free. It sold out so I took it as a sign HAHA

Yes, the $10 increase really soured me, but 25% with the 10% cash back and discounted gift cards edges out all previous prices even with the 10% Disney Visa savings. I was waiting for a good coupon and it is finally here. I also have a backpack I had my eye on in the parks and a Stitch plush in my cart (do I need ANY of this?! LOL)

Thanks for the review and tip! Mickey waffles are just so fun when you are away. It seems like a great way to bring the parks home once in awhile. I read about that mix and would have to figure out the cheapest (and safest) way to get it. It really kills me inside to pay shipping on anything!

I have a feeling that you do not need another Stitch plush lol!!!

Yeah, I think with the 25% off, 10% Ebates, and paying with discounted Disney GCs, you’re looking at better than Hot Topic’s 30% off pricing.

As for Carbon’s Golden Malted Mix, you may be able to find it at World Market for a reasonable price: Carbon's Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour. Compared to $20+ from third-party sellers on Amazon.

I am SO excited for this. You don’t even know lol

 

[PolyRob]

You are 100% correct I have a pretty decent collection. It also bothers me that Disney changed this one. It used to be $2 less (when full price) and say nothing on it's foot. Now it is slightly more expensive and branded. Nothing against Hawaii, I just didn't get it there! I should have purchased it at Poly last year (I believe @kmc8826 did for her daughter?!)

Thank you! I do have a few of them by me. I could always run in for some mix! (Do they take Amex?! )

I wish I'd gotten this for my dd16. She is a Stitch nut (like you!). What a great Stitch!

 

[Lain]

Huh. The Force FX lightsabers are included in this sale...

Side note, we did not end up building lightsabers in SWGE because while the experience looked cool, the lightsabers themselves are bit too fat and big to feel like the real thing you’d see onscreen. Part of it is because of the modular nature of the hilts, but also because the pieces — while metallic — are die cast and not CNC, and have a plastic-y look to them.

Maybe on your next trip. I checked MDE and it looks like stores on property still have the original! Lets see how tempted I am after a Lapu Lapu

Oh nice! You could probably end up with one for under $100 after all the discounts.

Bummer about the GE lightsabers. I would also fear bringing that thing on an airplane! You got the droid which honestly looks more fun to me!

It’s so very normal, annoying and it’s just how citi rolls lol.

I can wait and feel better just knowing it’s normal for them. I will have college tuition bills coming next month that I am planing to use DH’s new CIP ( which didn’t arrive yet either) and this AA citi card to meet MSR on both.
