Is "buying a Mickey watch" in WDW, the "thing" to do???

[soccer mom]

We buy one almost everytime we go because no one thinks to bring one from home and we're afraid we'll be late for our PS's!
What an excuse!

I had the same thing happen to a watch I bought at the same shop on Main Street, only mine broke about 1.5 years after I bought it. The next time I was at WDW I took the watch to World of Disney at DTD, back in the back where all the watches are, and a very nice CM working there fixed the clasp for me! He said they don't have replacement parts, but if it's fixable they'll do it for you. Good luck.

I too am one that will only wear metal bands.
RickinNYC....agree totally!

Every time we go....I spend what seems like hours looking at the watches...
The shop at MK is great, so is the shop at MGM. I have purchased 2 at the MGM shop and one at the shop in Downtown Disney.
I still have quite a few watches that I got at the Disney Store....and we all know they don't carry anything like that anymore...
So needing a new watch is another reason we "HAVE TO GO TO WDW!"

Has anyone purchased one with a leather band and asked to have the band repaced with a metal band?? There have been a few styles I've seen and did not buy them because of the leather band...
This time I may ask if they will replace the band. Other wise I will have the band replaced when I get home.

AZKathy, I don't remember that one! I am a huge Cinderella fan (hence my DIS name ) and would like one of the castle. I have 2 other Cinderella watches I got from the Disney Store Gallery when it was still open up here in Ohio.
But I would love one like that....also if it had a metal band. Does it?
I am going in Oct and will be looking for that watch.
Thanks!!!

My husband gets one almost every year.
A couple are really nice that were on sale years ago at Dowtown Disney. His favorite is an Artist watch with Mickey and the Tower of Terror.

We have the 25th year watches but my favorite is from Disneyland - has Disneyland on the watch face - my husband has Mickey and I have two - Minnie and Eeyore.
I'll have to tell him he isn't the only one that collects Disney Watches.

WDW didn't repair, but REPLACED my watch when a function failed after six months. I love Disney watches. I have about a dozen of them Even when I don't make a purchase, I carefully scan every case of watches at every store at WDW to be sure I haven't missed the ultimate watch.

My watches seem to last forever, so when I look at a watch I concentrate on the watch itself and not the band. The Mickey watch (bought 5 years ago at the Watch Shop on Main Street while avoiding post parade crowds...) on my wrist at the moment has had 4 different bands since I bought it.

Also, since bands are very replacable, I won't let an ugly band keep me from buying a beautiful watch.

Good luck on finding the perfect Disney watch!!

I got my original Mickey watch years ago at Disneyland. I wore it out of the shop, so the CM set the correct time for me. We always joked that it was set to "the happiest time on earth!"

I was crushed when the strap broke several years later and the watch was lost. I purchased another Mickey watch (a Seiko--I'm not sure if they still have a Mickey line of watches or not) at a local department store to replace it. The next time I was at WDW, I made a point of having a CM set the time for me so I could have my "happy time" back.

I bought mine at World of Disney at DTD two years ago. I bought an identical one for my wife at a local jewelry store, it costs $10 bucks more locally. So much for getting gouged at WDW..

Everytime I go to WDW I always get a Disney watch!!! It is a tradition for me. I love the fact that the World of Disney is a huge store with SO many different watches to choose from. I live in NY and it's hard for me to find a Disney watch that I really like. When I"m there I always find a really nice watch....it's become part of my vacation!!!!
