Looking for a little Christmas Magic!

[Jill Allen]

We recently arrived home from Disney and while we were there we attended the party and my daughter bought a light up Christmas Disney balloon. It needed to be deflated to come home on the plane, so we carefully disassembled it at the hotel front desk. She asked her Elf on the Shelf, who visited us there, to take it to Santa to have it reinflated. Well, this morning Santa's helper took it to a local store to inflate it and guess what...they broke it! So, after spending all day on the phone I have been unable to find a way to purchase another and have it shipped. At this point, I am sure it will not arrive by Christmas. Staff have been very helpful, even told me if I could get to the gate they'd let me come in and get one, but I am in Pittsburgh! I have a few other feelers out, but if anyone is going to the party tomorrow or Friday I would pay you via paypal upfront for the balloon, postage and your time! I only need the outer globe. Thanks for reading

If you can’t get one, you could leave a note from Santa saying something like because he flies so fast that a balloon wouldn’t do well on his sleigh but he’s talked to Tinkerbell & she’s holding it for her for the next time she’s at Disney. Then when y’all go again you can call & see if you can get one delivered.

We are heading down tomorrow with park arrival on Fri. We aren’t doing any parties, but if there is something I can do to help out I’d be more than willing to help out.

Thanks for the kind offer! I contacted our travel agent, who was great, and she had a few colleagues in the area. They were at the park, but unable to get the balloon because they were not attending the party. She has one other colleague that is going to try again tomorrow. As an aside, I tried to tape it together and have it blown up again and it didn't work. I have still the inner balloon intact so that is blown up and ready to go. Santa will explain the other outer orb was ripped in flight!

I love these boards. I'd have done what OP did and look for a replacement. I'd have never thought to say Tinkerbellnis keeping it for her. Pure DIS genius here!
