Minnie as Lilo beanbag quest

[MerryPoppins]

My daughter collects the Minnie dressed as "princesses" beanbags. She missed the Lilo one. When we asked at our Disney Store, they assured her that there was no such beanbag. The CM didn't know what DD was talking about. I just got the spring sale catalog and it was listed as item 24496-SY3 for $3.99 on closeout. I was elated because DD's birthday is coming up and I thought it would be a nice addition to her gifts.

It wasn't listed on the Disney Store's web site. When I plugged that code into the search feature, they said it wasn't available. Anyone know how I could try to get one? Anyone see one at their Disney Store or at WDW?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you try calling? Sometimes the skus change from catalog to catalog.

The item number came up with the correct picture. Just they didn't have it in stock. I'd like to know if that means it is finished or if they'll get more, so I'll try calling the number in my catalog tomorrow. I'm afraid that since it is marked down that it is discontinued.

CALL CALL CALL
and explain your situation. They will find you one! If you don't get a helpful CM try again. Handle it just as if you are making reservations through CRO!

Good luck!!!

Yay! Thank you for telling me to call. They found one for me. I may earn mother of the year when she opens Lilo Minnie on her birthday.

They CM I spoke to was so sweet. Very helpful. He said he might just have to order one at that price for his relative after he gets off work.

Thanks again. This made my day.

I am so glad to hear you found one. I love happy endings!

The CM said it was always great to work with someone who sounded so happy. He has no idea how thrilled I was. My daughter was SOOO disappointed when we couldn't pick this Minnie up at The Disney Store. She had heard it was really cute and it is. She is also getting the Minnie Sleeping Beauty. It'll be a happy day!

Way to go MerryPoppins!

They have come through for me several times when I needed a hard to find item.

Make sure to get a picture of your daughter when she opens her gift..... can't miss that Kodak moment!

That's funny you should post this, DD is sitting on the floor next to me playing with a Minnie beanbag plush we got for her. I think we got it at the Disney on Ice. She's wearing a red dress with silver trim on the bottom. She's got a cute red scorceror's hat with some glittery fabric off of it. I looked for a name but couldn't figure out who she was supposed to be. She's cute though...
