Mr. PotatoHead Bucket?

[DisneylandOrBust]

so someone was telling me that they have a really cool sovenier of Mr. Potato Head parts that is all you can fit in a bucket for one price... does anyone know what that price is... I'm debating on that or a Build a Bear?

Thanks!!

It's a box (think Happy meal type) that you can load with as many parts, accessories as possible for a set price. I think it's about $20 plus tax. Don't buy the body there though the ones in stores outside the park are able to fit all of the parts. The CMs will help you get as many pieces in there as possible. All that has to happen is that the box needs to close (but it doesn't have to be perfectly closed). HTH

I want to say it is somewhere between $15-$20. Here is something interesting I read on another site....

Mr. Potato Head Hints

A popular souvenir is the all-you-can-fit-in-a-box Disney-themed Mr. Potato Head toy. This is available at Engine Ears Toys, just inside the entrance of Disney's California Adventure, and possibly at other locations within the resort. For a flat fee you get as many parts as you can manage to fit into the provided box, as long as it closes and is not bulging. Here are some hints for getting the most for your money when buying this toy:

* If possible, buy one or more basic Mr. Potato Heads while you're still at home. You can get one cheaply from a discount store (or even a thrift store or yard sale, if you're really frugal). The head sold at Disneyland is the same as the standard ones sold elsewhere, and it's the bulkiest part. Since will take up a lot of room in the box, skip it and load up on the Disney-exclusive parts! You may be able to make up multiple complete sets if you buy the heads separately.

* If you do buy the head at Disneyland, be sure to open up the back and fill it up with parts! This is allowed.

*Be sure to get plenty of arms at Disneyland. The arms are different from the standard arms that you can get elsewhere, and they allow you to attach special Disney items like Mickey ice cream bars, video camera with Mickey ears, balloons and autograph books.

Hey! We were just there last week and each of my three kids bought this as a souvenir. It was, I believe 19.95. I was a bit disappointed in the parts, we usually buy a box each time we are at DL. But it is a great take home! I think better than BAB, but of course, we have a ton of those. I let my kids take their animal, and they just bought a outfit! A much better deal!

Thanks!! I already got a head... so I'll have to pack that so we can play with it hehehe! For that price I think I might have to do the Build-a-Bear and the Mr. Potato Head!

Hey guys we just got back and did this. They made me buy a head in the box.

Besides the box, they also have a giant Costco size mr. Potato head you can fill for $45.

Really?? That's a bummer - I don't want more heads.

They made you buy a head? Wierd! They weren't doing that a couple of weeks ago.

Hmmm, we didn't have to buy a head, either. We were there just over a week ago.

It's in DCA, near the front entrance (it's the storefront that looks like a train.)

Does anyone have a pic of this box?

Sounds really cute but I've never seen it before.

When I was there mid-September, they weren't making anyone buy the heads, it was just body parts in the boxes. I realy hope they haven't changed it.

Yeah I was expecting to just do the body parts, we fitted a lot in, but I wasn't able to get Donalds beak and hat, Minnies bow or any of the shoes because the kids wanted all the Darth vader and storm trooper stuff. Oh well, we jammed a lot in that box, and let me tell you, the sides were bulging. They were OK with bulging sides as long as you could close the top properly. I wish now we had just sprung for the $45 package because I think we could have fitted everything in it.
