I'm just delighted to have given a tip that panned out (about the Contemporary)! I mean, I always write things here on the DIS sincerely, and with first-hand knowledge, but then it always seems as though there's another poster out there who tells me my info is wrong (does this happen to you, too?)

Anyway, thanks for the info on the scrap convention! To be a little more specific about what I bought at the Contemp -- a teeney tiny mickey head punch (slightly smaller than the mickey head confetti that they sell), a set of spiral mickey head paper clips (having a blast with these!), a box full of "vintage Disney stickers" -- lots of funky attraction and mickey mouse club stuff, really fun, the mickey head scissors (but they do seem to sell these everywhere).... hmmm. That's all I'm remembering at the moment -- I bought more, and I know I had a tough time making my choices because of all the great stuff.

BTW, it's the store that's on the right if you are facing that back-end, "non-Chef-Mickey's" side of the Contemporary.

I'll definately make sure I stop by the Contemporary this year, I've never been inside a deluxe resort before (except on the monorail travelling through the Contemporary) so it should be interesting to have a look around too. Shame non of the restaurants appeal to us, all way too fancy.

I wish the scrapping convention was on a bit later, we're going to miss it as we're out there end of Sept/early Oct. I'd love to attend a US convention.

I am an avid scrapper and going to Disney for the first time this Feb. We will be at Chef mickeys our arrival night for an early dinner, so I would love to get some scrap stuff! Could you tell me exactly where in the Contemporary it is? TIA!

Could you tell me exactly where in the Contemporary it is? TIA!

OK -- the 4th floor "Grand Concourse" of the Contemp is a huge rectangle. The escalators/elevators are sort of in the center of the rectangle. Chef Mickeys occupies one entire short end of the rectangle, and the Concourse Steakhouse is situated just outside Chef Mickey's, on that same side/end of the rectangle. The other end of the rectangle has all of the shops. You can tell right away if you have restaurants around you and can see Chef Mickey's, or if you are surrounded by stores.

Now, on the store end of this large rectangle, there's an "open air," pin store and souvenier shop in the middle/toward the back of THIS short end of the rectangle (still with me?). If you stand facing this pin store, it means that Chef Mickey's is at your back (even though you can't see it because of those central elevators, etc.). From this perspective, the store on your RIGHT (which will probably appear from the outside to have lots of clothing and housewares) is the place I found all the great stuff. The store(s) on the LEFT-hand side (opposite) have a lot of toys and there's a "sundries" store with newspapers, beverages, etc. over there, too. There may be "some" scrap stuff over on that other side, but I found the motherlode on the right hand side. But you know what? The CMs are so friendly and helpful that if you get there and are confused, just ask and I am SURE you will get pointed in the right direction!

Have a blast!

Thanks Bleeps!

We'll be there the end of the month, and planning a stop at the Contemporary now. I had told DH that I really NEEDED to go to the scrapbook store at DTD (for some reason he just rolled his eyes )...I figured it would be like Toys r Us for me...In my mind it was all the Disney licensed scrapbook stuff in one place Well that is what it should be anyway. What a disappointment that Disney hasn't figured out how to use that store to it's potential. Really missing the boat on that one...

So, I guess now I have to figure out how much I want to spend there BEFORE I leave home...
