OT: Disney Candles

[ksloane]

I posted this on the budget board too so that more people would see it, but since I spend more time here than anywhere else on DIS I feel that you guys are more my "family." So....I wanted to be sure to share with youthis great Disney find! I have found another way to blow...err...spend my money on Disney (and I can assure you that some of you will start to see these in your exchanges in the months to come).

I'm just going to copy and paste my review:

Ok..I'm not sure where to really post this so I'm going to post on the couple boards that I call "home."

I just have to share what I bought that I received today!! Disney Candles!!!

I am so impressed so I had to share with my fellow disney fans.

I just got my candles today and I'm already in LOVE !!! And I was also just as impressed with the packaging as I was with the candles!! AMAZING!! The box was addressed with a disney script, a hidden mickey was on the box(I found it!), and it was covered with disney stickers. The large candles are super. They are nothing like the homemade candles around here...the jars are HIGH quality (and decorated with disney stickers too). I ordered Main Street Bakery and Philharmagic. The bakery one is a brown/tan color and the philharmagic one is pink. And they both smell so good I would have a hard time choosing between them (in fact, I bet I don't..I expect to order both of them again). I had 2 tarts..the dole whip (which is yellow) and the potc which is a dark brown (looks like fudge). I also really like the dole whip, but my initial reaction is that I wouldn't want a big one of it. I'll burn it though and see if it grows on me. VERY IMPRESSED! I can't wait to burn them and really enjoy them. I will be a repeat customer!

Yankee Candle snob here
How do they compare in scents? Strong? Long lasting?
How long do the tarts last?
You probably haven't had time to tell yet. Please post back when you burn them more.

Yep..I almost only by Yankee Candles but I couldn't resist and so far I'm VERY glad that I took the chance. The scents are very strong...not too strong, but very noticeable. I left them in my kitchen (with the lids on) this evening when I went to my parents and when I got back, I could smell them as soon as I walked into the kitchen.

I havent tried the tarts..actually don't even have a way to yet...I really just got them so I could try a couple more scents cheaply. I will actually try them out though after I can get to the store again.

They are soy based so based on my prior experience with this they will be long lasting, but I'll let you know. I'm burning the bakery one tonight for a little while as I try to finish up my latest novel.

Okay I looked at the website.
there aren't really any descriptions of the scents. What does PotC smell like??
I have burned soy before and wasn't overly impressed.
The prices seem a bit steep when the postage is included (I always get my Yankees with a coupon, so am spoiled).
Cute jars though.
I guess I need to wait and hear some more of your feedback.

I hope you are as pleased as I am. I burned the main street bakery one last night before bed (and am burning it again now). I really like it. In fact, I woke up hungry for cinnamon rolls so guess what we had for breakfast?!

 

[disneygirlatheart]

Thanks these are adorable. Do they run specials or give discounts the more you buy? How long do they last?

 

[ksloane]

She is just starting business I think so I haven't seen any specials or discounts...maybe one day.

I just go tmy shipment Friday so I don't know how long they last. I can tell you I've burned mine at least an hour each day since I've gotten it and it barely looks used at all.

Sorry I didn't have more info.

Hey Yankee snobs - I work for Yankee! But I will go check these out, anything DIS has to be worth the look at least! We've never had a Disney candle at Yankee (licensing I'm sure) but we set up the Halloween displays last night & early this morning - gotta love em!

 

[kimbac3]

I'm planning on making an order. I hope they smell good, these would make great gifts for my Disney-crazy sister and cousin!

Sunshine Rewards members get a free tart when they order through them. These are rockin. The POTC is a spiced rum smell. I would totally suggest them. They fill the whole house without even lighting them.

Sunshine rewards is a rewards program that rewards you for signing up for offers, reading email, online shopping...they are one of the few reward programs that allow you to cash out for Disney Gift Cards and Disney DOllars! I've tried lots of reward sites over the years and this is the first I've found that I truly LOVE!!! There's a referall contest going on right now where I can send you a special link and you get a bonus for signing up that you won't get if you just sign up on your own....just send me a PM if you happen to be interested.
