Pandora charms availability in the parks?

[chris4disney]

Can anyone report on the availability of the new Disney Pandora charms that are sold exclusively in the parks? On our last trip to WDW we left the day before they were to start selling the charms. I'm pretty sure I saw online before they were released that the park exclusive charms would all be under $60-70. But now when I look on Ebay some are selling for $150-$200 each! If that is the case, I may have to wait until our next visit in 2015 and buy them there myself. But I'm curious if anyone is having trouble finding them there.

Was there last week. First off, if you can get up to the counter to see or ask. Second, I was over hearing that a lot of things were sold out. Since I didn't ask, I can't be of much help, but it's looking like it will be hard to find for this Christmas anyway. I bought a pandora charm, but I doubt it was exclusive to the parks. Hopefully, it will calm down after Christmas.

Thanks! I also have a couple Disney Pandora charms that were purchased here in my hometown (here in Ohio), so obviously they weren't the park exclusive charms. We aren't going back to WDW until next October, so hopefully the craziness will die down by then.

A lot of them were sold out when we were there in November. It was a bummer.

I was there last week and the Disney beads where sold out everywhere. They had regular Pandora beads all over the place but none of the Disney ones.

I was at the jewelry store in MK yesterday and bought the bracelet with the castle lock. They had many peace, love and Mickey charms but not any of the other park exclusives.

Well, I just got back from WDW, where I did some asking around about the new line of Disney Pandora charms. At the counter where they "are" sold in the Contemporary Hotel, I chatted with the Cast Member to find out what was going on. She told me that they had been given a 6 month supply of charms and that they all sold out in 5 hours. I kept asking around and no one seems to know when they will be back in stock. I think Disney Merchandizing got blind-sided by the demand.

After being dragged around all week in the search for the elusive Pandora charms ..........here is what I can tell you .
Bracelets seem easier to get .........wife got the park exclusive ones at World of Disney in DTD .
Went around to all of the deluxe resorts to find some charms . Not too many too be had. Kept coming across the "peace,love and mickey" (I think thats it ) and was pretty easy to find. Contemporary had the most out of all the deluxe resorts , but no other park exclusives besides "P,L &M" .
Then we decided to check (again) at the MK Jewelers, and they just got in a shipment. They had almost every park exclusive charm in stock ..........but they were going QUICK ! They even had the rare Animal Kingdom one.
Luckily the wifey was able to get all the park exclusives she was looking for and wanted. Used our DVC discount, and some hard earned Disney Visa bucks. That brought the price down a bunch. Not sure how many charms she got (too scared to look ) , but she was very happy that she was able to get all the ones what she wanted , so its all good .

OH and BTW, Wishes is now sponsored by Pandora !!!

I was there last week. I talked with the CM at Uptown Jewelers on Main Street. They had the Park exclusive bracelet, but no charms. He told me that Disney initially underestimated demand and Pandora is working to catch up. He also told me that he had heard that the shop at the Boardwalk might still have some charms.

I stopped there and talked with a CM. She insisted that Park exclusive charms were only available in the parks and not in any resort shops. From the press release, I think she is wrong, but regardless there were no charms. I was very disappointed and I let everyone I talked to know.

We did find the park exclusive "peace love and mickey" at several resorts this past week.

Finally, Uptown Jewelers JUST got a shipment in (Wed 10th -Thursday 11th) , and we lucked out and found most of the park exclusive charms available .

Same thing is happening with merchandise that you only get at the parties. A Castmember told me at the party on Nov. 30th that they had given out early on with some of the merchandise after just a few parties. They know how big the crowds have been and how people want this exclusive merchandise. So what gives?

I was at Mk Uptown Jewelers on Wednesday and couldn't believe how rude guests were being to the CMs working there. One guest reached across the counter and took a watch right off of a CMs wrist while she was helping another guest with her purchase. After seeing and hearing what is said and done to these CM's I'm amazed that they still display the true "Disney" spirit.

I was looking for the park exclusives when I was there. HS and AK were sold out. I was able to find 1 at EPCOT (Mouse Gears) and 2 at MK. I wasn't interested in the ones I can order online or get at any Pandora store. A salesperson told me at HS that they weren't expecting a shipment until February, while the lady at Mouse Gears told me there was no way they could know that; she said they would get a shipment of around 1000 in at a time and they were usually sold out within a few hours. While standing in line at Mouse Gears I noticed (a different) one on display on a bracelet, but the woman in front of me snagged it before I could get it, lol.

Just FYI; they have the 2015 bead, the sorcerer's hat, the bracelets, etc.. online in the Disney Store. The only ones that may be totally in park exclusive may be the WDW resort bead, Animal Kingdom, Aulani, cruise ship, and Disneyland beads. Did anyone see any of these online?

What are they listed under? I just looked and I can't find them under either jewelry or charms.

I think she meant that all of them have popped up on disneystore.com at one point or another... but they've been OOS for weeks. Basically since the release. The thing is that Pandora/Disney woefully underestimated what they thought the popularity would be and sold what they deemed "six months stock" in a regular Pandora store in a few hours at Disney. Totally shocked they wouldn't account for the foot traffic being 10x in MK than in a local mall.

I always check by going to the search box and putting in "Pandora." It comes back and tells me the styles are currently sold out. For some reason it seems disney store doesn't let you see the individual item if it is sold out.

I must have had good timing because this was the only place I could find park exclusive charms on my trip this past week. I bought 2 from Uptown Jeweler's on the 11th!

Do you have a picture of them? Were they the ones exclusive to the park? I asked for a Disney Pandora bracelet for Christmas and we are going to WDW in April and I would like to add to it.

Thanks
