If you go to the one in DTD, don't go when Linda is working(she's blonde and wears glasses). She's PUSHY! She really aggrevated my sil when we were there. She kept trying to sell my neice this very expensive ring and didn't want to take no for an answer and got upset when I told her she could just take it home and pick something later when she has more money like I did with my daughter's pearl.

Both my girls picked one but only one got a necklace. They drill for some necklaces and for earrings. My daughter got the heart shaped cage for her pearl.

Ugg I hate when people are pushy like that. I would have walked away too. I was planning on going to Japan anyway since it's my favorite country in Epcot, but this seals the deal!

I don't know but I was very surprised. She kept telling us if you don't set it now and wear it all the time the pearl will get ruined and dry out. The other ladies that work there were great. Maybe they are pushing more now with the economy? It was this past weekend.

I forgot to mention, one pearl was 7mm white and the other was 7.5 mm also white. I am surfing ebay now so I can find a pumpkin coach! I would love one for me. I found the crown one. It's cute!

I have heard that if you wait a few years to drill the pearl, it is more prone to crack when drilled. But, there are other ways of dealing with old pearls, like glue. I'd saved a pearl from Japan for maybe ten years before I finally got it set in a necklace setting at a local jeweler. They used glue (not sure if they also drilled it or not, as I can't tell from the way it hangs).

There is no need for them to be pushy.

i believe it's called a cinderella cage - not pumpkin -though you may find someone put pumkin in the discription

I just received my fairy tale carridges in the mail today!! I search for the coach and found them by searching for wish pearls. I found them at www.pearlwishes.com I'm so glad that I found these thank you to whoever discovered these. I bought some Hello Kitty cages as well at a different site. I actually found those on E-Bay.

Thanks for posting this. I just purchased the carriage. I purchased a pearl last year in Epcot and had it put in a ring and the pearl broke off. I brought it back to them but they said they could not do anything. I still have the pearl. I will now just put it in the carriage. Can't wait to receive it.

UPDATE
WOW - I got my Cinderella carriage the other day and found my pearl this morning and put it in the carriage. I must say, I absolutely LOVE it. It looks so nice. I put it on a long silver chain and am wearing it right now. I will try to take a picture of it later today and upload it so everyone can see it. It is really beautiful. Just as an FYI - my pearl was a 7. I think it says it can go up to a 7.5. It is really great.

I also bought 2 pearls last year and had them put into one necklace which they have come loose from. I was planning to bring them this year to have them reglue them. Will they not do this? That stinks! That is why I was also planning on using the cages this time.

I was so excited to order the wish pearl online - thinking that dd would love the dolphin wish pearl - and not want to get the Japan one

Because of the size of the wish pearls, I now know that they xray the oysters and know how many special pearls they put out - this still makes our favorite souvenier from disney!

she loves the pearls!! I think its addictive - like gambling because she so wants twin pearls!

When we went this weekend they told us if anything breaks within 2 years they will fix it. I just have to mail it back in. I don't know if that is new though. Good luck with it!

I would say to try to bring it back if it is just loose. Mine actually broke off and the stem from the ring was stuck in the drilled hole so they could not do anything. I did not even think of putting it in a cage. Glad I saw this.

My girls are 9 & 14 and I think we're finally going to make sure we find the time to do this.....There are some great tips here....I think I'm going to look for a cage before we leave.....thanks for the tips!

I am really loving this thread. We are going to be in Disney in March and this was one thing I was thinking about doing for my DDs and after looking at other poster's settings I know we are definately going to do this. I also think I will be getting one for myself .

So, after reading every page of this thread, I finally found the pumpkin coach/Cinderella carriage on ebay and then here at the last page someone found the exact same one on that website for half the price! Thank you everyone! I think I will order them ahead of time and let my girls look forward to the pearl event.
