Potato head help...

[la79al]

DSis is in WDW right now, willing to buy me anything I want for next years trip. I'm wondering whether I should have her fill a box of potato parts for me. DD does not play with her potato head at home but it has mostly 'career' type parts. I have no idea whether she would play with Disney parts. She is 5 1/2 and very girly, loves turning everything into a talking family.

Maybe she'd like that better?

My kids [7,5 & 4 2 girls & boy] love potato heads. They put them together often [several times a month] and play with them. We have many pieces [sadly no disney pieces...forgot to get at WDW duh!] though so maybe it would make a difference.

My 5 and 7 year old girls love the little ponies though so that might be a good idea too.

My DD (almost 7) has the Disney parts for PH. I've bought them at WDW and DL. She plays with them every once and awhile-I think I actually bought them for me! I had the best time stuffing that box. We already had the body, so we were really able to stuff that box!

We also did the MLP at WDW a few times ago. She's played with them a few times too.

She's an only child and I know if I ask her to play with either one, she will.

Oh, by the way, I was at Sams Club this weekend and came soooo close to buying more PH. The have a set of 2 regular size heads, 2 small heads, and 40 (or more) parts. The best part, they come in a large PH container dressed as a pirate and some of the parts are piratey. It was just under $20. Such a good deal buy my DD wasn't all that interested.

same here!!! my daughter also got given the Darth Tater head and I think I liked it better than she did. i have to admit, i'm not a big MLP fan, so i carefully steered her attention away from them. That worked last yr when she was not quite 3, but I don't think it's going to work this year!

not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know if you can buy Mr. P parts a la carte there? i didn't realize at the time that there are "special" disney hands that allow him to hold the various accessories. that really bugs my daughter when she *does* play with her Mr. P --- that he can't actually hold his popsicle, etc.

????? I know about the Mr. Potato Head pieces, but can you tell me more about this? We will be there in Oct. with my DD4 who LOVES My Little Ponies!
I would so appreciate it!

The My Little Pony station is in the Once Upon a Toy store at Downtown Disney. In January, there were 4 ponies to choose from, plus all kinds of "furniture" and DD5's favorite- princess and Minnie dresses and hats. DD filled a box with 2 ponies and TONS of clothes and accessories. I mean TONS! It was $18 and you could fit all 4 or zero ponies plus accessories. Very fun!

I am a Potato Head fanatic. Filling Potato Head boxes is one of my favorite parts of my trip. I grab a basket and fill it with all the pieces I want and then go find an empty spot on the floor and pack and repack my box. Yes, I'm a nutjob, but I absolutely LOVE filling Potato Head boxes. DD6 and DS3 play with them occasionally, but they are really MY collection

are the ponies special "Disney" ponies, or, as with the Potato Heads, does it make more sense to buy the accessories and buy the ponies themselves elsewhere?
