potato head help...

(originally posted on family board)...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.

Your DD might like the Disney ones better than the ones you get at local stores because they are funner.. My DD8 is not a huge potato head person but she loves her Disney Potato Head things.. she takes them out now and then and still plays with them after 1 year.. so that means its a keeper for her.. she doesnt usually play with things that long..

Your DD might like the different princess parts..

Get her the Star Wars Parts. I have Darth Tader, A Spud Trooper, and R2-Potatoo.

I never had a potato head when I was a kid and I like the ones I have now.

I say go for it! The Disney parts are great, and I enjoy (yes, I'm old and play with Potato Heads) getting the Disney parts out before we go on a trip there to get everyone in the spirit. They have a lot, though, more parts than will fit in one box...so you might want to think about which parts you'd prioritize getting. (Example - Tink's wings take up a LOT of space in the box...if you are adding some of those chunky hats like Mad Hatter and Goofy ears, etc...you have to be very creative in your packing!

There is a wonderful lady who works in the Once Upon a Toy store in DTD. I don't know her name, but she has been really great every time I'm there (yeah, I'm there a lot). She's in a wheelchair, and she's been there everytime I've been there, so I think she's a long time CM.
