What to do? Son didn't get "First Haircut" hat

[FigmentJason]

Dec. 1 we had a reservation for the Disney World Main Street Barbershop for my son's first haircut. After the experience (which was just OK - a little rushed and not too organized), they said for us to give them our address and they will mail the hat. Well, we haven't received it yet and now I have been looking online and it looks like people get the hat right away usually (and get comments from CMs). If they were out of them why couldn't they just give us a voucher to go over to the hat store to have one stitched for us. But that isn't my question -- has anyone else had this type of experience with the hat being mailed? Any suggestions? I'm thinking of just calling the place we made the reservation with.

We just had this done for our son last week.

I was told that the hats would be delivered sometime in late January...possibly even February. They had a very long list of names that they would be mailing them out to.

We really enjoyed the experience but my ds's hair was a mess afterwards. He didn't move once the entire time and all the staff in the shop commented on how they hadn't had a baby sit so still like him in quite some time. So it wasn't because he was moving. When we got home we fixed it up no problem though.

Ya know, when you think about it, why do they even give out hats to cover up a nice new haircut?

Thanks for the tip about them being delayed! And I guess that is funny to get a hat after a haircut huh?! Oh, anyone who makes a reservation -- make sure to go in and tell the people you have a reservation! I was expecting a small place, but this was really small with nobody at the front desk or anything. Also it seemed like everyone hanging around did not have a reservation.

I got the hat for my son right there but when it was my daughters turn the following year they ran out. I was really upset since this was the point of the visit to WDW. I also had to call them and when the hat came I had an autographed picture of Mickey addressed to my daughter.

I LOVE the fact my kids both had their first haircuts there, LOVE the pictures of the bubbles and the hats My kids only wore them for a photo, after that they became my keepsakes.
