Alice in Disneyland (Wonderland) event
Sorry I wasn't as clear as I could have been. Many of you got what I was saying.
Online only registrations and buying would allow me or anyone else to sign up as many times as I could find people willing to do so as a favor to me. No need to use fake names, although I've gotten some good ideas from some of the posts here! :lol:
For all that won, I could just pay them to complete online the purchase for me. There would be no limit to the number of entries I could do, other than the number of family and friends I could get to do it for me.
Making people show up at Disneyland with admission and a valid ID makes it harder to get a bunch of people to sign up for you. Getting someone to agree to go down in person to Disney with you to get something they don't care about is harder than asking them to just do something online for you. :lol:
I'm pretty sure many people here signed up their family members and friends that don't even collect pins to improve their chances of getting the pins they wanted.:wavey: And if that family member of friend is willing to go down to Disney and stand in line like everyone else for the wristband and buying the pins, that is fine.
OK, fine let's agree to end it and move on. Everyone has an opinion and they are like armpits - they all stink. So let's get back to the positive side of things and talk about the excitement.
I'm so excited about the event and hope that Saturday someone will post pictures of the fun, the artist signing and of course, the star of the show - the pins. I will be so nice to see what they really look like instead of the tiny pictures shown. I hope the door knob will live up to my dreams and be just so exciting.
What pin are looking forward to seeing in person the most?
Since I seem to have started this concept about allowing people who cannot make it to still purchase the pins, I'd like to say that anyone who would lie, cheat and steal to appease their own greed is not someone I'd like to know and quite frankly I don't want to be a part of a community that those people would be a part of. I've said several times that I have had more negative experiences with pin traders than positive and clearly if pin trading attracts people that are willing to commit fraud just for a couple of pins than I can see why.
On a more positive note, Margaret, the painting I bought is actually not of Alice, it's the Duchess and I'm thinking of getting another one of his paintings, either the Queen of Hearts or the Cheshire Cat. I mostly collect Alice, but occasionally I'll find a painting of another character that strikes my fancy. Most of them are off of ebay, however they are considered "folk art" for the most part and therefore are not exact likenesses of Alice, so if you are looking for Disney's Alice I would suggest finding an artist who can replicate her and just commission them.
I'd also really like to thank eyehahndisney for helping me get the logo and eat me/drink me pins. Thanks so much! Again. Since I was at the mercy of the vultures she was my angel of grace. I hope everyone sends her a high five.
Those pictures of the pins are...well...they take my breath away!! They are the most fantastic pins I've ever seen and now I can hardly wait to see them in person. I'm going to be tied to the computer all day tomorrow to see how things are going. Everyone should have a lovely time and remember, if you find the Mystery Pins (not the chasers) I still need them.
I can't stop thinking about those pictures. OMG they are beyond words. The door knob - priceless.
And I have a question. If you look closely at this picture it says the Mystery Pins are LE1000. So shouldn't all the pins in the set be LE1000? Maybe I'm just not getting it, but that's the way I read it. Can someone clear this up for me?
each box contains 2 mystery pins that are le 200, and there are 10 designs which = out to 1000 boxes.im so excited and worried all at the same time.i was going over my budget and i dont think ill be able to get everything i want.time to call in some early bday gifts hahaha.
Oh they ARE awesome in person! When I have said I stood drooling for quite some time over them I was NOT kidding...lol
Could not resist sharing them again.
WOW!
Now I understand why you were really on a mission for that Jumbo Doorknob!
That thing is GORGEOUS!
I really hope you ended up securing one for your collection
