WDW Christmas pages? About This Page:

[TinkOhio]

I'm hoping that one of you scrapping pros might know where to direct me on this one!

We took a probably once-and-only Christmas trip to WDW this past Dec., and I would love to find a specific product that was sold out. While at the scrapbooking store in DTD, I saw packages of Halloween pages, etc. for WDW parks, but no Christmas ones. The CM there said that the Christmas ones sold out way before Christmas.

Any ideas where I might be able to find one of those sold-out ones?

You didn't find any?? That is very strange I was at WDW on 12/22, 12/23, 12/25 and 12/26 and picked up 2 of the three Christmas kits. My sister purchased the third for me for Christmas. You can find the Christmas kits on eBay every now and them but they are usually very expensive (the kits are $15 at WDW). You can call the WDW merchandise number and order them directly from WDW. I don't have the number on me but it is on any WDW merchandise receipt you have.

I would call WDW merchandising directly as well to check on that, as like Robin, we found those freely available up until Christmas - I think I saw them about a day or two before Christmas. I can't believe they sold out of them.

I hope you have some luck in finding them.

Thanks to all for your help. I think Dawn has this one covered!

You know, maybe the CM was just upset. There were no kits on the shelf, so I stood in line to ask AND to buy postcards to send to a friend's daughters--fairy godmailings. While in line, I filled out the cards that were going to be purchased right there and then in the front of the line that I was standing in. Two customers were ahead of me. When it was my turn, I told the CM- a very small Woody Allen type looking guy from NY- that I was paying for the postcards first. They were 50 cents each. I also asked how to get the Disney postmark on those cards. Could he put it in Disney mail box behind him when we were done with the transaction?

Well- get ready for this one--he sternly told me that I had just commited an act of vandalism, and that he could call the police if he wanted to!!! I think my jaw just about hit the counter! He went on to tell me that I had done "lots of things" wrong. 1. Writing on the postcards before giving him the money. 2. I had put those cute Disney character stamps on the card thinking that the little girls who would be receiving them would get a kick out of it, and now he couldn't put a postmark on them. 3. I was late for today's mailing, so it would just have to wait!

I was shocked, frightened, embarrassed, and angry all at the same time, but I did fell into the good little Catholic girl routine that I was raised on and killed hime with kindness. You know, "Thanks for not calling the police, thanks for your help," etc.

Oh, yes...he put the postcards in his box after I was done paying. I asked him about the Christmas scrapbooking pages after the postcard fiasco. That's when he said that they had sold out long ago.

It was our last day at Disney, and I didn't want to ruin our memories of the awesome time that we had untill then, so I tried to hide this whole thing from my husband and kids when I got back to the car. Soon after, my back and neck were screaming in pain from the knots that the stress of the confrontation had caused, and I just lost it.

When I finally told my husband about what had happened, he said that the little man was lucky that we were back at the resort when he heard about the situation. He really wanted to talk to a manager about the CM, but I didn't want to ruin the end of our trip.

I can honestly say that this angry CM was the ONLY lousy worker that I encountered on our whole trip. I LOVE Disney and will be back in a couple of months. He made HIMSELF look bad, not Disney.

I'm not sure what made me talk about this now, except that it happened at the scrapbooking store. Sorry to rant, but are you all as shocked as I was?

Thanks for your help!

Wow! I was going to offer the idea of calling WDW merchandising and then saw it was already done. So I read your last post anyway. That is just horrible! Something like that would upset me too. I think that deserves a call to WDW to voice a complaint. They need to know so the CM is not allowed to do that to anyone else. Maybe he was having a bad day or maybe he is a problem employee that Disney needs to know about. Sorry you went through that!

I cannot believe what happened to you. If you got the guy's name, then I'd contact Disney to let them know what happenend. As Nala said, he could have been having an off day, but management do need to be aware of this issue. How horrible for you.
