LE Jasmine Doll Pre-order and Aladdin Tsum Tsum Release Day - Disney Store - 2015-08-04 - Behind the Counter
8:10 am. LE Jasmine doll on display behind the cash registers. Also bins full of Aladdin tsum tsums
I got to a local mall about 7:40 am, and went to the Disney Store to wait for it to open at 10 am. They had the display Jasmine doll and a promo placard on a shelf behind the counter, and bins full of Aladdin tsums on the floor behind the counter. There was already a man and his young daughter in line ahead of me. They were waiting for the Aladdin tsum tsums, and didn't know about the Jasmine doll. The next person in line was with a friend, and worked at Disneyland. He was also there for the tsums, and didn't know anything about the doll. But he was curious, and after talking to him about the LE doll line, he decided to get one for a "friend." LOL. Later a fellow collector that I knew joined the line, and we chatted for awhile. Then a regular at the LE doll releases and his family came and we also chatted. He was very surprised by how many people were there, but was relieved when he found out that almost all of them were for the tsum tsums. The line was getting very long. Security came around 9:30 and told us to stand up.
At about 9:45 a CM came out and told us the ground rules for the release. Then she gave out line cards for Jasmine. They had 20 dolls, and she gave out 16 cards to those waiting. Naturally, I was #1. Right after the opening ceremony, we formed two lines. One was strictly for tsum tsums (which was where the original line was at). The other, much shorter line was for the Jasmine dolls, and we could also order Aladdin tsum tsums at the same time. I got my doll, and the CM never asked me for the line card. This the first line card I've been allowed to keep. Afterwards I was allowed to take photos of the doll. But it was very cramped behind the registers, and I didn't want to get in the way, so I only took a couple of photos.
I then went to another local Disney Store, and was lucky enough to get another Jasmine, for a fellow collector. They had 16 dolls, and sold 8 of them before I got there. I also took some photos of the doll, using flash this time, as there were annoying shadows across Jasmine's face.
