Disneyland Visit 2017-02-26 - World of Disney - Collectibles - Princess Notecard Sets - Beauty and the Beast - Back Cover
World of Disney. Collectibles Dept. Walt Disney Archives Collection Princess Note Cards by Enesco, $30. Beauty and the Beast.
I visited Disneyland this morning. It was in the 50s, cloudy with occasional light rain. My main goal was to get some of the enchanted rose sippers that debuted last Friday. I got there at about 8:30 am and went to Maurice's Treats in Fantasy Faire. There was already a line formed, waiting for the outdoor food cart to open at 10 am. I decided not to wait there, but went around to the newly opened Red Rose Taverne (formerly the Village Haus restaurant), and there was a pretty long line waiting for it to open at 11 am. I decided to come back later to try to get the sipper.
I decided to look for new pin releases in the nearby Westward Ho Trading Post pin shop in Frontierland. They had the Mickey Mouse Pin Trading Tales LE 2000 pin, the Tiki Room Doorways to Disney LE 4000 pin and the Jafar Essence of Evil LE 3000 pin, all of which were released last Thursday February 23. They also a many newly released Disney Princess Glitter pins (OE, $8.99). They included Snow White, Aurora, Ariel (human and mermaid forms), Belle, Jasmine, Rapunzel. Cinderella was already released a few weeks ago, and Merida late last year. Unfortunately, I found out when I got home, that I forgot to get the new Ariel pins :( , but I did get the others.
Then I went on my favorite ride, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Some of the high value targets were out of commission, so I got a relatively low score, just below 700,000. I was surprised that I got on the top 10 list anyway #3. In fact was the Top Space Ranger of the day, at #3, since #1 and #2 scores were by anonymous riders.
I went back to the line at Maurice's Treats, which had wrapped almost completely around to the entrance to Fantasy Faire. Shortly afterwards, a Cast Member told us that the enchanted rose sippers were completely sold out resort wide. They would not be restocked today, and they didn't know when they would get another shipment. I was disappointed that I didn't get a sipper for myself and some of my collector friends, but hopefully they will restock them soon, and it won't be such a hassle getting them next time.
Then I visited World of Disney in Downtown Disney. I found a newly released Beauty and the Beast notecard set by Walt Disney Archives and Enesco ($30). It has a lovely cover with the stained glass image of the enchanted rose. Inside there are 20 notecards, 2 each of 10 designs. I will post detailed photos of the set later. There was also a new 2 piece Beauty and the Beast medium figure set ($95). It had the Beast in winter garb with butterflies on him, and a separate piece of Belle in her village outfit sitting on the ground with a book. It is nice but not outstanding, so I passed on it for now.
