Limited Edition 17" Collector Dolls Information
The Frozen one will probably have Anna, Elsa, Kristoph, Hans, and Olaf. And then there will probably be a Sven to purchase separately like how there was a Maximus for Tangled. I'm so excited about the LE Anna doll. I am 99% sure there will be a surprise release Elsa, too, just because.
 
Also don't forget that it doesn't usually come out exactly at midnight and at times can take a while. I remember with some of the designer villains they generally popped up 15-20 minutes after mind night PDT time. So you may have to keep hitting refresh after midnight every couple of minutes to see if the site has updated.
 
Oh hey thanks for the info :3 Guys what time counts as Midnight at the US Disney Store? is it on UST -06.00 (Central Time US & Canada)??
 
The disneystore.com website usually updates every Monday at 12am (midnight) PDT. So that is UTC - 7 hours. That is why most release dates fall on a Monday.

So in London it will be 8am the next day (Tuesday)
In Australia it will be 5pm the next day (Tuesday)
On the east coast of the US it will be 3am the next day (Early Tuesday morning)

I forgot to mention as well that during the winter season when there is no daylight savings they revert to PST which means that it is UTC-8 hours. This year that is happening on the 3rd of Nov.

So you would just need to add an extra hour to the times mentioned above. (Unless your country applies daylight savings, which would only apply to anyone in the Southern Hemisphere where it will be Summer during the American winter season. If they do then there should be no change e.g Sydney Australia applies Daylight savings so it would still be 5pm there but in Brisbane Australia where they do not, it will become 6pm)

Hope this helps!

All the Princesses, including 17" Mother Gothel and Lady Tremaine (these two were online exclusives) have been released at the same time as the US (no pre-orders).

I'm curious to see what happens with Ariel's release for us Europeans... to see if there are any changes.

There have never been pre-orders for Europe before, so we'll just have to wait and see... I'm guessing the general release date is first week of October but this will be confirmed in the next few weeks.
 
Yes that is true that the UK disney store website has never had preorders for the LE dolls it they have for the designer line.

Also that does not stop one from shopping from the US store as I believe that the US store ships worldwide whereas the UK one whilst it says it ships internationally is only referring to the continental Europe.

I don't think the UK store is going to change their ways and release the LE as a preorder due to the limited stock but i am pretty sure they will still be getting the LE Ariel for sale, it will just appear on the site as for sale during the actual release date in October.

DSUK covers Europe except for France and Germany who have their own sites and people resident in those countries can only order through them, not UK.

Yes that is right but i believe that the three sites all share the same stock, just that they change the site to English, German or French depending on which one you go to. As I noticed that whenever I went to visit the site even though I typed in disneystore.co.uk it always asked me which one i wanted to go to UK, fr or gr.

Also I noticed that when stock was sold out in the uk store it would be the same for the other two. So I have a strong feeling that they all run off the same system but with different languages, but I could be wrong and it could all just be a coincidence. Also another member did point out earlier there is also a DisneyStore Japan too, obviously this store is all in Japanese and only ships to Japan though but I found it interesting that I had never heard of the store before then, even though I had googled it in the past.

But with all that said Disney store US ships worldwide regardless if your country already has an online disney store.

It is nice being on the same time zone as the Disney Store. I should be able to stalk the website no problem, yay!

I dunno, whilst it is a pain having to calculate it, when you get the hang of it is really easy. Also the great thing is because I live in Australia the dolls generally come out at a reasonable and appropriate time of 5pm (right after work) so I don't have to worry about staying up late, getting up early or having to do it during work hours. So there are some perks around being in a different time zone.

For preorders they only charge you when the item is ready to ship, i emailed disneystore as king the same question and that is the response they gave me. That being said I am not sure if they put a hold on your card for that amount (to ensure you have the sufficient funds). I dont believe they do but you should be aware that it is a possibility just in case.
 
hei guys! since i live in italy,what should i do?should i preorder the ariel doll on the US website or wait until she cames in the uk website?
 
You generally have to find them, sometimes they will appear at the bottom bar of popular picks or new releases. But if you search the little mermaid or ariel it should come up. But she will not have a page dedicated to the doll itself, it will just be like other releases wherein it will be included in the character/movie page list of items.
