On Thursday my husband and I closed on buying a house! Never thought I’d be so excited to be broke after the down payment, closing costs, etc. but I own a house! It’s about 10 houses away from the rental we’ve been living in - down the street and around the corner - which is great. It’ll make...

Time for me to join the @summerskin party! I got 6 pins: cool 4 box set, a Mickey and Castle WDW 50th, and a Donald Tomorrowland! I also got a super cute Ducks stationery set. I do love me some Disney Ducks! Of course there was also lots of candy treats. Thanks so much!!

This year’s D23 March Madness style bracket vote off has been announced. I suspect most people remember last year’s surprise upset when Figment knocked out Maleficent in the Dragon semifinals then went on to beat some Dinosaur for the overall win. This year the theme - building off Figment’s...

My university is currently under a shelter in place order from a bomb threat and has been for about 2 hours now. I teach at an HBCU (Historically Black College or University) and HBCUs across the US have been getting these on almost a daily basis for weeks. My first class of the day has already...

Or as the BBC headline puts it “Disney elects woman as chairman for first time in 98-year history” https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59500682

A general public service announcement: avoid using the word co-op (or perhaps it is Santa?) with PayPal. A co-op was arranged here on the forum for the Letters to Santa pin set. I sent a payment in PayPal with a note that is was for the “Ducks Letter to Santa Co-Op” as I was getting the Donald...

An open trading thread for the Gingerbread Mystery Set. I’ll post a photo of the set below then follow up with my own haves and wants.

Something to look forward to in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade: a Disney Cruise Line float, to go along with the Funko Pop “The Child” balloon previously discussed...

Just saw a post at the Disney Parks Blog on pin trading. Starting 15 October Mickey head shaped pin boards and “mystery” pin trading where you trade blind for an unknown pin. If they’ll guarantee no scrappers and counterfeits, maybe...

I’m looking for the D23 membership kit lunchbox for this year. My mom is a member and gave me the pins but wants the lunchbox. I was planning to order one of the extra membership kits that popped up on ShopDisney, but I was waiting until I placed another order to get the free shipping and of...

Hey I’m more than a bit stressed today and could use some good vibes, perhaps for my husband, more than myself. He started having abdominal pain off and on this weekend that got pretty bad and constant rather than off and on last night. I’m a college professor with only Monday, Wednesday, and...

Several weeks ago I got a random ad on Facebook for a competition for a local business. On a whim I entered, not expecting to win. About a week later, I got an email that my dog, Gwen, had won a portrait session (value of $250) and coupon towards a portrait (value of $300) at the pet photography...

Howdy all- Today for the first time since mid March 2020 a Disney Cruise Line ship will be departing from Port Canaveral, Florida with paying customers. This means that this time next week I’ll be going on a Disney cruise again! My vacation plan is to fly to Orlando on Saturday (8/14) and stay...

An open thread for trading the Wishable pins, either series. **********

Howdy all! Before the great disappearing, I was running a game to give away one of each of the four Star Wars women pins recently released by Her Universe. Entries had closed and if I had been more on top of things, I would have even ran the randomizer before everything went down, but life got...
