CALL UPS directly and demand them to find the driver/deliverer of your package and ask them where he dropped it off. And ask them to get that package for you or if there is a way for you to retrieve it. And if they do retrieve your package, demand that you get your package redelivered by the end of today or first thing in the morning.

I REALLY HOPE THINGS WORK OUT FOR YOU.
 


Aurora is my favorite Disney princess, and I've really been going back and forth on whether to try and get this doll or not. I want to love it, but I'm not too happy with what they've done with her, and I agree that the updo is not very flattering at all. They probably wanted to try something different since several of the other princesses have the long flowing hair. To me, from what I can see, it's all quite bland. Hopefully she looks better up close and in hand. I so wish there was something special about this doll that said WOW. Aurora seems to get the short end of the stick, so to speak, much of the time.

Good luck in getting the dolls that you want and making the changes you want with Aurora! In my case, if I get her, I'd have to keep her as is since I wouldn't want to take her out of the box. Having no talent in this area, I'm afraid that I would completely destroy her if I tried to tinker.

Rose, I can't find that announcement on the Disney Store facebook page either. However, there is an announcement, posted a couple of days ago, on the UK Disney Store site that confirms the date but not the time of the the release:

Dear Disney Store Guests:
As you may be aware, our new limited edition Disney Princess Designer Doll Collection has generated a good deal of excitement. While many of you love the new dolls, you have also expressed frustration in securing your favourite Princess, and brought to our attention ways we could make the process fair for all Guests. We want you to know that we read your comments on Facebook, saw your Tweets, and our Cast Members have told us what they heard from our Guests who visited our Stores.

Quantities of these dolls are very limited, and we realize that not everyone will be able to get the doll of their choice even with a new process in place. Our aim is to increase the chances of as many of our Guests as possible to obtain the dolls that they are seeking. Therefore we have updated our release plans as follows:
  • We will now release for purchase all 5 remaining Disney Princess Designer Dolls: Tiana, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Pocahontas on one date in Stores on 17/10/11.
  • We will then have a Disneystore.co.uk release of all 5 Disney Princess Designer Dolls: Tiana, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and Pocahontas, the following day on 18/10/11, at a time to be determined – and will be communicated at a later date.
  • We will be limiting the purchase to one doll per Princess, per Purchasing Guest. This limit applies both in-store and at Disneystore.co.uk.
  • We will implement a line queue and ticketing procedure (if necessary) in Stores on the release date and the dolls will be sold at store opening.
We thank you for your continued support and loyalty. We hope you have a Magical day.

Note: The following stores will be participating in the distribution of dolls on 17/10/11: Westfield, London; Oxford Street, London; Dublin, Ireland.

I just found part of the quote that Rose put up on the Disney Store Facebook page. The post from Disney with the actual time seems to have disappeared!?!

So people in the UK and Europe will get to order the dolls 8 hours before we do in the US and Canada! Good luck, Rose!

I've been out of town on business all week and won't be back home for a few more days - the package was suppose to be delivered to my work address ... the delivery confirmation email I got from UPS had a street address for an address that, according to google maps, does not exist. The confirmation said that the package was left at the front door last Tuesday afternoon and the driver did not get a signature. There is a soccer field where the delivery address should be.

I called Disney and they confirmed that someone on their end mixed up my home (street #) and work addresses (street name and city). The messed up address was also a non existant address, so it looks like the UPS driver just picked the next street over and put the big box at someones front door. Disney escalated the problem up the chain 2 levels and are trying to work something out - they did ask for the address that was on the UPS confirmation email.

Funny thing with the emails, I got a 2nd delivery confirmation for a completely different person living in a city that is 20 miles away from me (most like someone else that purchased a pre-sell at the Expo)....so sad...

Thanks to all for your kind words and suggestions. Hopefully Disney can get everything resolved since it was their original mistake that started everything. I really can't do anything directly with UPS because the only thing on that package address label that was correct was my name.
 

I would press them HARD tomorrow and tell them they need to at least reserve the next five dolls (that is if you still want them without the first five) for you before they are released in case they can't recover your package.
 
I know right i was totally freaked out and actually screamed out loud lol

Ohh so what time are the UK getting the dolls??

The UK Disney Store site will have it online at 9:00 AM UK time (British Summer Time = UTC+1 = PDT+8) so that is 1:00 AM Pacific Time, or 4:00 AM Eastern Time in the US. Of course, since the UK site does NOT ship to the US or Canada, that does us in North America no good to try to order it from the UK prior to it being online in the US Disney Store site.

Here are different pages of a useful website to translate between different time zones around the world:

Current Time around the world, or Time Zone Converter, or Event Time Announcer.

Using the last webpage, I've made a custom webpage for the UK Disney Store Release Time for cities in Europe, and cities throughout the World.
