Mickey Bowl Tragedy :(

[maxtrexmom]

My 9 year old accidentally broke one of our Mickey bowls this morning. He felt really bad so I didn't make a big deal out of it, but I am pretty sad and hoping to replace it. We got these bowls on our first WDW trip with our kids back in 2009. Back then we just had our 2 boys, ages 5 and 2 1/2 at that time. We saw them at Mickey's Pantry in DTD and I wanted to get 1 for each of us. My husband went to pay for them and I took the boys outside to play. When my husband came out of the store he had 5 bowls instead of 4. I asked him if that was just in case we broke one, and he just smiled and said, "Actually, I was thinking it could maybe be for another baby." I was shocked because we had both agreed we were "done" and this was the first time he'd ever mentioned wanting another baby. So that was the start of a conversation about whether or not we should. I had never imagined having more than 2 kids but after a lot of thinking and praying I realized that deep down I knew our family was not yet complete and in Nov of 2010 we had our sweet baby girl! I try not to place too much sentimental value in things that are breakable, and honestly, with 3 kids using them as much as we do, it's a miracle it took 5 years to break one! :lol: Still, these are special to us and I would love to find a replacement for the broken one, if possible. I've been searching online with no luck so far. I thought I would ask here to see if maybe someone has an extra one to sell or maybe you guys could help me by keeping an eye out in case they ever have them at a Disney Store, outlet, thrift store or anywhere.
Here's what they look like:

Please let me know if you see one anywhere! Thanks

Pretty sure they're still sold at WDW - give the merchandise line a call and they can ship one to you

 

[mickeymousje]

Really hope you can find a new one

Awww. I hope you find a replacement given the meaning it holds for you. I did a few quick searches online but didn't come across anything. I will for sure let you know if I do!

I'm pretty sure I saw those bowls last time we were at Epcot at the big store there, mouse gears I believe. Maybe you could could give them a call and they could ship ? Hope you find it.

I called and they said they don't carry them anymore. They've been replaced by a new design that sounds cute, though. Guess I'll be watching eBay...

We're heading to WDW in June, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for the bowl (I love having a mission!!)...but hoping you find one or more before then!!

I am so sorry that one of your bowls broke. I'll try to keep an eye out for one for you. I'm always browsing eBay for random things, so I'll add it to my list of things to search for. I truly hope that a replacement bowl will show up soon.
