Hello everyone! :)
I have a few ???s.


1.When does downtown disney open?

2.What opens first:world of disney or pin traders shop?

3.What time should I get there if i want 2 get the "really great scenes!" for little mermaid PODM :)
I need as many opinions as possible in that last one! :) PLMK thanks!
:hsd:
 
My info may not be up to date, but....

DtD you can line up super early, its finding parking that can be an issue... you should be fine for this PODM release. The DtD parking lots opens I think, around 7am. Since the pin trader store opens an hour before the park does, get there at 7am to get in line. WoD store opens at 9am. I am not going to this release, money troubles. Good luck!

In the park you likely know all the stores to hit. I heard that for Tangled some small stores had a few, like the small world shop. go figure. So check out everything after you go to the big stores.

I have the little mermaid train chaser for trade... would you consider a pre-trade for this LM PODM? Any others from my trades to sweeten the deal or make it more even? :hsd:
 
I am sorry psycho pixie I will not be able 2 get you one :( however I am interested in the Ariel train pin you mentioned... would you consider selling it or if there is anything on my trade list trading it? PLMK thank!


BUMPING THIS... NEED ANSWERS! :)
 
I have only been to the Nemo one at DLR and what I know is:
Hotels:
Paradise Pier has some in its shop but very little so they go fast! (I was there at 7:30 and they were sold out! So I guess you have to stay there to get it when the store opens)
Disney Grand Californian- HAS NONE (so frustrated but they don't get any)
DLR Hotel has the same situation at Paradise Pier as well

Next is DTD:
I lined up at the DTD store and there was already a 20ish people line for PODM Nemo (which I don't think was very popular) and the line STILL took 1 hr because people take a loooooong time selecting scenes. So if you DO choose DTD and you are not the 1st ish one, its tough to head over to the other places I think for good pick. (I got there at 8 and then got to see the pins at 9 and I think I was 20th in line)
WOD opens later so you should be fine there.

In the parks:
the stores that definitely have them are Little Green Men, Fronteirland Pin store (I heard that this store is really nice about this release). Unfortunately, LGM only lets each person see 4 scenes while the Frontierland lets you see as many as you want. They even organize it by scene :D. Also, the ToonTown stores sells it and if it opens later, you "could" get best pick there too.

Disney California Adventure has them at the Fly n' Buy too.
But if you are just one person, its hard to hit all of these places I think if you want good pick. (but I have only been to one once so maybe other DPF members have better/ more accurate advice)

That is all I know so good luck! I would love to see your scenes when you get them :) Hope that helped.
 
DCA might not be the best place to go. Fly n'Buy has been getting very, very few and it is the only store in DCA that gets them. The line to get into DCA from the front gates will be crazy once Cars opens. People staying at the hotels can use the side entrance which might be a little closer to Fly n'Buy.
