How about a small 3oz bottle of water from Splash Mountain? I hear it's pretty good...sure as your born.

And who knows what kind of bacteria has been "born" in that water...ewwwwwwwwwwww.....

Well, there is at least a little mousekespit in it ~ that I saw with my very own eyes

You're not making it any better with that LOL....

Yes, they had a presentation on the beads during Magic and Merriment. I couldn't believe how expensive they were; a bracelet was close to $20!

Ah-ha! I knew I had read it somewhere! But was there also something about the beads being made in Africa or some other impoverished nation?

Yes, they are made in (I think) Uganda.

Found it!
The company is called "Bead for Life."

They are very pretty, but I was really shocked by the prices.

Thanks for the links! I wish I would have stopped and looked at them while we were at EPCOT
The prices online don't seem too bad, are they higher at Disney? Silly question I'm sure!

I actually just picked up a D23 Spring 2011 magazine at my local Boarders for 40% off the cover price. After taking a quick glimpse at the magazine I have seriously debated joining up for the yearly subscription.

So the magazine is really available at retailers. I wondered since I had read about it being available, but had never looked. 40% off sounds like it would be a little more reasonable...so do you think it is worth the subscription or not?

I was actually surprised to see it at a retail location other than the Disney Store. I honestly have not yet read it but will over the next week or so when I have actual free time on my hands. The 40% was really reasonable but is due to a boarders going out of business sale.

A college student with free time on his hands? Isn't that about as real as the Tooth Fairy?

Sounds like your college professors aren't keeping you busy enough...

Spring break next week and no exam until the Thursday I get back. There is still a lot of work, but it is nothing compared to what I've been doing the past three-four weeks.

LOL, Moonpet! I got the exact same response except they included the winter mag because I did not get it either.

I'll race you! We'll see which one of us gets our magazines first!

Moonpet: I got my missing mags in the mail yesterday. The watch that was promised to be mailed with it wasn't there - instead I got some cheap D23 lenticular luggage tag of Chip and Dale.

WHAT!!!!

NOT FAIR!!!!

There was nothing in my mailbox.

The luggage tag is the "member gift," the watch is supposed to be for people who renewed.

[mindflipper]

When did you contact D23/Disney Store? I contacted them on 2/24, they responded back on 2/25, and received my missing mags on 3/7.

[MoonPet]

I contacted them on 2/24, they replied on 2/28. We'll see if I get my magazine in 3 days.

Did you get a watch earlier with no magazine?

[mindflipper]

Yep, got the watch in the magazine box with no magazine LOL. The DS e-mail did mention the watch, but maybe that was in error and meant the luggage tag. Not that I wanted a second watch anyway, as I don't know what to do with the watch I got.

Oh, I was just curious if they sent the watchin advance of the magazine. Mine came together. I know what you mean. I looked at the watch, decided it was nice, and put it back in the box

[mindflipper]

It's just not a watch I would want to wear.
