Also, I know there are marie osmond dolls in Disney LAND, are they also available at WDW?

The assembler there usually lets the girl assist in putting part of it together- nice touch They are really nice, come in a nice storage box etc. If I remember right, the cost was about $120 or so.

Like you said, everything else is all Barbie, etc. Too bad. I would think that if the Marie Osmond dolls are there, they'd bein the gallery stores.
