Well, I don't know what time we'll be leaving the park, but it'll definitely be after 7pm, and then we're going to our hotel room. Our normal Hallmark is by home, anyway, so that wouldn't work. I think ornament premiere is always around this same time, but with us doing the weekend event stuff this year, DL's birthday definitely wins out over ornament premiere for us. /cs

Originally Posted By KarenW2 Hi dlkozy, The "Tinkerbelle in the cage" is the Tinker Bell in a lantern that was one of my purchases! It's really nice, tho not an orn (I thought it was an orn & hadn't read the dimensions given, so I was surprised!). It's 9.5 inches high, something to put out on display, like on a table or something. It has lights, she sparkles, spins and there's music when you push a button! The Tinker Bell orn on a block is darling as well! It looks similar to the Disney Classics piece that I missed getting, so I had to get it. "Best Night of the Week" is a great orn, with M&M sitting in front of a TV, watching the WWoD. When you push the button on the side of the TV, you hear music, firework sounds and there are firework lights exploding on the TV screen! The mini orns I got are cute too - "The Royal Princesses" and "Holiday Headliner" (Mickey head covered with crystals) will make cute earrings and/or pendants! I'm doing a Disney/Pop Icon tree (I already do a separate Mary Engelbreit tree and a separate everything else tree) this year and these will make great additions to the orns I already have in my collection from years past, along with the M&M tree skirt I bought from the after-Christmas sale on Disney Direct last year.

The ornaments were already for sale and we knew we wouldn't be there for ornament release weekend, so we bought everything then, but the district manager made some special arrangements for us, so that was nice. I wasn't going to buy Tink in a lantern, but when I saw it, it was just too cool. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to keep it or give it to a friend...or give it to a friend and buy myself another one... /cs

There was a man there trading pins and had no idea what Laughing Place was! Can you believe that?! Loved the walk up window-very cute neon sign.
