Most of the Disney Stores aren't around anymore, across the nation. I have access to two very large malls (which I avoid--I don't care for malls), but I can tell you that both of those malls have been missing their Disney Stores for quite a few years now. Too bad--I actually would go to the mall, just for that store to poke around. Now, there's nothing at all that I like at the malls.
I like Panda Express, that is it. Our mall cater's to much younger people....

I had to send out about two dozen emails to managers yesterday because they hadn't filled out a document correctly, and I asked them to please fix it and some were, shall we say, less cooperative than others. Some were complaining, and I'm like, "You're killing the messenger here! I have no control over any of this. I'm just basically performing inventory."

One manager was starting to complain about what a headache this whole process has been, and I said, nicely, "I've been through over 100 of these files; believe me, I know.". She didn't say another word.
Good for you! Takes guts to speak up! Proud of you, girl.

Ugh! Disney's website having tech issues. It can't pull up any of my reservations. App not working either. Darn those IT guys. No offense @Cesar R M . Maybe they need you working for them?;) By the way, speaking of computers, ds13 repaired one of our laptops. It was running so slow to the point of not running at all.:banghead: He learned how to have it go through its systems and check for bugs. Learned the hard drive was no good. So for $54 ordered a new hard drive. He took apart the computer and installed it himself, but them realized we needed all the software installed. The computer didn't come with any recovery discs so I had to order from HP. No big deal. Under $50 for that. He installed it all and lo and behold he saved us loads of cash! Yes, we can afford to go to Disney now! He was also smart enough to save all his files from his programs that were on the computer prior to removing the hard drive so more kudos to him. Yes, I am very proud of my lone boy.:happy:
I would be too. Great for him, and you!

I am so surprised about the scooters that nobody seems to have experienced in PE classes. Even my kids initially had these.

Dolls. I hated dolls. I was a Tomboy. My Mom was a depression era child. She always longed for dolls but never had any. It mostly skipped me and my Sis for whatever reason, it wasn't as if if my folks could not afford these for my Sis and me though my Sis did have an odd large collection of musical china spinning wind up dolls. (not her choice but bought for her by relatives and a collection was born and grew)

But my Mom and my daughter. Oy. From the time she was born for about 5 years my Mom bought for any occasion she could think of the expensive china dolls, the ones my Mom wanted as a child type. They sat on a raised shelf in my DD for many years. My DD had zero attachment to these and actually was disappointed in the gifts over the years. My Mom was living her childhood dreams through my DD. But my DD had a love of the American Girl Dolls. She LOVED them. She has likely 18 or so. She has their clothes, books, horses, desks, you name it she has it. Grandma.

My GodDaughter had the love of Cabbage Patch dolls in their height of love. She still has them. She left them with her Mom when she married. Now she lives with her husband and 2 kids back in Mom and Dads house (thanks to a extensive Disney DVC purchase before kids and pays for that vs a home for her family oy) but she and her two daughters have been reunited with her old Cabbage Patch Dolls. So there is a warped hope for your DD reuniting with her Cabbage Patch Dolls in the future. :rolleyes:
I wanted Teddy Bears. Still love the looks on their faces.

I remember the American Girl Dolls. They were very nice. Yayyy maybe there is hope for our Cabbage Patch Dolls yet. They still look like new. She never destroyed any of her toys. :)
