    Just went through my copy (3-4 weeks old) and could not find any
    hat that fits that description. A variety of hats are shown here
    and there but mostly Disneyworld hats, MGM hats, etc. Found a page
    with"golf merchandise" showing Mickey (w/ golf attire) on shirts,
    golf bag, putter, golf balls, towels, etc ..... but no hat with
    this. 
    
    The phone number for ordering is (407) 824-4718. Maybe give 'em
    a call and ask if it's still available and not listed.
    
    Know what ya mean about misplacing the catalog, or maybe someone
    else here "borrowed it for a while" till I finally found mine !

    Mark,
    
    Thanks for the number, I'll  give them a call when I get the chance.  I
    had originally purchased it at WDW,  but  remember  seeing some hats in
    the catalogs I get from time to  time, but I guess the wife got zealous
    in her early spring cleaning last week getting ready for Easter ;^(.
    
    Claude

    I believe WDW will sell by mail just about anything they sell while
    your there.  The information number at WDW is 407-824-4321.  I'm
    sure they could direct you to the Pro Shop.

     
    Where can I buy a Merchandise catalog?
    
    Arlene

    I picked mine for free at the Disney store in the Burlington Mall.
    See 16.21 for a complete list of stores.
    
    There seems to be more than one catalog.  The merchandise/store
    folks have one, and there is, (or was), a different one put out
    by WDW.  I'll see if I can dig out some phone numbers, and post
    them here.

    Is the merchandise/store catalog bigger than the one from Disney?
    I have a Disney catalog but would like a store catalog if they are
    not the same.  I do not live anywhere near a disney store but I
    would be willing to pay to have someone mail me one.  If anyone
    is interested please send mail to Raven1::murphy .
    
    
    Thanks

    Shirley,
    
    I don't remember if it's bigger (haven't received the Disney Mail Order
    catalog for about a year now, and seemed  to  have  lost  it), but even
    though  they  share some merchandise, they is some unique  designs  etc
    available  through the stores only and visa versa for the  Mail  Order.
    And  there  was also a WDW mail order catalog available from  WDW  that
    also  has  some uniqui items in it as well (you get this  catalog  upon
    arrival  at the WDW resort as opart of the package if memory serves  me
    right)
    
    Claude

    Disney runs (at least) two different mail order operations. One is run
    by the Theme Park "division", the other by the merchandise "division".
    Each seems to have a different selection of stuff.

    I was in the Christmas Tree Shop, otherwise known as Playtime Pools in
    the summer, and they have a whole room full of Disney pharaphenial that
    is on sale for 50% off.  Lots of T-shirts, sweatshirts, stuffed
    animals, etc.  Apparently their Disney room just didn't have the return
    that they though it would.
    
    The shop is located on Boynton Street in Manchester, NH.
    
    You would take 101 West exit from the turnpike, to the 101W and 
    114 Junction.  Turn right and you are immediately on Boynton Street.
    
    The shop is no more than a half mile down on the right.
    
    Hope this helps someone.

This is a spinoff from notes 31.89 and 31.91.

Last time I was down at WDW, I looked high and low for a Mickey waffle maker.
No luck.  My patience finally wore out, and I got an ordinary one on sale
around the holidays.

In the last few weeks, the stores have been flooded with a Micky waffle maker.
Lechmere has had them on sale for a couple of weeks, Jordan Marsh has had them
on sale, and the kitchen store at the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua has had them.
At $49.99 sale price, they're expensive, but, well, you know....

Too bad they didn't have them out in time for the holidays.  I don't think
I can justify a second waffle maker now.

   Gary

    SPAGS has Mickey Waffle makers for $44.95.
    
    Marcie

The second number  (407) 824-4718 is "No longer in service".  Any idea 
what the new one is - if indeed there is one...

Phil

    This note has gotten a bit confusing. Are there two catalogs and if so
    what are they and where can they be found? If anyone has any leads
    please post them here.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Mike

    Hi Mike - I called this 800 number the other day and was referred to
    the 800-237-5751 (see note 179.5).  When you call this number they'd be
    more than happy to put you on their mailing list and will send you out
    their back to school catalog.  I should get mine this week.  The 
    merchandising catalog does not show any pictures of what they've got
    and I couldn't get too much info out of the woman as to exactly what
    the merchandising catalog was for.
    
    Julie
     

    Julie,
    
    Is this the Disney Store Catalog or the WDW catalog?
    
    Mike

    Mike, they do carry some of the same stuff as the Disney store but
    they are a separate entity of WDW.

    Could someone point me to the note that has the name of a store
    off disney property that has discontinued items and such?
    
    A DEC friend just called me from home and asked...she's leaving in
    the morning and needed directions to this store.  Says she saw it
    in this file, but not sure which note....I did some searches by
    keywords to no avail.
    
    Thanks

    Do you mean the Character Shop at the BELZ Mall? This Mall is at the
    very end of International Drive. I'm gonna say West but am not sure.
    Just follow I-Drive to the very end and you'll see a huge mall on the
    left. The Character Shop is in Building II if I'm not mistaken.
    
    You can get good bargains here but keep in mind that floor space is
    limited so the variety may be far from what you would see in an on the
    property store.
    
    Mike

    We also visited the Character Shop (Warehouse?) this vacation. As 
    Mike mentioned, don't expect to find every piece of Disney gear at 
    vastly reduced prices. What they do have in is cheap - 50% or less 
    than on-site, but you tend to find the racks full of one size 
    only, and less popular sizes at that. Having said that, what they 
    stock is the genuine, high quality Disney product and if you find 
    something that fits, you do get a bargain.
    
    Mike B. (Another Co-Mod and Sloooow Report Writer!)

    Form several thousand miles away the directions seem a little
    vague......
    
    Could someone say whether there is a road called I-Drive (seems a funny
    name for an Interstate!). I assume this is in Orlando, but am I in the
    right State? Or should I assume it's within WDW?

    How to  get  to I-DRIVE (International Drive, mentioned countless times
    in here in both formats)
    
    From WDW take Interstate 4  North to the Sand Lake Road Exit (exit 29),
    take  a  right  off  the  exit  (taking a left will bring you  to  back
    entrance  to  Universal Studios which will be on the right hand side of
    Sand  Lake),  then  take  imediate  left  onto International Drive  and
    welcome to the land of Hotels/Motels, XXXX WORLD gifts shops, and every
    restaurant  imaginable  ;^) (taking a right on I-Drive gets you to  the
    least  populace  area  and Sea-World.  The Character shop is located in
    the Beltz  Mall  on  the left hand side as you come to the intersection
    with Kirkman Rd  (a right on Kirkman take you to Martin Marietta, and a
    left to Universal Studios).
    
        or if you don't wish to experience I-Drive
    
    From WDW take I-4  North to exit 30, take a right on Kirkman RD, make a
    left onto I-Drive and the Beltz mall will be on your right hand side.

    Claude

    If you're driving along International Drive and the tilted Ripley's
    House is on your right as you approavh the intersection of Sand Lake
    Road then you are heading in the right direction. Go through that
    interxection and keep going until you approach the Mall on your left.
    
    The three buildings are connected so don't worry about having to enter
    building 2.
    
    Mike

     Don't miss the annexe to Belz on the left. In particular it 
     contains a very good toy shop and a Van Heusen seconds shop.
     
     Robin from Warrington

    You want BELTZ MALL 2.
    
    LEt me second earlier replies.... Merchandise does change. We went on
    a tuesday and thursday of the same week and saw different "stuff"
    on the second stop. Lots of goods in size SMALL. Also watch for
    seconds. Smudged prints or a little extra silkscreen paint outside
    of where it belongs.
    Inspect your purchases before paying.
    
    
    Pasco
    

    Can someone out there tell me if there ever was or is a Mickey Mouse
    Cookie Jar?  And if there is such a thing where would I purchase it?
    
    The person looking for it was in WDW recently and didn't see one there
    and she has also been to th (I believe) Burlington Mall Disney Store.
    Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
    
    Joyce
    
    

    Joyce,
    
    I believe I have seen one at Disneyland recently (in the Emporium),
    which would imply that you would be able to mail-order it from WDW as
    well.  I don't have the phone number for mail order on me, but it
    should be elsewhere in the conference.

    As mentioned in a follow-up note, the phone number listed in 55.8 for
    mailorder 'in-park' merchandise is no longer valid. The woman to whom the
    old number was reassigned was nice enough to provide the new number,
    and asked that people NOT call the old number any more. (She's not 
    affiliated with Disney, and still gets swamped with calls.)
    
    The new phone number is: 407-363-6200, available M-F, 8:30-4:30 EST.

I am wondering if anyone has the number for the Mighty Ducks catalog or
their merchandise store?   Or if anyone knows where I might mail order a
specific cap?

My son's most favorite hat was stolen at Cub Scout camp and I am trying 
desperately to replace it.  The hat is a Mighty Ducks cap that I bought at
the Disney Store back in March.  The cap is white with goalie mask markings
and a teal blue bill.  It has the Mighty Ducks insignia on it and I think
they called it a goalie mask cap.  It is made just like any other baseball
cap, but has the goalie mask markings.  

I went to our Disney Store and they told me they were out of them and wouldn't
be getting anymore.  They were very helpful and gave me the Disney catalog
number.  I called there but they couldn't find one in their catalog (they
weren't so helpful).  The person at the Disney store also mentioned a Mighty
Ducks catalog that was out a few months ago, but they didn't know the phone
number, just that it was different than that of the general Disney catalog.

If anyone has seen this particular cap and could give me the store's phone
number, I would be forever grateful.  Or if you know the number to call for
Mighty Ducks merchandise, I would certainly appreciate it!  My son really
loved this hat and I would very much like to replace it.

Thank you,

Joey Hanlon

    Joe,
    
    Call down to Orlando and try to get connected with either the Centorium
    at Epcot or Team Mickey (I think that's the name) at the Village
    Marketplace. I'm sure you can order from either of these two stores.
    
    Mike

    Also try the Disneyland Hotel in California - they can connect 
    you to the number for the sports shop there (I think it's also 
    called Team Mickey). Discribe what your looking for and the type 
    of shop (it is strictly devoted to sportswear and sport team gear).
    
    I was there in March, and they had all sorts of Mighty Ducks hats,
    shirts, sweats, jackets, keyrings...hopefully they'll have the 
    hat you're looking for.
    
    Todd///

Thanks so much for your suggestions!  I apologize for not replying sooner,
but I don't get much opportunity to get into the notes file!  I just got off
the phone and a hat is on the way for my son!  I called the places suggested
here and was referred to the Disney Merchandise number (1-800-362-4533).  It
took some time, but the grandmotherly lady on the phone was able to track it
down (all while I was listening to the soundtrack from The Lion King :-).

Thanks to you all my son is going to be very happy!  

Joey.

The Disney Store at the mall gave me the number for
WDW Guest Service Mail Order (800-272-6201). Choice #4 gets you to
ordering - except that it's always busy (3 weeks before Christmas
so I guess I shouldn't be surprised). Anyway, I was trying to find out
if one could order the much-raved-about bathrobes that are available
in the Grand Floridian gift shop. My dialing fingers are getting tired...
Can they be mail ordered? Guess at its cost? 

						Trace

    Trace, 
    
    You could try calling the Grand Floridian and ask to be connected to 
    the shop that sells the robes. No guarantees, but it might be faster 
    and tell you if you really want to spend that much....
    
    Linda

    
    
      Trace,
    
    
      If I recall, they were $100.  We stayed at the Floridian last year
    and all the guests get to use them.  Comes in handy by the pool.
    
    
    -Dean 

Agagagagaga...$144.95 plus like $10 for UPS shipping to the frozen north
country. And another $7 for a monogram if you choose one. Hint: when calling
the Merchandise 800# - while they claim to be open for business at 8:30 5
days a week, their weekly status meeting is first thing Friday morning.
Don't know when it's over but a call before like 9:00 doesn't get through.

So did I buy it? Well, Deb wants to stay in the GF for our 10th wedding
aniversary in '98, so it seemed like a good way to start getting used to
the prices :-).

						Trace

    Dial 1-800-272-6201 to have a special WDW Merchandise catalogue sent 
    to your home.
    
    Mike

    Hopefully, this is the right place to enter this note.
    
    Do many of you order the Disney cartoon movies through the stores or
    from the catalog?  We've been doing it awhile, mainly to receive the
    lithographs.  Usually they offer another gift with purchase, either a
    watch or 5 Disney Dollars.  We have been selecting the Disney Dollars.
    Interesting enough, we ordered Pocahontis through the store at Pheasant
    Lane Mall in NH, usually we order through the catalog, and found out
    they done honor the catalog dollars, seems they are different
    divisions.  Guess we'll have to take turns in the future, so we can
    take advantage of the $5 off.
    

    I've been thinking about ordering newly released videos through QVC.
    If they are less than the store price and arrive earlier than the store
    release than that's the way to go.
    
    Mike

    help!
    
    this past november, we were at disney world, and my boyfriend bought me
    a musical pooh from a store on main street for my birthday.  you push 
    his left-hand paw, and the pooh song plays.  well, this weekend, i
    discovered that i doesn't work anymore!  it sounds soooooo sick.  and
    as far as i can tell, there is no way to get in at the musical device
    without tearing him apart.  and i haven't seen anything like him in
    any of the off-site disney stores.  
    
    does anyone know how i can find out if he is fixable or even replacable
    thru wdw????
    
    
    -raquel

    
    Wow - I've had that same Pooh for ~10 years and he still plays.
    Maybe yours is defective?  or saw an awful lot of use 8^)
    I got mine at Sears back when they licensed Pooh so that
    won't help you..
    
    Carol

    Raquel
    
    I think that if you call WDW direct they may be able to help you. I
    beleive the number is 407-824-4321.  I have found that after I've been
    to the park and opted not to purchase something, that even up to a year
    later, I've been able to describe it, about where I saw it and they
    have been pretty successful at finding things and shipping them to me. 
    If they can't find a replacement, they may be able to help you get it
    repaired.  It's worth a try!
    
    Meg

    
    well, i called the 800# that someone gave me, and the woman told me i
    was basically out of luck as far as getting it replaced or fixed.  she
    told me that they don't last forever and i could buy another one.  i
    told her i didn't expect it to last forever, but i did expect it to
    last more than 8 months, and they don't do 'partial credit' for
    purchases (i was hoping i could perhaps send them the defective one and
    get some money off of a new one) she said i could bring it someplace to 
    get it repaired, but wasn't very helpful as to *where* i could bring it. 
    and there isn't a "musical toys-repaired" in the yellow pages...
    
    i guess i am just going to have to hum the tune to myself.
    
    -raquel
    
    

    Raquel,
    
    Since you seem to be out of luck getting your Pooh bear fixed or
    replaced, try fixing it yourself. It sounds like it just needs a new
    battery. Just open a seam near the music box and see what type battery
    it needs. Most likely it's a button type battery. Replace the
    battery, sew him up and voila, he's cured. I do the same thing for my
    daughter's stuffed musical toys. 
    
    Mark K.

    
    >>>Replace the battery, sew him up and voila, he's cured.
    
    
    you are funny!!  i can sew a seem on the INSIDE, but on the outside??
    surely you jest???  %^> %^>
    
    
    -raquel
    

    velcro or super-glue?

    "Whatever It Takes" ;^)

    Sew him up and then put clothes on him.
    
    Mike

    
    super glue....now *there's* an idea!  lord knows i have plenty of that
    floating around.
    
    >>then put clothes on him.
    
    he already has clothes on!!!  wouldn't want a nekkid pooh running
    rampid!

    	For those interested the shops throughout the park (TMK, SV)
    already have commemorative 25th anniversary items in stock.

    		License plate: $4.50 *
    		Magnet: $4.95 *

    		Cups, mugs, hats, etc, etc...
    		Christmas ornament: $6.50 *

When we were there last month there was a guy in the Disneyana Shop at
the MK buying hundreds of dollars worth of 25th anniv stuff. 
He even offered to buy my son's LED hat. I guess he was a
collector.

	RE: 25th Anniversary Stuff

	Just got back from DW, but didn't have time to do all the shopping 
I'd wanted to.  Is there any way to buy 25th stuff (shirt etc.) via 
Catalogue, Internet??  Any ideas???

Thanks!

related to "Aileen" who just asked the same thing in radp? :-)

the answer that popped up there was:

 WDW Mail Order  800-272-6201
 Open Monday thru Friday 8:30 - 4:30 (eastern).  If an
