tikistitchIt's always Halloween at Casa de Tikistitch.
That is why we rejoiced to see the new line of Trick or Treat-themed merchandise at the Disney parks, which prominently features our favorite blue alien, fetchingly dressed as SATAN!
To obtain these two lovely ceramic items, the Stitch candy dish and cookie jar, Tikistitch Labs also performed a great experiment!!!!
Namely, we called Walt Disney World's direct line, and asked that they be shipped to us. As opposed to finding them on eBay, or from a shopping service like The Laughing Place, as has been our practice.
Our findings (soon to be written up in The Jounal of Applied Halloween Shopping) were as follows: personnel manning the phone lines are unfailingly polite, much up to the standards of The Magic Kingdom.
The computer system for the phone bank folks, to be quite technical about it, sucks, dooooood! If you'd like to call the parks to buy Stitchies, it's a good idea to know exactly what you want, be patient as the cast member searches the antiquated online catalog, and especially have a good book to read when the computer network completely freezes for unexplained periods of time.
But, we gots our Stitchies. Yay! And for prolly half the price of buying them on eBay.
Though, now to check our long distance bill....

Date: 2005-08-17 11:41 am (UTC)Disney Direct now has a hyper-expensive Enchanted Tiki Room Tree ceramic lamp/whatnot thingie that I've been drooling over. Maybe I'll tell my tiki-obsessive friend and let *him* buy it instead.
