This week at Downtown Disney, I give you...more dirt and less rubble. Yes, not too much different from last week, even the sunny day. No changes to the other PI clubs just up the walk (behind camera view). The usual dance music was playing and the winged bronze lady/human statue was out. She always draws a crowd when gracefully posing for pictures.
Pin traders has the limited edition Valentine's Day and St. Paddy's pins out, along with the 40th anni Vinylmations. Meanwhile at D-Street, what's this, both Jack Skillington and The Pumpkin King were in good supply. Glad to see that along with the special edition Vinylmation ice cube trays/figure pack. Also saw the 9 inch Beast from Beauty and the Beast. There was also what looked like a Pete's Dragon with tac tac toe across his chest, packaged with a a 3 inch Vinyl that's probably Pete.
Over at Art of Disney, Larry Dotson was on hand selling work and possibly autographing it. I can't be sure. There was also a new Vinylmation lanyard showing the many different figures. Fellow collectors, you have your targets. ;)
Pooh's Corner and Disney $10 are still dark and closed, as is the Lego store for it's expansion. The temp Lego store is still going strong near Earl of Sandwich. Too bad it has to listen to the constant beeping from the Tonka trunks over the toy store's entrance.
There had to be a dance team or cheerleading competition recently, since there were hoards of teenage girls. If you see matching sackpacks, jeans, and sandals in large numbers, take cover. They're easily spooked and will stampede. ;)
Myself and another lady got tickled at a group of women who let out a loud gasp at the site of candy apples in the window of the candy store on West Side. They ran excitedly over to the window as the lady and I passed. We just laughed. Well, what can you say? Disney does have this magical power to revert any grown adult back to 8 years old or a teenager...not that I'd know...(doop doop de doo.....)
If you're traveling to Orlando in the next few weeks, you might want to make plans for Mardi Gras over at Universal, MegaCon sci-fi convention in March, or Epcot's annual Flower Garden Festival, which is already being set up.
Cheers to you all and my thanks, as always, for reading. :)
