OK - so this is a rant - but I wanted to share my disappointment with Disney Merch. At the 60th Anniversary special event on May 22nd they added some of the 60th merch going on sale that weekend - hats, mugs, etc. Yes, in the park too, but you could get it here with your other art so its one purchase. Well, one of the items was Kevin Kidney and Tim O'Day's book - A Celebration of New Magic and Fond Memories of the DisneylandŽ Resort. Tim O'Day was there to sign them and when we asked if this had any 60th commemorative ties in it - the explanation the merch management (and Tim's "hint" during signing) that no, there was not any specific 60th content.
Well, today they announced a special signing with added 60th content - essentially duplicating what is done in the DVD world. I would gladly have bought another version with the new 60th content - BUT - the previous version has the personal message from TIm O'Day - and I did not necessarily want to have two copies in the house.
Frustrating... and why for other Park merch I have not gone out and picked up a lot of items - because I can tell there will be more and maybe even something similar but with a slight variation.
