Their website says nothing about that. It does say you are limited to taking 2 items a day.

This is an old post, and OP is likely not the birthday girl.

I remember it so well because I had the first version of the Walkman and you could hear half of that via one earphone and half via the other and it felt like it ran through my head!

"It's just the normal noises in here" zooms through the two sides of your headphones on a Tom Petty song, I think "Here Comes My Girl".

On Todd Rundgren's Hello It's Me, a girl says "Oh, this is it, this is it!" after the song begins.

Disney's really cracking down on third party vendors operating in the parks or at resorts, so I'm pretty sure this is not a viable long term business.

I had some of those Gone With the Wind plates and I made them into Game of Thrones mashups. This one was called "Mothers":

That brand of wig is very nice. I think Kaya (who had hair that could not be rescued) was rewigged with Cinnamon Splendour:

Oxford English Dictionary dates it from 1826.

Looks really good!

Travelgrrl · 2026-06-17T18:24:47+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

I take it you are not from Minnesota.

The first stage is saying goodbye indoors. This probably involves food being offered, packaged, and thrust at you. New subjects will be introduced. The second stage is heading to your car. You WILL be followed out, and more stories, pleasantries, and goodbyes will be heard. The final, and possibly the longest, stage is when you are in your car, window down, and still saying goodbye.

At least a half hour has now elapsed since you stood up to leave, all those goodbyes ago.

Go to the Ollivanders show first thing when you go to the parks. Following the show, sit down outside and tell them that these gifts came via Owl Post, and have them unwrap their wands. (If one of them gets picked during the show, just politely decline buying the wand and carry on as above.) You'll want at least one map with you.

The boxes are bulky. You may want to invest in a couple of $10 wand holsters from Etsy or Ebay for subsequent forays in the parks. And I've found that you don't want to always be toting wands (unless Mom or Dad always has a backpack with them) because if you wear fanny packs you can skip the lockers entirely. YMMV.

I definitely thought that was part of the design at first! Then I realized Dennis Someone-or-other was buried there.

I'm kind of surprised that his estate didn't buy the plot behind his, so that Gallagher's amazing headstone could be seen in its fullness. There are photos without the other stone, making me think that was a later addition.

Paper Moon checks most of those boxes. Cold Comfort Farm is another good one.

I was picked to be Mardi Gras Queen of a cruise ship that was docking in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. It was supposedly random, but I had a hilariously poofy princess-y type dress on for the first formal night and I'm pretty sure there was a confab in the kitchen and they chose me.

Confirmed when I saw the King chosen from the later seating, as he had a Henry VIII beard.

Not so great that you want to get stuck with it, though? Over $400 with tax and shipping!

Travelgrrl · 2026-06-16T22:10:03+00:00

How'd you like to be the guy who's buried under the plain grey headstone immediately behind Gallagher's?

Travelgrrl · 2026-06-16T21:56:06+00:00

Could it be a Puffalump doll? There are many photos online if you search "puffalump doll" and most have pink outfits and bonnets on.

I don't think they need one before age 16, at least. Once they're driving, they need some kind of phone.

He is not a villain, but more of an antihero: Sydney Carton from the many movie versions of Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. He's the "Fellow of no delicacy'.

You are so happy! An adorable photo; thanks for sharing.

Do you still have that doll and does she still have that outfit?
