I get daily notices of many things, one of which is new merchandise items in the gift shop. Today's notice gave me pause:
We have Mr. Potato Head sets from $9.95 and Honeymoon Accessories from $7.95.
So.... are we selling Honeymoon Accessories for Mr/Mrs Potato Head, or is Disney now marketing "Honeymoon Accessories"? While one can imagine (far too easily) what sort of "Accessories" might be made with a Disney theme, and I can imagine them selling well, is stocking such really going to support our "family-friendly" theme?
:mrpot: :mrspot:
Then again, that is how families are made.....
We Sell What?!?

Why shouldn't the magic continue after the guests have left the park? ;)
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

I hear he is quite the spud and has massive ap-peal. And you can buy spare parts in the event that any of them fail.

Well, I seem to recall some line about Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead wanting to have a few tatter-tots....
