Limited Edition Designer Disney Princess

Good luck to those trying to get some of the remaining princesses! Be sure to post pics if you succeed.

It's really nice to know there are people other than me who love a or all of the Disney princesses so much.

I have a confirmation email from Disney this morning saying I have both Aurora and Pocahontas, but I won't believe it til I have them in my hands from what I've been reading online about the online sales in the recent past. Aurora is my favorite princess, probably because she's the first Disney I really remember seeing in the theaters. (Yeah, I am that old!) And I just really liked the look of Pocahontas and find the real person to be an interesting character. She was also modeled on a local girl.

Oh! You are so lucky!! I tried from 12PM EST until 1:45 PM EST and Disneystore.com kept CRASHING and having 'we'll be back soon' screens! When I FINALLY was able to log in, all were sold out! I was so disappointed! I've been wanting Aurora (my favorite as well) since I found out about these! It was really horrible!! I've never had such a terrible time trying to buy something! I intended to buy all 5 left, but ended up with none of them!! :cries:

So then, I was going to buy Aurora on eBay but then I realized that I never liked her pink dress anyway and even if I got one, I was going to remake her in a purple (like in KH) version of the gown. So since I was going to make her dress, I might as well just recreate the entire doll instead and save all that money!

Anyway, kenaiqueen-san! Please do post photos of your beauties once you get them!!!!!

:hugs:

I will definitly post pics when/if they arrive! If you do decide to go the ebay route, hold off for a bit. I read on Facebook that the scalpers on ebay are not getting the $$ they thought they would and are lowering prices. You could indeed get one for a better price in the future.

I'm sorry to hear you guys have been having trouble getting the dolls. I just bought the cards with the art on them. Getting the dolls seemed too lofty a goal for me, and to be honest, I like the drawings better than the dolls.

Got my confirmation of shipping notice with a tracking number the other day and my two Princesses are now in our nearest big city, to be delivered on Monday by the end of the day.

Woo! Can't wait to see them!

My sister and I just finished our 'custom' Designer Aurora doll!!

I NEVER like Aurora in hot pink anyway (I try to change all my dolls to either purple or blue), so I suppose after all, I'm glad of the chance to make her as I like her best----in purples, just like the Kingdom Hearts version! Plus, I used the 25% discount coupon they gave to disappointed customers on the remaining 5 'Singing' Princess dolls I needed to complete my set of them! So it all worked out for the best! ^^

I am SUPER pleased with her turnout and last week, bought her a musical revolving base that plays 'Once Upon a Dream' from the 'Musical Majesty' doll on eBay. When it arrives, she'll be complete! YAY!

Anyway, here are her photos without the musical base. My sister is so amazing with outfits! I love this doll so much!!!! I'm actually glad now I wasn't able to get the official doll---I would've been too scared to change her outfit, though I really would've wanted to!! :laughs: Luckily, they used the same head molds as their playline dolls, so I just removed her original faceup, copied the designer version style faceup instead, and added the long, real eyelashes on her.

Hope you like her, too!!
