Fires? o.o

The area near L.A. has been burning, as usual.

Ah, okay. xP

I just came back from three days of Disneyland! biggrin

How was it?

AWESOMELY CONSUMERISTIC! heart *cuddles her new Scary Teddy plushy*

I was most excited about the Nightmare Before Christmas alteration to my favorite ride, the Haunted Mansion. It was pretty good but I think I prefer the original version. I started buying pins and it's addicting. And they're cute. Also, I went to California Adventure the first time ever and thought the Ferris Wheel was terrifying while the roller coaster and Tower of Terror were simply fun. sweatdrop

According to my Disney-manic friend, any customer may go up to any employee and trade any pin of e's own (the customer) for any pin of the employee and the employee must make the trade. At least, for Disney World. If it is true, I'd imagine it would apply to the Disney Lands as well. Do you know if it is true?

Tower of Terror is disappointing, methinks. It would be more terrifying if you weren't in a closed room with a bunch of others.

Yes, it's true. That's how I got the Belle pin out of a set that I would've otherwise had no interest in. Belle's my favorite princess, but I think she's pretty unappreciated compared to the others. I was walking up to the counter with set in hand, and saw the pin I wanted right on the lanyard of the store employee. I traded away a pin that was more an impulse buy than an "I HAS TO HAVE" type thing, but I later regretted it because while talking to another employee who's been an avid trader since they came out, I was told people who only want some pins from a set use the rest as trade aways to get exclusive pins that you can only get through employee trades, totally unbuyable. That was kind of a "bawww" moment. But wutevs, still got my Belle pin. mrgreen

And Tower of Terror was not as bad as I thought it would be. I heard the Universal Studios in Florida version is better because you get to do a little tour of the hotel with the different rooms. In the L.A. version you do see one hallway but then it's just the up and down after that.

I'm glad it caused no grief for you.
often forget how massive the L.A. area is, that one side can be burning, and the other clearish.

One more day of my long 10 hour shifts and then ... I join the traditional workforce. It's like reconstruction methodology for my work schedule.

HOLY EXPENSIVE GOLD SHOP UPDATE

Can people actually afford this stuff?  

[kage no neko]

Yes, plenty of people can.
But note that the announcement said that prices change and items come and go..

Plenty?!? gonk
I feel so... destitute.

Altho, that does sorta address any complaints that there are no new high end gold items.  

[kage no neko]

I said plenty, not many. razz I certainly am nowhere near being able to afford anything. Even if I sold all my fancy items.

I think this is one of the main reasons behind the shop. It's also literally oldies buying this stuff. I could probably buy one item if I sold some stuff. And booty grabbed.  

[maenad nuri]

I'm an oldbie....I don't really want any of it.  

[Fiddlers Green]

Fair points.
I really do sorta like the Hat anyway.
And the airship.
