Mickey Mouse Ears on Black Friday at Disney Store

[Nenny_Mouse]

I live in Buffalo NY and I was told by a Disney Store employee that the first 50 people through the door at the Disney Store at our local mall would get Mickey Mouse Ears. And that after a certain time (i think 10am but im not sure) that every person who purchases something would get Mickey Mouse Ears. Anyone else hear this????

Wow great sales at the Disney Store

[flutter]

I wish we had a Disney store around here.....and I wasn't working that day

[GaRain]

Hmmm, I usually avoid the malls on black friday, but I may have to make a trip to go to the Disney store. I did that a couple of years back when they had the special pins they released only on that day.
Hmmm, but should I be there at 5am or 10am?

[Nenny_Mouse]

i got mine ears, thought they gave me a hard time about it. we were there right at 10 am and they had given people in line (us included) a 20% coupon to use. so we went to use the coupon and i asked for the ears (it was 1015) and the guy said we couldnt use the coupon AND get the ears. that they were 2 DIFFERENT promotions. so i told him to keep the coupon and i wanted the ears. he hemmed and hawed (sp?) and snuck them in because he didnt want to start a "riot". he said people werent gonna get the ears until the coupons were gone. anyone else face this problem??

[nicks_ahoy]

I was at the mall and was gonna get them but there was a line that seemed endless I mean they said it was because of a fire hazzard but that line looked like it was going to have its own fire hazzard

[mini-V]

I noticed that it was only in the US stores. Darn! I fought my way through Harrods today. I think that ate up any of my "in the store shopping" for this holiday season. Anyone else get ears?

[Nenny_Mouse]

after all my frustration, my parents went in and asked for ears when they bought somethings and got 3 pairs! go figure!!!

[Kellie19891992]

When we were at the Galleria Mall all they were givng out was the 20% off coupon. When i went to cash out asked about the mouse ears and they were all gone

[nicks_ahoy]

Ignore my post before my mom was apparently one of the crazy people in that line cuz she got me a pair and it's got a little thing on it that says disney store
