I was at the AP sale this morning also and got some decent deals, nothing too outrageous though. I got there at 5:30 and the line was under the big Stitch at that point but I had a friend that was further up in line by Wetzels Pretzels so I moved up there with him (I may have skipped 100 people or so). I had my umbrella with me but never needed to open it and had a sweater on but ended up rolling up my sleeves most of the time in line so the weather was pretty nice while I was there.
We got in the store about 6:35-40 and it wasn't too crowded to start with but within 30 minutes I thought it was incredibly crowded and must have been at the limit. I really wish Disney would have turned down the AC because it like a furnace in there with that many people. It would have also been nice if Disney would have handed out a flyer in line listing all the specials and door buster specials because you basically had to move around room to room looking for balloons to find the really good deals.
Some of my best buys included a table clock with Mickey and the four park icons that was orginally $45 and I got it for 10, 2 ballerina Minnie plush for $3 each, a Buzz Lightyear Pajama set for $5, and a Mickey Christmas Door Hanger for $5 which is normally $20. I also bought some other things for 50% off to use as stocking stuffers like some soaps, candy, and the little pens with hair, and since you still got the regular discount of 10% it was like getting 60% off. I also got the woven throw that you can get for $15 when you spend $40...I had been wanting to pick one up for a while but never buy $40 worth of stuff when I'm at the parks. And this was all on Disney too since I used my b-day fun card I'd been sitting on for a month now.
I saw some other good deals, but nothing I was really interested in but other people must have because the stands they were on were empty or almost empty when I went thru the second or third time making sure I didn't miss anything I wanted. You also got a free vinylmation which I went ahead and took even though I don't collect them.
The worst part in my opinion was the checkout line. I shopped for about an hour but it took close to 40 minutes to check out...I don't know if that was a store wide problem or if I just got in the wrong line (I'm horrible at picking checkout lines). They are also going to have two more days of AP sales on the 12th and the 19th but it's between the hours of 8am-10am instead of the early morning sale like today so if you're in town next weekend for DAP and don't have plans for Saturday morning you could head over there then.
. I luckly have today off and didnt have to go to WOD for work. I was curious to know what the specials were.
Thanks for the heads-up on the others dates and times. They weren't listed in the Mickey Monitor.
