Well maybe for those who didn't get put on the list, maybe they maxed out before they reached you. Just a thought. I recieved my call on Friday at 11:30 Am which is funny because I missed the call because I was at Disneyland. But I called them back yesterday and I am set, I know that when I got in line I was the 112th person in line and I was standing in front of the clothing shop on the second half of the street if that helps anyone to figure out where they ran out of them for the list, just see how much further back you were, also keep in mind some people might have asked for 2 fountains which would make it max out at person #230. I only got one so someone else could enjoy one. But they were asking us if we wanted one or two. Either way I hope that everyone in line gets one.

Well if it takes them three days (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) to get to the 112th person on the list, it prob be another week before they get to you if you are on the back of the line. Don't worry too much.

An update from my mom, she made the trip from Denver for the Tiki Room merchandise.
She was in line and added to the list for the fountain and just received her call last Thursday but missed it and finally connected today (8/5). The information from the one person handling the orders when you call back is that ALMOST everyone has been called, and they are waiting on some calls back from those who did not answer. After reading the threads here, she asked questions and was told Yes, there will be a SECOND shipment in September, but that shipment is PART of the 500 limited edition and that there is no plan for any shipment/orders for an additional casting edition. Disney’s shipment is just coming in two parts. The fountains were just signed yesterday by Kevin and Jody. They are processing the credit cards orders this week. The fountain is expected to ship via UPS the 20th (with delivery signature required), and they are offering to give you the tracking number if you call Thursday (the following day). Also, no shipping charges. They have made calls for only the number of fountains they can fill with this shipment. If you haven’t been called, you’re no doubt in shipment #2 in September.

thanks for the "pep talks". I did get my call on Monday, but didn't get the message until i got home from work. i called back the next day and they took all my info. yipee!!
BTW, i keep forgetting to tell you all that the day i was at D'land, they had a new "pocket pal" from the Tiki Room at Disneyana. this one is even more awesome than the first (Pele). i'd post a pic, but i don't know how. one of these days i'll figure it out . . .

Oh cool, how much is this one?
I hope it is not limited edition. I am tired of that game.

Hi Wishyouwell,
if i recall correctly, it was $20. it has a "secret" magnetized pull-out compartment that is the perfect size for holding two or three hand-rolled cigarettes, if you know what i mean . . wink, wink.
i'm sure it IS limited edition, but i don't think they're selling out too fast. no fanfare associated with their release. if you want one, PM me and i'll check for one next time i'm there. or you can call DelivEars.

I got my phone call from Disney about a week ago from being put on the list in the looongggg line at the event. But at least they called back as promised! I only ordered one for my Enchanted Tiki Bathroom. I hope everyone who ordered one gets their's! I'll post some photos of my bathroom as soon as I get the fountain up and running! And hey, does it run on batteries, plug in or both plug in and batteries? A cast member at the event said only plug in, but I saw an earlier post about using lithium batteries. What's the scoop? Aloha!

Unfortunately it only runs on batteries. Both would have been cool. I'm leary about batteries only, and am looking into converting it to run off of household current.
Check these topics out.

Thanks Tom for answering my question about the power source! Actually, I'm very happy about the battery power as it would have been REALLY difficult to have an AC cord where I'm displaying it in my Enchanted Tiki Bathroom. It's an apartment bathroom and the wall outlet isn't where I need it for the fountain, so this will work out great! I'll be posting photos very soon!

They should be shipping the first boat load signed By Kev and Jody this week!
I'm looking foward to seeing this up and running in person! Anyone want to upload the un-butchered full show in mp3 format? hahaha (hint) 
If anyone get theirs in, and running, let me( or all of us) know how it turns out!
I can hear the tiki drummers now.....

We called today and they said they only got a limited supply in the second shipment and we don't know when the next shipment is. Maybe they were hedging their bets, but I'm not sure.
