Tangaroa,
You say in your article that the Tomorrowland stuff goes on sale May 1.
Is that when it all goes on sale? Or just some things? When, for instance, is the Shirt going to be on sale? I'm getting THAT day one. Why a limited edition of 500 escapes me, given that there are over 3000 members of Tiki Central.

Wowee! I guess I stumbled on this late, but better than never. Stunning work, Kevin and Jody. Of course, I'm not surprised. Everything I've seen come from your artistic and creative brains has been nothing short of fantastic. Congrats.

Wheeeeooooo!
The limited edition "Disneyland Musical History" box set went on sale today - it was sold out on-line by 1pm!
That doesn't mean you can't still get the limited edition though - both Disneyland & Walt Disney World will be carrying some copies for sale at the parks - but I am unsure of how many - or when they will put them out.
You can still back order the set here:
http://disney.store.go.com/DSSearch.process?restartflow=t&CLK=DS_11776_SEARCH_FRM&Searchstr=61499
But bear in mind that despite what it says - it will be for a "non-limited" set - without the gold vinyl, and presentation box...
Still pretty cool though!

warning...vent session here...
argh....i'll tell ya, i'm disgusted by all the hype and 'limited' nature of this stuff. disney has managed to extricate all the fun out of it by creating these ridiclous frenzies. why in the world this should be a limited edition i cannot fathom. none...i repeat, none of the old or vintage disneyland stuff we all love was 'limited'...that was the point of it. park merchandise was available to anyone at one time, as long as there was a market for it. i betcha more than half of the 5000 purchases were by profiteers looking to resell on ebay for three times the price, before they even get possession of the set.
also, disney releases false information about the release (first on the 24th, then on the 5th of may, and then on the 26th at midnite &!#%*#@!!) at what point is this supposed to be fun or catering to the fan?
i mean, hell, why not have rabid fans tie razor blades on their ankles and have them cock-fight for the set in Goofy's, Bounce House?
to be honest, i could care less for the set itself. it's the book i would find most interesting. the music will be on the newsgroups before you know it. i'm also sure in a month or so, you'll find all the hogs that bought ten copies selling them for less than cost on ebay when they realize the frenzy has died down. this happened with almost everything from these 'limited' events from the first haunted mansion and pirates to the tiki room/shag stuff.
i don't mean to sound like a sour puss here, it's just that i think the spirit behind the marketing and sales of this stuff (certainly not the creative, which i absolutely applaud mr. kidney and pals for) says a great deal about the walt disney company in general. and that also includes bad business practice...i mean, are they really doing their stock holders justice by putting this stuff out in such small numbers? especially when you find out that 'limited edition' is really a suggestion on their part. (pirates and mansion lithos that seem to never end from their original, 'limited' numbers).
this is why i like to stick to vintage stuff.
i dunno, just leaves a bad taste in my mouth which i think i'll wash out with a couple of chi-chi's!

J- we must design this attraction as soon as possible! But only if hefty pin-lanyards are also allowed as weapons ala Spartacus..... I can see it all in my minds eye now!

Excuse me if I'm unclear about the 2 versions of the box set of music.
It seems to me that the limited edition is the same as the unlimited, with the only difference being the COLOR of the cover of the book?!!?
What's the big deal about THAT? I don't care which one I get then. I'm gettin mine tomorrow and I'll post about it for you.
The difference seems minor. Very minor.
Now yeah, I'll swear up and down a blue streak if the limited edition keeps me from getting a Tiki Room host shirt.
