If that one person feels like a shut-in because they have only been to a Disney store and a Sesame Street store a time or two, what the heck must I be?
I have been to a Disney store once. ONCE! When we went to go again, both the Disney and Warner Brother stores had been closed, forever...
I don't shop DS online, but I do get their catalog. I hate it; it caters to little girls (I have boys), the clothing sizes are for children who can wear up to size 10 (usually an 8), the clothing for the men and women only go up to size 14 (they think this is an EXTRA LARGE sometimes!) for women and a XL for men (meaning a 42-44 chest). I don't know whose dreamworld THEY live in, but it's not the reality of my world...My youngest was wearing size 10s when he was SIX!
Excuse me, Disney company...they grow kids a LOT bigger these days!!
I have written and complained, I have called and complained and I have emailed and complained. I receive the same answer each time..."Yes, we know about this problem, and you are not the first to ask us to make larger clothing for our customers. We have put in requests for the larger clothing, and in our next catalog you should find some. Please be patient with us..."
Hey, I've been patient for over 6 years now...I really think it's time for ACTION!!
And I am a collector...they have limited supplies and I have limited funds. They have EXTREME prices and I have extreme limitied funds. Anyone else see a vicious circle of "not getting anywhere" here besides me?
And as for tickets to any of the theme parks in America...let me put it this way...
We have been telling our son since he was about three that, as soon as we can afford it, we'll go to Disneyland or Universal Studios or one of the other theme parks in America. Well, he'll be 18 in about two weeks, and his brother has been hearing this same tune from us since HE was about three...
We make about $50T gross per year, but with all the bills and medical problems, we're lucky to buy groceries and get from one payday to the next. I don't know about "starving people in Malaysia" who wonder about the families who spend $80 plus just to get into the gate at these places...I wonder about ME wondering about how the heck these people can afford it!
