  • Hi Michelle…can you confirm that there will be a sample sale on April 26th as well as new Dooney’s being released?

  • PTN is there anything special there to be released for it like a special pin?

    Also seems kinda odd to have a pin release the same day as PTN and have the artists signing in a different location then the PTN event?

    Can you please give some more info please and thank you.

    • Hi Crystal! In regards to your question about any special pin being available in conjunction with Trading Night, the answer is no.

      As for why there are artist signings prior to the Trading Night opportunity, that is often due to artist availability. In this instance it also allows the Guest who wishes to partake in both to do so.

  • That Oswald piece is absolutely fantastic! Will prints or other merchandise featuring the artwork be available at WonderGround Gallery?

    • Hi Ellen! As of now, the print will definitely be available. If there are any additional items added I will let you know.

  • I would LOVE to purchase one of the Precious Moments Easter dolls. Could you tell me how to do that if I’m in California? Will there be a location to make purchases at Disneyland? Thank you so very much!

    • Hi Karen! Linda Rick will actually be in California at the Disneyland Resort, April 3 – 5. Look for her to appear between Noon and 10p.m. each day at World of Disney Store in the Downtown Disney District. If the timing doesn’t work, you can always inquire with Disney Merchandise Guest Services.
