He's probably thinking "Ugh! MORE disney? What else will they make?!"
My brother did exactly the same when I told him!
I think I'm getting one as a suprise :-$
I noticed it in a magazine about 2 month ago £149.99 plus £10.00 Postage and Packing, but beware, they are very limited... :D/
:shock: OMG that's gorgeous! :( I want one so badly! *Attempts to zoom in on picture* :lol: I want to know if Cheshire is on there.
I want one sooooooo bad, we saw it the other day, mum pointe but it out to me, but said no when I asked if I could have it... so I asked Dad "No" so I asked Chris ... so now the only way I can get it is if get this job!
@ Javey: sorry to tell you this but these things are never as limited as they say, my mum has been deeling with these companys for years and in about 10 years they will still be selling it!!

Well Clarebelle, that's what is written on the advert in the order section, you see it's a marketing thing I suppose, and by saying what I'm saying on this Forum, I'm supporting them... :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
Come on now everyone open your purses and wallets, pockets an' all. Buy one of these beautiful Disney tree table top decorations, roll up, roll up... :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
is it a limited edition to a set number??
my mouse is hovering over the order now button ...
I think it's just so many have been manufactured, whether they are numbered is another matter, I will find that one out with the certificate of authentification. Whether more are made at a later stage will be the question.. :wink: :D
OH MY GOD I WANT ONE!!!
That looks just GORGEOUS!! It's perfect!!
Time to start negotiations with my husband... I know what I want for christmas!
I want it!!!!
Just to let you know, I'm now a proud owner of one, it arrived on Thursday. I'll take some pics tomorrow and add them to this thread. :D
I'll also try counting all the characters on it aswell, and check to see if there's a Cheshire Cat anywhere... :wink: :D
wow Javey you must be so happy!!!
I'm still tempted by it
Yeah, you could say that Clarebelle... :D/ :D/
I'm amazed at how many characters are on it, with some of the characters you would have to look really close to see them. Really clever how they have done some of them. :o
Also they are all numbered individually as I just discovered.. :wink: :D
Full inspection, later today... :mrgreen:
ooooooo cant wait to see photos!
:D Hurry up and fill us in Javey!
Ooo!
I'm excited to see many a shot of this tree!
One of every character! :lol: :mrgreen: 8)
PHOTOS! WE NEED PHOTOS! :P
Right here we go>>
The Wonderful World of Disney Christmas [Sculpture No. A1613]
(//http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc266/javey74/WWDC-AllShot.jpg)
From the floor to the top of Mickey's Sleigh it measures 17", and it's 9" at it's widest point. There is a total of 65, different Disney Characters, with a few extra random background animals, I've only classed the 13 Dalmations as 1 character in this equation. Also there are two moving trains, the lowest moving clockwise, with the next tier up moving anti-clockwise. Each train is driven by Mickey who features quite a bit on the whole decoration, there's even some hidden mickeys within the presents on the train wagons. The movement on the trains gives an illusion of them moving upwards towards the top tier, caused by the spacing and visual concept of each of them appearing and disappearing at intervals. The lights are illuminated within the buildings on the decoration, giving a yellow glow. :wink:
The Prince and Princesses move in a clockwise direction, with Mickey and his sleigh at the very top moving in an anti-clockwise direction. :wink:
Power is supplied by a 4.5V Power Adapter or 3 AAA batteries. You have an option switch of either movement only with illumination, or movement and sound with illumination. It has an auto cutout feature with activates after 1 hour of continuous use. It can be reactivated by moving the power switch back to off then on again.. :wink: For the sound side it has 8 Christmas Carols that play at least a verse and chorus on a looping system, the following are played>>
1. Jinglebells
2. We Wish You A Merry Christmas
3. Silent Night
4. Tis The Season To Be Jolly
5. Joy To The World
6. The First Noel
7. Hark The Herald Angel Sing
8. O' Christmas Tree
Their is a volume control wheel for your own listening preference aswell.. :wink: :D
Another point, you would need to stand this table decoration in the centre of a room to see all of the characters, since they are positioned all around the tree, not just the front and the sides. :o
I will hopefully get a shot of each character eventually, but it would be rather time consuming at present, so this will have to be done at a later time.. :)

Quote from: "MinniesBestPal"Why isn't minnie on the top? :P
Did you not know that Minnie is frightened of heights, she's been on medication since she was little, for that very reason... :lol: :P

Awwwhhh, don't worry about it burntsienna, you're getting one, in fact I've got all the members one for Christmas, just waiting for Santa to collect them, ready for dispatch... :D/ :D/ :D/
Well I think I bought them, not sure if I paid though. Mmmmm... :^o :^o :wink:
Haha awww!
I'd really like to think that, that wasn't a Pinocchio moment! lol
I'm going to be sat waiting for my present...I'm not going to move from this spot until the present gets here lol :mrgreen: 8)

I was just thinking the exact same thing!
Its the thought that counts anyways Mr Javey Sir =]
Why thank you burntsienna, that is a true saying... :wink: :D
As for MBP hint suggestion, all I can say is that the character is not on the decoration.......So I suppose that's a saver clue...And you are both now privileged info holders, since this is not even on the 'Character Guess' game thread :wink: :mrgreen:
:D
Well I must say, I do feel rather special! :lol:
:D Eee, it's beautiful! There's just two things that bother me...
1. :( They could've fit Cheshire on there somewhere!
2. :shock: Pocahontas and John SMITH? :lol: Didn't she dump that guy for John Rolph?
haha WOW someone NOT from King's Lynn who knows she DIDNT marry John Smith... I'm impressed and shocked =D>
:P Pocahontas 2 is one of the better Disney sequels I think. John Rolph (or maybe Rolf, I'm not sure on the spelling) is an adorable character. I much prefer him to John Smith.
*Stares at the tree some more* :D Dumbo and Bambi look so cute!
its Rolfe I think anyways! well done for knowing it, I have never seen Pocahontas 2....
and its beautiful isnt it *dreams*
and it combines my 2 favourite things ... Disney and Christmas (can you tell I'm trying to convince myself to buy it?)
:P The only reason I think I can live without it is because I make my own Disney tree every year. Our Christmas tree is only decorated with Disney tree decorations. :D Even the fairy lights are Disney, because they have Tinkerbell on them in places. :) Lol, even my Christmas stocking is Disney, and the skirt that goes around the tree base.
That tree would make an amazing table centerpiece though. :( Our Christmas Winnie the Pooh snowglobe can't live up to that.
awwww your decorations sound great!
I bought a 2006 dlrp tree decoration last time we went at christmas and it broke as soon as i got it home :-(
I cant wait until christmas now! we should all post photos of our christmas trees and disney related items! my mum has a christmas snow white and the seven dwafs set which I will HAVE to post a photo of ....
we always make sure to buy atleast 1 disney tree decoration when we go on holiday =]
so do we now, although I'm a bit weary now
... ooooo and I nearly forgot my tinkerbelle tree topper, 10x prettier than a normal star!
Now I really cant wait until December!
Well I'll leave you's to decide who Pocahontas is actually dancing with, all I know for sure it's a fella... :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
what colour hair does he have?
Just checked again, and again, done a bit research a bit more checking... :shock: So I can now confirm that it is actually as you mentioned.... John Rolfe... :wink:
Well done for that correction everyone.. =D> =D>
I'll update my post... :wink: :D
:)
Thanks for the confirmation Javey :mrgreen:
Is it just me or did John Smith turn out to be really quite different in the second film too...I'm glad she stayed with John Rolfe =]
Well to be honest burntsienna, I haven't seen Pocahontas 1 or 2, even though we do own them on DVD. I'd just assumed it to be John Smith for some reason, as he seems to be mentioned alot with Pocahontas, I'd never heard of John Rolfe. That's what comes of not having seen the films, I made the fatal error of assuming.. :shock: :?
You've never seen them!
I'm more surprised about you never seeing the original...though I'm happy you have it on DVD...yet that just makes the whole you not seeing it a bit confusing haha! :mrgreen:
I find it hard to get through 93 Disney Films, it's a time and work thing I suppose.. :roll:
Yeah...I can see how that could be a problem lol!
I think you should move Pocahontas up your viewing list though *nods* its deffinately a must =]
I'm sure it would be John Smith on the tree Javey as hardly anyone knows that she didnt marry him! I even heard someone FROM KING'S LYNN say that they didnt even know she was a real person!!!
John Smith was an apprentice of Thomas Sandell, the owner of Thoresby College in King's Lynn and When he was captured by Indians he was saved by 11year old Pocahontas. Pocahontas then went on to marry John Rolfe of Heacham, Norfolk. In 1615 their son Thomas was born (pictured)
(//http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll265/clarebelle_disney/heritage%20day/snowwhite122.jpg)
This is an engraving by dutch artist Simon Van De Passe is the only known depiction of Pocahontas done during her lifetime, it now hangs in King's Lynn Guild hall
Hopefully I will cover this further in the "where I live..." topic
I was shocked when I was talking to my sister about it and she thought that Pocahontas married John Smith.

I knew she didn't marry John Smith but didn't know all this great info! Thanks for sharing Clarebelle! :mrgreen:
Thanks for that interesting info Clarebelle, I knew the story was based on a true one, but there were other tell tale signs as the figure on the decoration has brown hair and not blonde as John Smith has, plus he's wearning green trousers which John Rolfe wears in the second one.. :)
I personally think more women will know about who she really married, as it's not a man thing this marriage lark, a lot couldn't care less in my opinion...It could just as easy of been Joe Bloggs :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:
:D I have a Tink tree topper as well! :P Yes, someone will definatly have to make a Christmas decorations thread when the time comes.
:o And wow Clare, thanks for all that info. Honestly, I didn't know that John Rolfe was real. I thought he was just a new character that they made up for the sequel.
hehe no he was a real live living person
Psst...only 95 days to go!
until Christmas?
not long to convince myself to buy! hehe
Quote from: "MinniesBestPal"Psst...only 95 days to go!
I agree this year if flying out... :shock: :shock:
2008, the year of an idiot Prime Minister and Recession... :evil:
WOW! only 95!
I'd better start buying peoples presents soon!
I know what I'm getting everyone so it should be an easy task this year =]
I know what I'm getting people ... Gift vouchers lol no I really have to start thinking about it soon!
I'm making most of my presents! :lol:
:o I've already started thinking about what I wanna get people. I need to put some of my wages aside each month so I've got spending money for DLRP, so I wanna try and get pressies sorted ASAP. :P
I concidered making jewellry for the "girls" maybe I'll give it a go
Quote from: "MinniesBestPal"I'm making most of my presents! :lol:
I'm the same!
I'm making some of my presents too =]
Mainly drawing portraits of family members for other family members etc.
Oh, I'm designing mugs for my friends, and I have no idea what to do for my dad, or what to get my mum!
Talking about, as the thread originally said "The Wonderful World Of Disney Christmas Tree", he's a shot of DLRP's tree I come across. Definitely brings back memories>> :D
