I lost something that was very dear to me, and I cannot get it locally. Thus, I call on any Orlando-area Dopers to help out.
I had a Mickey Mouse tri-circle antenna topper, with “Walt Disney World” emblazoned on it, on my old car. When I traded it in last weekend, I forgot to remove it and now it’s gone to the wholesaler (the car, that is, with topper presumably still attached).
I obviously can’t get one in Springfield, and WDW mail order is out of the question since my Visa is maxed out from Christmas.
If any of you Dopers are near enough to WDW that you can stop by there (you don’t need to buy admission to the Downtown Disney Marketplace, which has shops galore) and pick one up for me, please e-mail me and I’ll give you specifics off-board. I’ll reimburse you for your cost (around $5.99 IIRC) and shipping (around $2 or so).
I am in Tampa. I never mind driving though. It’s no big deal to me. Especially if it’s so important to you. I’ve made the trip from Ft Bragg, NC to Tampa and back so many times, an hour trip to Orlando would feel like driving to work.
Anyway, there are a couple dopers in Orlando though. If there is no response in a couple days, I will swing by there and pick up your little Mickey Mouse thingy.
You could probably also ask about one at a local Disney store. I know that generally, their stores are getting more and more little kid oriented, but it’s worth a shot.
