Olszewski POTC piece to be released November 18, 2006
 

Disneygallery.com doesn't have the info yet, but Olszewski Studios' official site's personal appearances page indicates that Pirates will be released on November 18, 2006. It also confirms that the piece will be released at the Disney Gallery (like Haunted Mansion was) whereas the Clothier Corner and Photo Corner pieces being released on September 23 will be at Disneyana.

If you go to this link and then scroll down a bit, you'll see pictures of the Pirates piece, including the inserts and the top view of the "hidden room" and the inside of the Disney Gallery with the living room decorated as it had originally been designed as Walt and Lillian's apartment.

So is Robert Olszewski's health doing better? I remember a while back he was having problems. He must be doing better if he can make the appearances.

wow- are there people who collect these like pins?

That must be tough to keep them on lanyards :)

LOL- I just can't imagine the cost!
:eek:

I'd love to collect them......but it would mean no more trips to the actual park in order to afford it.

I think they are nice to look at- but taking care of them. Dusting, finding a place for them-no thanks.

But they are pretty to see-

I want/need to get a bunch of glass-enclosed curio cabinets to store all my collectible crap. I'm not a duster, but I am a collector.

I don't care what it is you collect - and most of us collect something - collections take care, cleaning, dusting, organizing. Basically, they are a PINA and yet, we keep collecting.

That's why I like museums and galleries. All the enjoyment, none of the worry about its care.

I should tell that to myself in regard to libraries, and then maybe I wouldn't spend all my money on books...
