i know that there used to be some of those round botton pins before but i have noticed that alot of the stuff is being taken out.

Brett made some VF buttons by getting some cheap clear buttons at Target and putting a VF logo in there. Wasn't that how you did it Brett?

If so, then it wouldn't be hard for someone to make similar ones and hand 'em out like he did back in the day. Could also make some available in the VF Store.

I've seen PMM in pictures with his VF Shirt withe the castmember badge thing printed on the shirt. Why not have stuff like that

I'd like to see collections of Brett's desktops on CDs. I'd buy em.

disneyguy · 04-12-2006, 02:31 PM

Maybe they should sell name badges for VF like Cavemandon has. And you could type your name onto it.

It would be really cool if chris or an admin got in touch with disney and made specialized passports that we could sell and a portion of it would go to VF. and the specialized passport would of course have the VF logo instead of disney.

dctrdez · 04-21-2006, 11:38 PM

Howabout some VF collectable, trade-able pins, like the ones at all the Resorts? If you made the right amount, they could become a hot item in the trading circles.

disneyfreak59 · 04-23-2006, 09:07 AM

what about a VF lanyard with a plastic case at the end that has a VF logo and you can carry tickets or annual pases n such. the lanyard itself of course would say Visions fantastic. so will the clear plastic holder thingy mabob. ugg idk how to decribe it. have you guys seen the getawaytoday lanyards? exactly like that but with VF on there.

Chris · 04-23-2006, 09:53 PM

These are all wonderful suggestions, everyone. I wish it were possible to offer these on a limited basis, but we're somewhat confined to what can be produced on a single-order basis, like Cafepress and similar businesses. While a lanyard, pin, etc, are all possible, you usually have to place an order with a substantial bulk, meaning we'd be stuck paying for 1000 pins with no guarantee we would ever be able to sell them all.

As much as its limited, Cafepress and similar businesses enable us to not have to carry an inventory and worry about overhead costs, storage, and the stress of having to move a certain amount of inventory to remain profitable.

We will keep the suggestions in mind, however. Thank You.

What about CDs of Brett's wallpapers? Or some of the featured videos? Is there any sort of CD-on-Demand type service that would make and distribute them only when ordered?

kairamoon · 04-23-2006, 10:52 PM

^ I really like that idea!

Neo · 04-23-2006, 10:54 PM

kinda like netflix but disflix LOL

Chris · 04-23-2006, 11:33 PM

We can do that now thru Cafepress, but selling CD's of Disneyland Property (even if Brett took them) would be considered commercial photography in the park and is prohibited. People are getting away with this on Ebay, but to feature it on VF would be a big mistake.

Ezra · 04-23-2006, 11:38 PM

Oh... I hadn't thought of that.

kairamoon · 04-23-2006, 11:46 PM

Oh good point
