I know that want-to-buy posts aren't allowed and I'm worried that this is a bit borderline, but what I'm really after is information. I want to know if it's even remotely possible to find any props or anything that was actually used in the great movie ride. Are there people out there who own stuff like that and would be willing to part with it? I've emailed the people from theme park connection but haven't received a reply. I've contacted all of the people in my life who have any connection to WDW at all. I'm checking eBay compulsively. No luck so far. I was hoping ya'll might know what my next move should be. Complicating matters: I work at a bookstore so I don't have a ton of disposable income and it's possible that even if I do find something I won't be able to afford it. The closest thing I've found are the cast member costume tote bags available on eBay... but I can't justify spending $400 on a tote bag.
I love Disney, but my girlfriend (the love of my life) is a super fan and the great movie ride has always been her favorite. Going on it as a kid was one of the things that inspired her to go into film as a career. She was really really sad when it closed. She's still sad. I know it would mean so much to her if I could just find something (literally anything) from the ride so she could keep a piece of it. Anyway, any websites or forums or facebook groups or people to contact you could direct me to would be super helpful. Or if this is totally hopeless I'd like to know that too. Thank you.
