A Muppet Christmas Carol

We were supposed to have a copy of The Muppet Christmas Carol – Kermit’s 50th Anniversary edition. But our recent order from the Disney Movie Club got screwed up and instead of The Muppet Christmas Carol – Kermit’s 50th Anniversary edition, Mickey’s Once and Twice Upon a Christmas, we ended up with Lady and The Tramp II. Yesterday as I was going through our bills and whatnot I came across the invoice and called the Disney Movie Club to see how I could get this rectified. They were great. So very helpful. And even before I hung up the phone Allison received the e-mail confirmation that the movies were on their way. Disney Movie Club is really a good deal. And their customer service is awesome.
