What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNow to Disney at Christmas, where AllEars has a packing list. Skip is standing by in a place that, I'm told, is festive.

  2. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHank, I'm standing outside a store with a wall of Mickey sleepwear behind me, and the guide's first warning is that the Amazon Essentials set is one hundred percent cotton, so you should size up in case it shrinks.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the pajamas are expected to shrink.

  4. Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentYes, and I've got a shopper here. Sir, what did you pack?

  5. Marvin OyelaranEverything one size up. Pajamas, the green Mickey heads, even the Santa coin purse that says Happy Holidays on the strap.
