    I bought the tangine pot along with the base. The clerk went off and put it in a very large box which was delivered to our resort. Assuming that the size of the box (which had a “fragile” sticker on it) was due to the need to cushion the fragile earthenware we put it carefully inside the back seat of our car but when we arrived home and opened the box discovered that the lid,pot and base had just been stacked on top of eachother, not even wrapped in newspaper, and the contents of course broken.

        No I emailed the Pavilion. I copied the address you suggested (wdw.guest.communications@disney world.com) and was notified by gmail that that address does not exist. Odd because i saw it in their contact information but several tries brought no result.
