I wonder how many people put their name on the waiting list that day.

The Event Merchandise employee said they were only filling the list to 500.
In other words:
The day of the event had approximately 40 fountains onhand for that day.
That means the employee walked the line taking orders only until she took the 460th fountain order and closed it(she did take orders totaling the 500LE). She did not continue taking the list over the 460th fountain. I asked the castmember specifically, and she said she was tallying the number of fountains every 5-10 people to keep an accurate track of numbers, to guarantee lineholders a fountain, and to avoid an oversell. I don't think any fountains will be left over to be sold at Disneyana or Delivears, since the list was filled on the day of the event.
Also, if they decided to make more than the 500(actually 460, since 40 were sold the day of the event) LE pieces, Disney could be held liable for false representation of their merchandise. I wouldn't think that Disney would open up that can of worms, but you never know!
