I got $351.54 which helps pay for my next Disneyland Trip. Darn I have to renew my AP in Feb. so I guess it will go towards that. I'm guessing my brother wont have as much as that. He got a framed share for his 21st, a gimick really, something nice to look at on his wall. Obviously one share isn't ...

They're great! I love them. It's like the cartoons have come to life! The only problem i can see is that now kids are going to expect mickey etc to talk to them at the character meet and greats, obviously the actors don't sound anything like Mickey/donald etc. Obviously you couldn't have a recording...

To be honest, regarless of which any of us think is the best park, just go with your favourite. It is your special day after all! Failing that, travel to each of them having a different meal in each!

Thanks for the link rdeacon!

I want to join DVC, unfortuanately student finances are not the best for that sort of thing. DVC at AKL would be awesome though. We stayed at DVC last year and were given a free room upgrade :D
It's probably my favourite disney hotel!

Does anyone know if there's a reason for painting it pink? I know that the castle in Disneyland Paris is painted pink as it gives a much warmer, sunnier looking picture against the often rather grey French skies. I dont really see there being the same problem in Florida somehow, but maybe they foun...

The dining plan is a great way of paying for your food on holiday and does give you quite a lot of flexiblity, but watch out if you have a villa or are planning to spend several days either in other themeparks or just out and about. Obviously if you spend a couple days in universal, one at seaworld,...

I thought EE was new and inventive. The Paris Indy coaster goes backwards Yes the Paris Indi rollarcoaster does goes backwards, but its kind of a one way deal. Depending on the year it has been made to go either forwards or backwards, but it doesn't do both while you are on the ride, unlike EE. I ag...

I hit EPCOT as I think its the best theme park for the slightly older (i.e. not 6 year olds) disney fan. They have a lot of fine cuisine for a Birthday meal as well as the best evening parardes/fireworks. It also has a slightly more grown up, sedate feel to it than the other parks due to the World S...

I think its pathetic. How many adults do you know that would just randomly decide to punch a kid for no reason, especially if they are at work! It is obvious that Tigger must have been provoked in someway. The only explanations are that the kid did something unintentionly and possible without realis...

I completely agree with the decline in the world showcase shops. I have a fantastic rug on my floor that i bought in the morrocco pavilian years ago which clearly says on the label, made in Morrocco.

Thanks Rich.

I still feel that we have all been made to suffer a great loss at it's closing, but I suppose the reasons do make sence. Particually if there were concerns over safty.

Ah well.... back to my memories

I agree with you there sub!
Disney needs to put the time and money into making something not just good, but amazing and not rely on the name.

Having said that... I liked soaring which is fairly new and very original! Although they have copied it from one park to another.

I agree that if you really wanted to do some harm then the security checks are pathetically easy to get around, but they do offer a little piece of mind as they show that Disney is at least thinking about security. There isn't really anything that they can do to prevent a determined person. As for s...
