They prorate the taxes that you pay...but you have to pay the "vanity" price every time you get a vanity tag or renew one. It ends up just being a tax-deductible donation...but you still have to fork out that money every time. Hopefully the tag will still be available later this year. :)

By chance my plate missed getting the standard 3 letter start of WDW by about three weeks. In late 2007 NJ used WDW and WED. I've seem vehicles with both those on the road and wished I was that lucky.

I have been trying to bring up the idea of a custom Disney themed plate for when we get a new car. I like the looks of the AT EPCOT plate. Right now I have the idea for getting "SIMBA 1" as a tribute to Kilamanjaro Safaris

That would have been nice to get a Disney plate for free compliments of the timing of the NJ DMV!!
I like Simba 1, that would be cool :cool:

I love the Mickey heads that you put on the antenna. I see lots of them in Jersey. I've never bought one though. The Figment one is not very nice looking, I don't know if they even sell it anymore.

I don't remember seeing a Figment antenna topper on this past trip. They did have some Figment merchandise in the gift shop after the JII attraction, but not much :( which made my Mom very sad...she loves Figgy

It's been a while since I was at JIYI at EPCOT (more than 1 year) but I do remember the antenna toppers at the time. Check with the WDW mail order service and you may be able to get it that way.

I got this decal online, It's tasteful and not to attention drawing. I also have a mickey antenna ball, it says "Disney" and the ears are swept back at an angle. I have never seen one like it, from what I understand it came from DLP.
