    A taste of Disney in Dubai

    That would explain it. Possibly a thumb in the face of Disney. I was under the impression that Disney kept a pretty tight lid on its production and went after those who tried to copy it. Though there may be some differences that make it legal it was kind of interesting. Thank you for the...

    Getting Excited Less than two weeks to go.

    TO say that I am getting excited for our Annual LONG trip to Walt Disney World is an understatement. I think I get just as excited as my 6 year old daughter and I'm a crusty old Infantryman here. To introduce myself I work in Afghanistan as a civilian with the US Army so my trips home mean...

    10-year cost of the 7 resorts - are BLT/VWL/BCV worth their much higher cost?

    We just love Saratoga Springs. Although it isnt in close proximity (Walking Distance) to any of the parks, Downtown Disney is. It is nice and quiet and has all the amenities that we enjoy. Buying resale is pretty much where I am going and there are some pretty good offers listed for...

    Cinderella's New Look

    After reading deeper into this thread and comparing closely the pictures that were provided and elsewhere on the net I have come to this conclusion. The new Cinderella is nothing more than a more refined modernized Cinderella as are the other characters. I would instantly recognize her...

    Cinderella's New Look

    I see nothing wrong with the changes to the gown. Personally I believe it matches closer what we see in the transformation in the movie. A silver shining blue gown that closely matches what was seen in the movie at the Fairy God Mothers transformation. The previous gown seems to be more...

    10-year cost of the 7 resorts - are BLT/VWL/BCV worth their much higher cost?

    it is way to busy for us at this time of year as a family. An adults only weekend trip would be in cards if the opportunity and availability to do so was there. I was using that as an example because the calculator that I was using did not have the 2013 points entered in it yet and we booked...

    10-year cost of the 7 resorts - are BLT/VWL/BCV worth their much higher cost?

    Thank you for the advise. My calculations tell me that I would need at a minimum of 250 points for a 1 bedroom villa at Beach Club for 10 nights during the first 10 days of December. I looked at it for that time frame because the points calender for 2013 has not yet been released to my...
