We our planning our first trip to WDW this summer. Are there any videos that my DD5 would enjoy? I have ordered the Disney planning DVD, but it hasn't arrived yet.
DD and I spent some time today watching HD videos of the various parades and fireworks shows. They were on youtube.
Her favorite video we got on ebay and it's a DIsney Sing-along. She loves it and it shows all the characters in the parks. It really got her used to seeing the characters in real form, not cartoon.
YouTube for sure like vettechick stated, the DIS also has some videos showing the MK and such here: http://www.wdwinfo.com/pictures.htm Then scroll down to see some of their videos.
We love the Disney Sing Along videos from the 1990s. We have Disneyland Fun (which is a lot like the Magic Kingdom, my kids can't tell the difference), Flik at Animal Kingdom, one that is at the Wilderness Lodge, etc. I know Amazon.com still sells them.
The official Disney blog site has a couple of videos that are eye-watering, innovative, and fun to watch.
Google official disney blog, then search top-5-disney-parks-blog-videos-of-2009
I'm paying for my 2010 trip by Couponing to Disney! I already have $2300 (since June 1st) and not one cent has come out of our paychecks!
not to change the subject, but I've never understood the art of couponing. How people save so much money. Where would I find coupons on products that I buy every week. In my book you're not saving money if you don't use that product. I really HATE (such a bad word) when the cashier says "you saved X amount of money today. That irks me ALOT! I always say "Oh, I see, I spent X amount to save X amount." Ok, back to topic, I'm always looking for interesting Disney videos and music. I just recently started listening to Live365. What a great site for park music and such. Enjoy your trip!
I really like this guy's DVDs we have quite a few of them and my DS likes them.
Also the park discs they sell there. You can call disney merchandise and order them over the phone or pick one up on ebay. The best one is MK then probably EP then DHS and DAK (that one is kind of annoying and looks terrible!)
I love this family's video on youtube. No it doesn't give a lot of information, but it is so cool and shows how much fun you can have on your trip. And one of the little girls in the video, looks to be about 5, so your dd might like that.
