*Finally* tracked down 5-CD Box of Classic Disney; Question re: CD Players in Villas

[JonHM]

I'm so psyched! I know a lot of you may have this already, I think it came out about 6 years ago - but we have a one year old now and we're just getting back to our Disney roots and I began searching for the 5 CD Set of Classic Disney for DS's birthday - without much success. Either people didn't have it listed, had it listed as out of print, or only had the first three CDs of the set - but *finally*, I found the full 5 CD set at Amazon.com - for only $32.49 - even with shipping added in, that comes to less than $8 a disc (currently, if you buy the 3 that are still available separately, they go for $15 each), brand new! I have been wanting to post this for a while, but since the website itself had such little in the way of description, I wanted to wait until I received it before telling anyone else, to make sure I was getting what I thought I was.

Well, it came yesterday, and it is *exactly* what I thought it was! Now, it's not really a 'box set' in the traditional sense - All it comes in is a cardboard sleeve, exactly big enough for the five jewel cases - no big box, no big color booklet - just the CDs. But considering how hard it was for me to track those down, I didn't mind that at all! By the way, it *did* take them a few weeks to get it from their distributor, so it took me about 3 weeks to get it - they claim it's an import, but everything is in american english; I don't know where they imported it from... Canada? Who knows... Anyway, here are a few links if anyone else is interested in getting these discs:

And since the store provides so little in the way of description, HERE is an accurate table of contents I cut and pasted together:

Now to the DVC portion of the post DW and I are brand new DVC members, and have not been home for our first trip yet - that's coming in January. My question is this: I know that the one bedroom and two bedroom villas come with a VCR - but do they come with a CD player? It'd be great (especially when DS gets older) to be able to play him some of these classic Disney songs in the mornings to get him pumped for the day! I don't ever remember anyone mentioning a CD player in the room, so I assume that the answer is no, but hey, it can't hurt to ask, right?

There are no CD or tape players in studio, 1 or 2BR villas. The GV's do have stereos with a tape deck- but I'm not sure about CD's even there.

You may need to carry a player with you!

Enjoy!

=) I bring my laptop for emails of the digital photos to family (instant personalized post cards! ) and I use the CD player in the laptop.
