For me, CoP represents a lot of what Walt Disney was about, and thus I still love it even if it's not my fav. I could be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" was one of Walt's favorites, and the Sherman brothers wrote it for/about Walt...

Might be a bit of a stretch, but what about after one of the names etched in the windows on Main St. USA? Or after on of the early animators (Ollie, Ward, Milt, etc)?

...what would you spend it on? Home decor? A night out at your favorite WDW restaurant? An excursion like fishing or a backstage tour? 45 Mickey Mouse ice cream bars (probably my first choice..)?

I happily go on a diet and up my exercise in anticipation of the trip (the only time I'm ever happy to do so!) The more fit I am, the more Mickey Mouse ice cream bars I can eat guilt-free :) . 24 Days and counting!

Does crying tears of joy every time I get that first glimpse of the castle from Main Street USA count as a tradition? :) Other than trying to contain my tears, riding the Jungle Cruise at night is a must.

Usually for me it's "A Dream is Wish Your Heart Makes" and "When You Wish Upon a Star." Lately I've had the Rex Allen version of "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" on repeat. All three songs make me think of Walt Disney the man and just how amazing the whole idea of the Disney parks is...

Speaking of oranges, I'll never forget when I was in Morocco at the WS and the trees in the courtyard were at their peak blossoming (are they lemon trees? orange trees?) The whole area smelled like citrus. I forever associate the smell of citrus fruits with the WS now. I've been back to the...

Well now I feel silly - there have been occasions where I have lusted after one (or rather, many) ornaments and not been sure how to get them home safe and sound. And now you have convinced me to ship things back - what a great point about how fun it is to have something to look forward to after...

Fantastic! Thank you!

I seriously did not know that - wow! Thanks so much for the info! And not paying tax is awesome :D

I know, right? And it was the middle of the day, too.

Apologies if someone has asked this before. Has anyone had experience shipping/mailing items purchased at the World? I know it's possible to call Guest Services and order parks merchandise, but I'd love to maybe ship back some potentially larger items for nostalgic reasons (it means more to me...

We went the first weekend in May last year, and we're going the first weekend in May this year! It's a great time to go - the longest we waited for a ride was 40 minutes, and that was for Toy Story Mania (40 minutes!) The weather is fantastic, too, and as others have mentioned, the Flower &...

That watch is fantastic! Thanks so much for the info, I am definitely going to try to track it down!

That's so frustrating - except for being able to get a replacement! I actually didn't know there were Skagen Disney watches - I am definitely going to have to track them down on our trip in a few weeks! Where did you get yours from?
