I am looking for some tips to have this trip live up to the last or even surpass it. Does anyone know if the parades and fireworks will be the same in December of '06? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Originally Posted By Disney Joy I think being only your 2nd trip and a different time of season will make it an amazing trip also. The park will be totally different with all the decorations and the parade will be themed for Christmas. Even if it was the same - by trip 2 the magic is still strong. You have also done alot more than most people have done in years on your 1st trip. ENJOY !

I have heard that 2006 was the last year of the contract that is why I am making sure to get out there this year? Does anyone have any more information? "How was the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour? I took the keys to the kingdom tour at WDW and am looking for a tour to take at DL. Would a fairly mature eight year old like it?" I really enjoyed the tour; there were no children on the tour when I was on it so I can't really say how it would be for your child. Not to give anything away but the tour covered a lot of the parks history and information about its creation. I highly recommend it to any Disney fan, esp. park fans. The 3 highlights of the tour for me were seeing some of Club 33, The Tiki room portion and learning that all the vegetation in Tomorrowland is edible is some way, I don't think that it is that way in WDW.
