Anyone have an opinion about the mini-prince and princess?? Also I watched the whole parade and our local programmers switched to a national dog show before the end and I missed Santa. I know where to find him next week and DL..Stupid local television.

Originally Posted By RangerPooh I tivo'd it and watched it without the commercials. Hubby and I watched the Disney float twice as we haven't heard Rimes sing the 'Remember When' song. I noticed it said WDW but went said to myself, "does that suprise you? no". As for the young pince/ss they had them for Peter Pan, Belle, the Mad Hatter, Aladdin and Jasimne, and Cinderella/Prince.

WDW, on the other hand is a full blown vacation, where you will most likely stay on property and end up spending an order of magnitude more than you would at DLR.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN I don't get why why many of you donot concider DLR to be a full blown vacation. I go to DLR and can be occupied for 3 days doing everything there is to be done. You all are giving WDW way way way too much credit.

Yeah, I knew a few San Diegans (when I was a San Diegan) who would go for a DL vacation, but even then it would be a 3 day trip max. WDW trips are ususally much longer.

The typical WDW visitor lives on the eastern seaboard and visits for multiple days.
Originally Posted By basas <<My trips to WDW last a few hrs for your info>> You also live 20 minutes away. There is no debate that WDW is a MUCH, MUCH bigger (and IMO, much better) complete vacation destination.
Originally Posted By Labuda "<<My trips to WDW last a few hrs for your info>> You also live 20 minutes away." Maybe in horrid traffic he's that far away.

ORDDU: Perhaps it would have gone better if Morva had ever gotten around to inventing things like air ports and electricity. Ever try booking a vacation from there to ANY outside destination? It's nearly impossible!
