I think I may like the combination better than having a synced soundtrack like at Disneyland. << Thanks Dave, it always helps to get first hand information. Since I know you are not a total WDW fanboy, that is a very positive review, and matches up with my impression of it from youtube.

I really never had any interest in joining D23 because of that. For it to be successful I think you have to have both a dedicated fan, and Disney employee overseeing, and advising the operation of it. I think those kind of people still exsit inside the Corporation. ------ you mean WDCC right ? yeah, first they kill the resale value but producing too much product after the first year or two --(like every other colllectible they do) - then sell the product to Enesco and finish off whatever value was left.. anyone missing pieces let me know..as they go for pennies on the dollar on ebay and then they wonder why people get pissed off. I wonder what schlock magazine publisher they can sell D23 too..as really it is only worth anything for the magazine--especially if you don't live near DL
