They don't really know anything about DL, so I am wondering is there some DVD that we could download/rent/buy that would get them pumped up? Thanks! Sarah

Just yesterday they were getting the DL bug, so we watched Splash Mountain, Jedi Training and Calif Screamin.

Admittedly, we also poke a bit of fun at the late 80s fashions and hairstyles. lol
