I liked the 50th ones from last year. Oh well, this makes it offical! Im going to DISNEYLAND!!!!

After all, it's a few days at a domestic theme park, not a two week trip around the world.

Originally Posted By Mickey4MePlease I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting my WDTC Package! Yes, There's alot of info...but its so much fun to sit down and read it over and over with the kids!! It hypes us up every time! The tickets are definitely plain compared to last year, but just think of them as something new for the scrapbook!! °o°

Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 ^^ Ok well mine didnt stink. They were great. I have to start a new scrapbook for this trip. It is going to be great. My DD hasnt seen the package yet, but when she does shell be so excited!! Why dont they send them over seas???
Originally Posted By debtee I don't know why WDT don't send them overseas?

I have phoned them and they say they don't ship oveseas?? Weird!

I'm guessing that many times, stuff never arrives. And those park tickets are negotiable instruments - anybody can use them. So WDTC probably determined it's better and safer to just hold the package at the hotel for the guest's arrival.
Originally Posted By debtee Yes I agree gadzuux I think it's for safety reasons they don't do it. Also as you say anyone can use them once in possession. However I have been buying items from the US on ebay for over 5 years.....nothing has EVER gone missing and it always arrives here to Australia within 7-10 days so the USPS works fine in my book!
