I even think the narrarator was from the old videos of years ago. Kudos to whoever produced it for getting back to the roots of presenting what a WDW vacation should be about - quality time with your family, instead of the "in your face" with the thrills .

To me every year it seems you get less, and less useful information with these DVD's It even contained scenes that were used for the Jazz Club. You remember the Jazz Club that use to be in PI. Oh, that's right, how will anybody know that now that there isn't a Pleasure Island anymore. I use to love getting these in VHS, and it was really great when they went to DVD, with such a long format. I just don't think they're so great anymore. Only my opinion. I guess I should be greatful they don't charge me for it.
