"Hi john, I just joined your affordable Disney group. My wife
and I have been planning a trip to Disney World in December.
When we received your last newsletter and saw the prices we
were just awed. However, I would like to clear up one point.
Are the prices quoted per room or per person?"

They are per room!

Space will be assigned on a first come-first served basis.
So members should log in today for contact info and more

A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR

Our Ticket agent has GREAT PRICES on tickets to Walt Disney
World and other Florida attractions!

"I thought I knew all the tips for saving money at WDW, even
being a member of the Magic Kingdom Club for over 15 years,
but just learning about [your ticket agent] saved our family
over $300!!! Thanks." Janet Handy, Bel Air, MD

"Plenty of roadside outfits in Orlando promise discounted
tickets, but most of them really want to rope you into a
time-share sales pitch in exchange for vouchers - accept at
your own risk. [Affordable Disney's ticket agent], though,
is legit." The New York Post, November 16, 2004.

FORGET paying too much for your Disney tickets! Keep that
extra money in YOUR pocket! Join our Disney family today.

NEWS FROM AROUND THE "WORLD"

"Blue Horizons is a new show that opens in May at SeaWorld
Orlando, where hundreds of workers are now crafting a 40-
foot-tall stage and an extension of the 14-foot-deep, see-
through wall enclosing the pool at the park's Whale and
Dolphin Stadium...

The focal point of Blue Horizons will be a retrained group
of dolphins that will vault as high as 25 feet out of the
water during a 20-minute theatrical show accompanied by a
high-energy soundtrack." (Source: Orlando Sentinel,
03/16/05) For the rest of the story, click here.

--------------------------------
Disney is using a Christian marketing campaign to promote
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe, based on Lewis' novel for children and Christian
allegory, will be released Dec. 9...

In the Narnia story, a lion named Aslan is a Christ-like
figure who offers himself as a sacrifice to save another
character. He is tortured and killed, and then resurrected
to transform Narnia into a heaven on Earth."

Disney has been criticized for years by religious leaders
for "betraying its family-values legacy by providing health
benefits to same-sex partners, allowing Gay Days at theme
parks (first week in June is Gay Week) and producing
controversial movies, books and TV programming through
Disney subsidiaries." (Source: Orlando Sentinel, 03/16/05)
