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"
"Universal Studios Japan may be the eastern outpost for "the
power of Hollywood," but these days the park is softening
its image in an effort to attract a wider range of visitors,
in particular families with young children, and turn its
business around...
It recently opened the Snoopy Action Stage, and the park has
dubbed 2005 Character Wonder Year to take advantage of its
kid-friendly lineup of animated characters, including those
from the Shrek movies, "Peanuts" and Sesame Street, and a
recent addition, Hello Kitty." (Source: Orlando Business
Journal, 04/03/05) For the rest of the story, click here.

"This year's ESPN Great Outdoor Games will be held at
Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex July 7-10, the
companies announced... The outdoor games are a compilation
of outdoor sports events and include target sports, timber
events and sporting dogs." (Source: Orlando Business
Journal, 03/28/05) For the rest of the story, click here.

"Dear John, Just thought I'd write you a quick note about
our quick Disney trip. We decided to give our children a
surprise trip to Disney the first weekend in November. We
arrived late Thursday night, went to Magic Kingdom on
Friday, EPCOT on Saturday, and MGM on Sunday hopping over to
do some favorite rides at Magic Kingdom after the afternoon
parade in MGM.
We've been many times and knew exactly what we wanted to see
and experience in such a short time. We swam and shopped on
Monday and headed out late Monday night. It was beautiful,
and the airline tickets for our family of six were extremely
cheap. It was the cheapest we've ever flown for, and it was
a direct flight. I was surprised that after the hurricanes
and with it being a weekend it was not more difficult to get
around, but the crowd was not that bad.
I originally had set up with Beth to stay at Port Orleans,
but then others decided to go with us and we all got a condo
together. Beth was wonderful about the cancellation. She has
always been very helpful whenever I've had any questions
about anything. She must truly enjoy what she does. Thank
you for your newsletter and tips."
Our members and I are all very grateful for Beth's hard
work. Thanks for the pat on the back!
