News From Around The "World"
"With more than 850 acres of lakes, 66 miles of canals, two
water parks and more than 60 swimming pools, Walt Disney
World offers a cool-down option wherever you roam." (Source:
Southern Living Magazine, 06/02/05) For the rest of the
story, click here.

"Later this month, Orlando International Airport passengers
will be able to enroll in a registered traveler program that
will save time at the security gates...
Those passengers who register as a "known traveler" --
submitting to a background check, a series of questions, and
iris and fingerprint scanning -- will be granted express
access at the airport's security checkpoint, avoiding long
lines and random secondary inspections...
Eventually, passengers may be able to subscribe to a
national registered-traveler network, which would grant them
express access at any airport's security checkpoint."

"Despite burgeoning demand and a rising dollar, Disney
Cruise Lines President Tom McAlpin said on Friday that the
Walt Disney Co... has no immediate plans to build a third
ship... The 12 cruises from the Port of Los Angeles to
Mexico's Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas were
arranged to mark Disneyland's 50th anniversary, and have
proved popular." (Reuters. 05/27/05) For the rest of the

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.

DISNEY CRUISE LINE
"With a swish of a wand, several Bibbidi Bobbidi Boos and
the turning of storybook pages, the brand new stage show
aboard Disney Cruise Line -- 'Twice Charmed: An Original
Twist on the Cinderella Story' -- immerses audiences in a
new rendition of the happily ever after story of Cinderella
and her Prince Charming.
Giving guests an opportunity to experience the story of
Cinderella in a whole new way, the Broadway-style show
recently made its theatrical debut in the Walt Disney
Theatre aboard the Disney Magic cruise ship, just in time
for the ship's special West Coast cruises honoring the 50th
anniversary of the Disneyland park...
After its debut, 'Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the
Cinderella Story' will continue to run aboard the Disney
Magic cruise ship throughout 2005, as the ship returns back
to her East Coast Caribbean itineraries." (Source: Disney
Cruise Lines, 06/07/05) For the rest of the story, click here.

Disney framed stock certificates are works of art. They
feature Walt Disney and the Disney characters. Unlike stock
brokers that require you to purchase several shares of
stock, OneShare sells one share of stock and mails you the
certificate. You can frame the stock certificate yourself or
OneShare will frame if for you at a nominal cost. Click here.
