shows. I can't get anyone to talk to on the phone at Disney

Celebrations end New Years. They will begin taking the
Christmas decorations down January 1, but there's a lot of
them. If you arrive the first week in January, you may still
be able to see some of them before they're all packed away.

For those with reservations on Northwest Airlines, these
comforting words from Steve Sears, Vice President Sales,
Northwest Airlines:
"Customers can continue to book travel on Northwest Airlines
with confidence. Although bankruptcy is never a first choice
option, it does provide the most prudent means for a
restructuring that will ensure transformation of Northwest
into a new-era carrier that is able to compete in the near
term and well into the future."
=================================================
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's Night of Joy:
Donna and I have never attended the celebration of Christian
music at the Magic Kingdom known as Night of Joy, but we
have read reviews about how some of the kids misbehave
there. Apparently, some teens are still out of control
according to this review of this year's celebration.
=================================================

scheduled to open February 2006. (Source: MarketWatch, 09/15/05)

NOTE: Links to newspaper articles change quickly and without
notice. If you receive a "File Not Found" error message,
search the newspaper's archives for the story. Certain

Priscilla writes:
"I'm planning a return trip to WDW Orlando and will be
trying the Magical Express for the first time. In the past we
always had carry on luggage and booked Mears. Do you know if
Magical Express accepts carry on luggage or will I need to
check it in?"
Priscilla went on to explain how she got an answer to her
first question:
"FYI- after fighting with Disney's electronic Phone service,
a human being was able to answer this question and the
answer is YES i'm allowed to bring with me carry-on luggage.
Also I booked a regular room at Pop Century, somewhere I
read that once there I can ask for an upgrade to my room
free if they have it. Am I right? How do I go about asking
just for an upgrade?"
You can always ask for a free upgrade during the slow
season. Just say you understand that Disney gives free
upgrades if available and ask if there is one available for
you.
=================================================
Sherry has a correction for where to buy Disney Dollars. I
had read that you could order them through WDW Mail Order
and published their phone number in issue #284:
"The Mail Order Department does not mail out Disney Dollars,
but I have the information for who does.
I was told that you can order from $1 up to $650 with a flat
$10 shipping fee. You can pay by personal check or money
order and the Disney Dollars will be sent to you via Federal
Express.
The address to order is:
Walt Disney World Ticketing
PO Box 10140

Cindy writes about the Magic Kingdom Barbershop:
"Hi John! Just wanted to share about the Barbershop in Magic
Kingdom. My husband and daughter have had their hair cut
there several times. They do have Mickey mouse shaped
glitter that they will sprinkle on your hair when they
complete your haircut. The colored hair gel can be applied
in several different ways, but most often in the shape of
Mickey Mouse. The barbershop brags that no two guests will
have the same design in hair gel in the same day.
The most exciting service they offer is children's first
haircuts (my daughter is lucky that her first three haircuts
were there). When they cut your child's hair for the first
time, they will give you a certificate commemorating the
haircut, save a lock of hair and give you a pair of Mickey
Mouse ears embroidered with "First Haircut" on the back. It
was a wonderful keepsake. The beautician that did my
daughter's first haircut covered her in Mickey stickers, so
my daughter was so busy pulling off the stickers that she
never even noticed that they were cutting her hair. They do
a fabulous job with kids.
If you are lucky, you may also get a chance to have the
barbershop quartet sing to you while you get a haircut. This
happened once to us and was a great piece of the magic!"

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.
