Disney World Tickets

Let’s dream a little folks. :wizard:

If you live in the Mid-West or on the East Coast and you won one of the OMDD trips, which would you pick: Disneyworld or Disneyland?

I live in MD and am about 13 hours from Disneyworld. If we won, I’m thinking I’d want to to do Disneyland. While the park is smaller, outside of winning a trip that includes airfare, I don’t think we would be able to affordably swing this type of trip. Don’t know if we could entertain ourselves for a whole week, but there are lots of things to do in CA, so we could explore the area a bit.

And if airfare is flexible re: return, we could even spend a few days in San Diego. :banana:

Just wondering – since Disney has a character based on Captain Jack Sparrow at the parks, why isn’t there a Mad Hatter (from the new Alice movie)? Is this a licensing issue involving the Alice in Wonderland movie or does the actor need to give Disney permission to use their likeness at the parks?

Does anyone know the maximum height for the Ski Patrol zipline ride at Blizzard Beach? Just wondering if my daughter will be too tall this trip. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I’m going to Disney World in about a month. My mom and I will be at Disney for three days and we will be at Magic Kingdom all day on February 29th, which is One More Disney Day. I was thinking Epcot on the 28th then Animal Kingdom/ Hollywood Studios on March 1st. We’re probably going to the character meals Akershus and 1900 Park Fare for dinner on two of the nights.

I am planning a surprise for my friend that is getting married in a couple of months. They are both huge fans of Disney. My plan was to go around to as many characters as possible and have them autograph something (wedding guestbook maybe?) then take the characters picture with the guestbook and put both the autograph and the picture into a scrapbook. To go along with the scrapbook I was thinking that I could video the face characters giving marriage advice or saying congratulations.

I have some questions though-
Any tips on where to go to meet the most characters? As mentioned, we are planning on going to two character meals but any other tips about meeting characters would be much appreciated!
Any ideas on what the characters could sign for them? I was thinking a wedding guest book but I would love any other ideas.
For the video portion of this, any ideas on what questions I should ask the characters? Wedding advice? Etc.

I have been to Disney a lot but I have never been doing a project like this when I was there. So any help in much appreciated!

Thanks so much!
