Walk around the World Bricks!

[mdearmas]

Is it true they started selling them again? If so does anyone have any idea how much they are selling for? Any Info would be much appreciated.
:goofy:

I have not heard of them starting to sell them again, but when they were on sale, they were $100 for a 10 year term.

Where did you get this info from? This is highly unlikely, but they certainly seem to be more popular then the Leave A Legacy tiles, esp with the Intercot crowd. I'm sure they would make money if they reinstated the program...

Interesting...I'm sure this is a surprise for many people including myself.

Have to say, it's not like the Mouse to not advertise something which would sell so easily.

At $300 a pop, I don't think they will sell so easily. I think it's more about filling some unused space than anything else, HOWEVER I will say that my brick replaced someone elses. So, maybe they are looking to reissue.

Also, the paperwork specifically states that the Walk Around the World is no longer available, but then goes on to give details about getting a brick. It's somewhat confusing. They have also been selling these for some time now this is not new news.

We received our brick from family for our wedding in 1996.
We haven't checked on it in a year or two. I guess we will have to next month. Ours is down the walkway towards the GF.

[dumbo ears]

well i haven;t heard anything so its prolly ust a rumor but if they are id love to buy one.

[jedigrrrl]

WHAT?!?!? they're replacing old bricks with new ones?!?!? Mine has a prime location under a tree near the entrance to the monorail in MK.

It's 13 years old.

I'd be so sad.:confused::(

I've often wondered about them, but never asked......I would really like to get one....did I miss a definate answer to the question..."are they bringing the chance to purchase them back"

Very strange indeed. Considering the check I wrote out was for $295 and was made out to WDW if I remember correctly.

What's even stranger is the certificate I got in the mail shortly after with my brick number and location.

Well, I didn't replace yours, that's for sure. I'm not near monorail station at MK.

We just got back from WDW and re-found our brick we purchased in 1995. It was moved a couple of years ago during some construction. I know we spent right around a hundred dollars for it then. It is very close to the beginning of the walkway to the resort buses almost under the mononrail. I remember signing a contract that stated it could be removed after 10 years.

We found ours from our honeymoon in 1996 last week too. It is WAY down the beach towards the GF. It is really quite a walk..lol. ;)

Here is a pic of how it looks this long out.

Some of them down there were in really bad shape due to a low spot in the walkway. Water has settled on them and they look terrible. We are lucky ours is down from that area.
