The prices have changed. ha,ha just kidding.

I think you have everything and ithink your dad should surf the Disney home page, that should explain it's self.

my dad surfing the web page.....
that's funny! ha...
he can't even get his vcr to work...he called me up to look at it cause it wasn't working...and he had the cord coming from the out put of the vcr, connected to the input of the vcr......

2 cents worth:
Animal kingdom: Finding Nemo Musical

Water parks for water slides if they have not
indulged before. My spouse is 60 and has fallen
for water parks.

Have fun!

Consider ordering a set of the customized maps, listing all the newer rides as favorites....will give him a look at just how much has changed....

For MK, also note that by December, SM and TTA will be open again....

Also note that Splash Mtn was opened in '92. Getting to be a classic! And at the Studios, Star Tours was also opened early...89 or so...

Also note that DDP, Fast Passes, and Park Hoppers are all newer.....Particularly with the DDP, getting a list of new or changed resturants may be of interest....

Grand Gatherings may also be new....or at least for you....and cruises to view Wishes and Illuminations.... and Segway Tours.....and probably a few more things I missed....
