The Reach of Disney

Some of the VMK people who came here from DISboards or Micechat after my post on Saturday are calling for a boycott of Disney if they close down the Virtual Magic Kingdom next month as planned. Well, kids, it didn't work for the Southern Baptists who tried to get Disney to stop being nice to their gay employees, but if you want to go for it, here's a partial list of the companies you are going to have to avoid patronizing as part of your boycott:

Fortunately for local sports fans, they sold their interests in the Anaheim Ducks and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, so those are still good.

[Disney vacation packages]

I recently came across your blog and have been reading about places to stay in Orlando. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

[Orlando Vacation Rental Homes]

Yes I agree, and we also have near other parks like Universal, Island of Adventure and Busch Garden in Tampa

[Orlando Vacation]

Just wanted to leave a post that there is more to Orlando vacations than Disney. I know it is a great attraction because it caters to kids and the kid in all of us but there are other theme parks over there too. The newest one is probably the Holy Land Expeience. It was just bought by CTN TV. But there are also others like Sea World and a host of dinner theaters to select from.

The great thing about Orlando vacations is the fact that there is really no off season. The weather is great year round.

Enjoy!
