Walt Disney World: It's Not Just for Kids

My documents came yesterday!  Is there a nice view than seeing an envelope from DCL or WDW in your mailbox?  I don’t think so.  I have to say, I really like the way Disney Cruiseline does their documents.  Rather than the mass of paper WDW sends you, DCL’s documents are in a pretty spiral bound [...]
