    That's a GREAT idea!

    We are reading parts of Be Our Guest as part of our curriculum. Realityland, Designing Disney, and Guide to Epcot are the other books we are reading along with various articles.

    I had some boring classes in college that should have been better - but the profs were bad.

    Is he/she making it a fun class?

    The class is still a class with lots of work, but I think the dynamics between the teacher and the students makes all the difference. About half of the class had the same teacher for Speech last semester so we know him fairly well. Also most of the class was friends before hand so we know even though there is a lot of work, it will be a blast!!

    What books are you reading for class?

    I would suggest the Imagineers guide to the parks. There is a separate book for each park, with lots of great pictures, drawings and information beyond what normal tourism type books or travel books have.

    I don't remember the exact title but it has Imagineer in the title.

    Like others have said, that's one cool class idea and have a great trip!

    It was incredibly, amazingly, terrificly,spectacular!! I have fallen in love with Disney. I'm trying to work it in that I can do a Prof. Internship after I graduate. At first I couldn't understand why so many of my peers had gone down to Disney over and over...but now I get it!! I love it and I'm looking forward to go back sometime soon!!

    I'm so glad you had such a great time! I hadn't been to WDW for 12 years, then my hubby and I got to go in December to celebrate our 7th Anniversary. It was almost like going for the first time again. Plus, it was my hubbys first time going! I have always been a huge Disney fan, and traveled to Disneyland many times, but I became super addicted after our trip to WDW. I got my hubby addicted now too I am now trying to get back there in the next year or two if possible. It's such an amazing and magical place!
    Dreaming of Disney World every day, until I can get back there again!

    i know what you mean--i'm hooked! I definitely was the typical tourist--trying to get everything in, but I think that when I go back I will definitely be able to just sit back and enjoy the Disney atmosphere and culture. One thing I really loved doing toward the end of the trip is sharing some of my Disney-freak knowledge--I basically gave one couple a quickie tour of MK--it was awesome!!
