Hi - looking for Jen -

saw in another post that you have a Disney brick. I bought one this year and I am going on a hunt for it in April. Have you seen yours? How hard is it to find?

Hope you don't mind me chiming in!

PD and I were able to get a brick this year. When we were at WDW in December we stayed at VWL. On our first day at the parks we went armed with a copy of the form they sent us showing a broad location as to where our brick was. We got off the boat from VWL at Magic Kingdom and headed over to the left of the entrance area. I was really wondering how we were going to find the brick because there really didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the layout, but it took us less than 30 seconds to find it. It did help that it still looked new and those around it were pretty beaten up after everyone had walked over them for years! It was kind of cool seeing it there. We have a couple of bricks over at DL and it's kind of fun knowing we'll be there for a while!

Have fun on your hunt!

I've always wanted a brick, but DH thinks it is stupid. :confused:

Does anyone know how much they cost and if they are still doing them? We may be back this summer, but maybe not until next summer. Maybe I could do it sneakily and show DH after it is already done so he couldn't protest, lol!

I'm not sure if they still have any out there. I don't know if they were just replacing the ones that got worn out or what but when PD first heard about it on the DIS he sent a fax VERY quickly (sorry, don't remember to whom) and we were one of the lucky ones who got one.

Ah, ok, might be out of luck then. I'll have to do some more investigating. Thanks for the info!

Hi Janet! I'm here! I'm here!! :0)

YES! Ours was installed WHILE we were there in September! I was soooooo happy! It was an anniversary gift for DH so I was sooooooooo excited it was installed & we still got to see it!

It's funny, because like Michael said, it's easy to pick out the new ones from the old ones because they are shiny & new...but ours was totally a recycled one because it wasn't all new & red & shiny!! It was kinda shiny...at least the words were, but the brick itself wasn't...but I don't care one bit! It just took us a little longer to find is all.

The map they had sent along w/the Certificate was pretty dead on, however, I did go to City Hall & ask them if they could give me more specifics...it was then I found out it wasn't laid yet & they gave me the phone number of the CM who was in charge of them. So if you have a hard time finding yours, go to City Hall.

Have fun searching! It's so awesome to have one there! DH was thrilled!!

I'm sure I must have stepped (softly) on it too. I noticed the new shinier bricks also and that's why I said I would've looked for it if DD wouldn't have been with me (too impatient). It couldn't have been too hard to find. You have a GREAT location!

We have two of them in Disneyland. Right at the center between Disneyland and DCA. They are the coolest things ever I think.

Based on your pictures and what I remember about my map, I think my brick is somewhere near yours!! I can't wait to look. I have to find my map (it is in a safe place...now if I can remember where that was!)

ACK!!!! I was just going to put my DL brick picture up (we've got 2 as well, but we keep forgetting to look for the new one!!) as I took the pic on NYE while wandering around down there. I updated my iPhone last week and just realized I accidentally deleted my photo album that it was in! DUH!! What an idjit!

We're going back down on Saturday (shhh...lunch at 33 to sign some sort of form) for PD's birthday dinner so we'll find the 2nd one and take pics of both!

I'm thinking we'll be bringing a laptop down with us (geez, how these contraptions control us!!) so I'll try and get it up ASAP!

Okay, Jen, I'm actually freaking out here at work....

I was looking at these two pictures and noticed that right by your right thigh there was a newish looking brick and you could read "California" on it. I then looked at the number of your brick and thought the number seemed familiar.
Then your DH is pointing at your brick and by his right knee THAT'S OUR BRICK!!!! Holy Smokes!

I have more that I haven't posted...I could send them to you if you wanted to see if I got yours in there...not sure if I've already asked you what yours said or not...
btw...Jason's wasn't there when I was there, but I know it's been laid since, however Kirsteen's was right by ours & I got her photos of her brick. It's fun that ours will be by each other!!

I can't remember EXACTLY what it said...I have to find the paper. It had our names on it...Charlie, Janet, Emily and Jack. I think it also said BECAUSE OF YOU (our wedding song) but I will check my papers. If you have other pics that would be great! At least now I have a starting point to look for my brick!
