"Walk Around the World" bricks available!

**Magical JenK** · 05-31-2007, 01:29 PM

I don't know if any of you caught this on other boards or not, so I thought I'd put it here too as we all LOVE Disney so much....

You know those personalized bricks that make up sidewalks right outside of MK? Well, they are for sale again! Someone posted on DIS that she saw a "sandwich board" type sign by a customer service booth outside near where the onsite busses pick up. Apparently, they have about 20,000 bricks they want to fill up!!

You can call Disney's Walk Around The World @ (407) 824-7890 & request the form (application & legal agreement) to be faxed to you. The recording does say that the program stopped in 2000, but they are offering it again!!New bricks are $295. Name change fee for existing bricks $100.

I left a message on Monday & got the emails from "Dean" yesterday morning! I faxed my paperwork & my cc had a pending charge that afternoon. Many people are posting receiving phone calls from Disney (either Denise or Dean for the most part) & then receiving the emails. But I just left my email address on my message.

Not sure if I can post a link to a thread, so I won't, but IF you wanted to read the thread it's on the DIS under Resorts & the name is Personalized Bricks at Polynesian...post #11 starts the "yes, they are selling them again" portion!!

Just thought I'd share!!

Wow! That would be so cool. Yes! Post the link!

Wow, another thing to try and work into my budget! Is there a toll free number? If not I'll have to wait until I'm home. I don't think I could justify making the call from work!

Here is the thread on DIS:

As for a toll-free number, no there was not...but there were plenty of people on the DIS willing to PM you the forms. I would, but honestly, my lunch is almost over & that could just be a landslide to try to keep up with!

Check out the thread & see if someone could send you the forms & then you could fax it over today! Some people have also posted their photos of the current bricks...it's soooo fun!!

I had a hard time figuring out what to put on there, but I ended up with:

Stay Magical

Soooo many surprises for Steve this year...first the trip, then MNSSHP & now the brick!! Wooo hoo!!

That is soooooo awesome! Now...the hard part....figuring out what to put on there!! Sadly, no slogans so no Sunshine Rewards Rocks or anything like that!! DANG!!

They said it should take about 6-8 weeks (or 2-3 months depending on the post), so HOPEFULLY, ours will be ready & there for us when we arrive in September!!

I called and got a bit of a run around. The Walk around the World people answered and told me to contact guest services to get transfered to guest communications. I was told guest communications only works by email or snail mail. So I try to email, the email address is invalid. So I call back, get transfered to the leave a legacy people who told me to call 'Walk around the world'. So I called and nobody picked up this time so I left a message. Hopefully I'll be able to get in, I would love to get one for our wedding!
