assistant: As card-carrying members of "Flamingo Fanciers of America" we are
pleased that The Walt Disney World Resort Company sees fit to change the
color of Cinderella's Castle to that of our favorite bird.  As a continuation
of their show of good taste, we sincerely hope that when the redecoration is
completed, and the moat is refilled, they move a large portion of the
flamingo flocks from Discovery Island to the moat, where the color of the
castle will properly and tastefully complement the colors of the flamingos.

There was a time earlier this year that Kay and I was going to be

Write your reply.

assistant: ,
The person in the stores does not know the rules.  I would recommend anyone
who has the FREE MKC card from their employer's read the membership book you
get with the card... and take the book with you to WDW or to the Disney
Stores... the 10% discount IS AVAILABLE FOR THE STANDARD MKC CARD.  If they
do not give you the discount... show the booklet... or ask for a supervisor.
The only difference between the MKC card and the MKC "Gold Card"... is that
you get a "personalized gold card", a travel bag, and a luggage tag (that you
can get free from Disney Travel) and a slightly upgraded magazine that has
ll
the same information as the free magazine that comes with your standard MKC
card (if you filled out the registration card and either you or your employer
returned it to Disney... you should be getting a free MKC magazine).  These
are the ONLY differences between the MKC standard and MKC Gold cards.... not
to mention the added cost of paying for the "Gold Card".
I just called the "employee benefits" office at Disney (since I am an
"independant contractor" that works for the Imagineering division of Disney),
and they confirmed that the ONLY ADDITIONAL BENEFITS THE GOLD CARD MEMBERSHIP
OFFERS IS THE BAG, TAG, PERSONALIZED CARD, & UPGRADED MAGAZINE.  Just compare
the advertisement for the "Gold Card" in your Disney Channel Magazine, or in
the MKC benefits book you get from your employer... and compare the benefits
the advertisement lists... with the benefits listed in the book.  If you can
live without your name on a plastic card, a travel bag, and a glitzier
magazine... and the cost... then the standard card is all you need.  If you
want to throw away about $60 of your hard earned money for such items... then
by all means... go for the "Gold Card".
If you are looking for discounts at the stores, for park admission, and for
travel specials and discounts... then the standard card is all you need.

Write your reply.

assistant: ith
The FREE card gives you the following:
Discounts on park admission
Discounts on travel packages
10% discount at Disney Stores and certain "in park" stores
Disney Catalog Discounts
Regular MKC magazine (slightly upgraded quality in "gold card" kit but same
                      info is in both magazines).
The ONLY things you get additional with the "GOLD CARD":
Personalized plastic "Gold Card"
Travel Bag
Luggage Tag (also available free from Disney Travel)
Upgraded Magazine
If anyone tells you that only the "Gold Card" is given the 10% discounts in
the stores... read your MEMBERSHIP BOOK you recieved when you got your
standard MKC card (you do get the discount).  Then demand to see a
upervisor.
This goes both for the Disney Stores and the "in park" stores that give a MKC
card discount (not every store does... but any store that offers the discount
for the "gold card" offers the SAME discount for the standard card).
If you want the four items given with paying your $60 for the "gold card"
membership... then by all means "go for it".  But if you are looking for the
maximum discounts available ONLY... then just get the standard MKC card.

I agree with you fully.  The "Employee Benefits" office at Disney Corporate
confirms the same thing.
Also remember to fill out the "registration" card that is attached to the MKC
cards... that way you get the FREE magazine that has all the important
information that is also in The Disney Magazine (it has less articles but all
the same discount information... in the FREE one I mean).
