The opening of the new Cheetah Hunt coaster at Busch Gardens got us thinking… which park is better, Disney’s Animal Kingdom or Tampa’s animal themed park? We go over the pros, cons, rides and shows and try to help you find the right park for your family. We of course discuss the latest Disney news and talk about the unfortunate events that led to Disney dropping the Navy Seal Team 6 trademark. Thank you for joining us!

Disney Starwars Figures: Series 5

WDWNT on January 1, 1970

Right next to Muppets Star Wars was a sign displaying the 5th series of the Disney Star Wars line of figures. This is where they take classic Disney characters and and put them into the Star Wars universe. Before Vinylmation, these were my favorite Disney collectibles.  



Looks like this one has a decidedly Clone Wars feel to it. Like all the previous sets, Series 5 figures will be sold individually at an $8.95 price point.


Check out my article for Destination Disney at DestinationD.info for a review of the full Series 5 lineup.
