    All about $$
    Charged people $200 to buy it, now $10 for a sovereign of it. How much did and will they make?

    What does this mean for the bricks at Disney Anaheim? I have 6 bricks there ☹

      SIX !!! I tried to get one for my grandmother before she passed and they sold out. That’s ANOTHER THING, they needed to put a single brick limit to these greedy grubby self serving people with no compassion for others.

    Getting steamrolled by some jerk planners on something so part of my Disney experience is devastating . I’m sure it will fester into a bitter feeling and cause all of us to think twice about anytime we want a vacation. Loyalty is a one way street with Disney.

  4. We are very disappointed with The Removal of The Disney Walk Around Bricks, which I purchased on my Honeymoon @ Walt Disney World, May 1995; and Dedicated to my deceased, Grandson, Peter-Jerome.

    My husband and I bought a brick for my parents. They went to Disney from Pennsylvania every winter and would go visit their brick. My dad passed away in September and this breaks my heart they are removing them. I won’t be able to visit their brick and remember the thrill it brought my dad to visit it and see his name right there in front of him. So disappointing!

    Saddened by the loss of the connection to so many visits to our brick through the twenty five years it has been there. It was always magical for us, the kids and grandkids to see the memory of those wonderful visits to the Magic Kingdom through the years. As said so eloquently in a previous post, we have many photos of our family growing up next to our brick. I wish we could get it – the age, wear and patina make it all the more special!

    Am sorry to see the brick go,,,it has been a source of much family pleasure over the years..our kids were young in 93… and we have pictures with them with it as they grew…both kids are now in their late 20’s and get Disney park passes every year..our daughter now lives in Florida and is a teacher , she and our son spend all their family vacation time at the parks and our daughter is there at least once a week with family and friends,,,

    I understand that change has to happen. Glad to have the opportunity to get a commemorative brick, However the bricks down the walk along the lagoon are in perfect shape. Why can’t we take our original brick if it hasn’t been touched? It’s so sad that years of memories are being removed.

    I don’t understand why people are complaining, we were told the bricks were only guaranteed for 10 years when we bought ours, we’ve now had it in place for 21 years, can’t complain at that, and $10 for a replica is a bargain. People just like to knock Disney.

    This is just another example of Disney’s money grabbing! These bricks were already paid for back when purchased. Yes they probably get wear and tear but reselling a commemorative brick to those that purchased them already is a crime. This is surely not the company that Walt or Roy ran, that’s for sure.

    I bought the brick when they first offered it. I’m sad to see the bricks go and also have pictures of my kids near our brick. But, in defense of Disney, we were told it would only be there for 10 years. So I’m happy it was there as long as it was. People who have issues with it being removed and Disney changing the look and feel of the entrance… think about if Disney never changed anything…there would be no need to go back, to experience new and exciting things. It’s the price of progress and new experiences that those families today long for. If we’re not changing, we’re stagnating.

      I agree! Thankful I got to see it way longer than was promised. Did they raise the price? I think I paid $99 for it – someone mentioned $200. Last time we went honestly most of the fonts were worn down and hard to read and looked ready to be replaced – looked kind of bad but still fun to hunt. And it’s silly to think they are going to painstakingly chisel carefully each edge to get each brick out – come on people. I’m happy to pay the $10 to get my replacement and see it every day.

    Very upset that my 3 bricks will be trashed. Bought 2 in 94 and one more in 96 at $50 a piece. The 2 were right in front of the Magic Kingdom where the monorail exits. The 3rd one was at the ticket and transportation center. Now i have to pay another $30 to get a souvenier of the 3 i already paid for. Then it says while supplies last. We’ve been going there every year since 1975 and they got enough of my money. I wont be able to get there this year so i guess my pictures and certificates they sent me will have to do. So very sad and it breaks my heart. Not happy at all

  13. Jamie

    I bought 2 in 94 for $50 a piece and one more in 96 for another 50.

  14. Jamie

    I bought 2 in 94 and 1 more in 96 and they never said that they would only be there for so many years

    I had one of those bricks but instead of WDW mine was at DLP and it was removed a couple of years ago. It was in perfect state though but the whole entrance to the park was being redone. I wish they had offered this option so that I would have been able of keeping a physical memory of my stone but they didn’t. So sad ☹
