Meals and snacks will be served on the plane. Day 2**Jun 8 Taipei Upon arrival at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, an Air & Sea Travel representative will greet us and escort us to our hotel. Day 3**Jun 9 Taipei (B, D) Today, we can enjoy our time in Taipei Zoo, one of the largest municipal zoos in the world. As the zoo is home to more than 400 animal species, rest assured there’s plenty to see! The zoo includes 7 indoor exhibits, each with different themes. At the Insectarium you’ll meet several butterfly species unique to Taiwan. Next, you won’t want to miss the hugely popular Koala House and Penguin House. There are also two giant pandas from China! These animals are the Zoo’s resident celebrities, so be sure to check them out! The star of the zoo used to be the Asian Elephant “Grandpa Lin Wang,” who lived to the ripe old age of 86. Lin’s longevity—20 years older than most Asian Elephants—was hailed by zoologists as a miracle. After his death, Lin was stuffed and put on display in the Education Center, and now enjoys the distinction of being the world’s largest stuffed Asian Elephant! Apart from the indoor exhibits, the Taipei Zoo also features 8 outdoor exhibit areas. The latter are divided according to geographical environment, and possess educational value both as exhibits and ecological environments. The “Children’s Zoo,” “Formosan Animal Area,” and “African Animal Area” are the most popular, according to Internet voting. The Formosan Animal Area includes endemic species like Formosan sika deer, Taiwan macaque, and Swinhoe’s pheasant. These animals can only be found in Taiwan—definitely worth a look! Afterward, we will move to Taipei 101 located in Xinyi business district, the most developed business district in the capital city of Taipei. Taipei 101 is a landmark skyscraper, formerly known as the Taipei World Financial Center and formerly ranked as the tallest building in the world from 2004 to 2010. Today, you can take the Guinness World Record breaking high-speed elevator to the observatory on the 89th floor, traveling at 1,010 meters/min (60.6KPH), taking only 37 seconds to ascend to the observatory. The observatory deck provides an unobstructed view of the city in all directions. Tonight, we will enjoy our lunch at Taiwan’s iconic Din Tai Fung, a world-famous, award-winning restaurant specializing in Xiaolongbao (small steamed dumplings). Day 4**Jun 10 Taipei (B, L) After breakfast, our first stop is Golden Pineapple Castle, where we will have an enjoyable Hands-on DIY Experience Making Pineapple Cake. We will taste traditional Taiwanese Beef Noodle for today’s lunch. Next, we will drive to Shifen Old Street, a bustling hub for those eager to get a glimpse of an old railroad town which still retains the charm of yesteryear. Originally built to transport coal, the Shifen Old Street stop has now become one of the most popular on the Pingxi rail-line. The Sky Lanterns at Shifen Old Street were once used as a signaling system for those living and working in the railroad industry. Today, we can paint wishes with calligraphy before releasing the lanterns into the sky. Tonight, we will take a tour of the bustling Night Market, where local merchants sell snacks and provide entertainment. We will then walk around and experience Taiwan’s nightlife. Enjoy dinner on your own in the night market before returning to the hotel. Day 5**Jun 11 Taipei Hong Kong (B, D) This morning, we will transfer to the airport for Hong Kong. Hong Kong is one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities where East truly meets West. It is one of the world's most significant financial centers, shopping and food paradise cities. We will be greeted by an Air & Sea Travel representative and transfer to our hotel. Day 6**Jun 12 Hong Kong (Disneyland) (B) Today, enjoy your time in Hong Kong Disneyland. It is the largest theme park in Hong Kong, followed by Ocean Park Hong Kong. Enter a magical kingdom inspired by fairy-tale dreams and explore 7 lands—Adventureland, Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point, Toy Story Land, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Main Street, U.S.A.—filled with beauty, excitement and Disney Characters. Day 7**Jun 13 Hong Kong (B) Full day at leisure. “Shop till you drop; eat till you overflow!” Enjoy this free day to shop around the city and eat whatever looks interesting. Day 8**Jun 14 Hong Kong Taoyuan Honolulu (B) After breakfast, we will visit Victoria Peak, a major tourist attraction of Hong Kong that offers views over Central Hong Kong, Victoria Harbor, Lamma Island and the surrounding islands.

    DVC-Disney Files-Spring 2013.Indd

    spring 2013 • Volume22 • Number1 TWENTY YEARS OF DISNEY VACATION CLUB® The entertainment world raises a lot of interesting questions. Like why do we talk about people being “on” TV shows but “in” movies? Why do unscripted shows employ writers? Why are “Jimmy Kimmel Live” episodes previously recorded? And why in the world do so many bad guys insist on messing with Liam Neeson? A new attraction now open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios takes a cannon-shot at the fi rst of these questions and adds another: What does it take to sail with Captain Jack Sparrow? This immersive new addition to the Park is called “The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow,” and it puts you very much “in” the Pirates of the Caribbean fi lm saga, surrounding you in the action and putting you to the ultimate pirate test. You’ll fi nd my interview with one of the attraction’s Walt Disney Imagineers on pages 3-4, the fi rst of many pages in this edition to answer intriguing questions. For example, how can one work Disney into their home decorating without turning their living space into a Theme Park? For that, we turn to pages 5-6, where HGTV star and veteran Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival presenter Genevieve Gorder answers this and other questions Members submitted through our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/disneyvacationclub). But what if subtlety isn’t your style? Then turn to pages 8 and 11, where some incredibly talented Members provide inspiration. There are so many answers in this edition of your magazine that a list of questions could’ve served as a table of contents.
  • Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Financial Report and Shareholder Letter

    Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Financial Report and Shareholder Letter

    Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Financial Report And Shareholder Letter January 2012 Dear Shareholders, Fiscal 2011 was a year of great accomplishment for The Walt Disney Company, marked by creativity and innovation across our businesses globally, record financial results and numerous important steps to position the Company for the future. While 2011 brought us so much to cheer about, it was also marked by profound loss, with the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve’s incredible stewardship of Pixar, and his decision to sell Pixar to Disney in 2006, brought Steve into the Disney family, as a board member, a shareholder, a mentor, and a friend, and we were so lucky for all that he represented and all that he contributed. Disney, ESPN, ABC, Pixar, and Marvel are an amazing collection of brands that grow stronger every day as new platforms and new markets provide enormous new opportunities for high quality content and experiences. To that end, we are fortunate to have a talented group of employees who are committed day in and day out to building our brands around the world. Since becoming President and CEO in 2005, I have focused on three strategic priorities: creating high-quality family content, making experiences more memorable and accessible through innovative technology, and growing internationally. In fiscal 2011, net income attributable to Disney was a record $4.8 billion, an increase of 21% over last year, and revenue was a record $40.9 billion, up 7% from last year. Diluted earnings per share increased by 24% to a record $2.52. I’m particularly gratified by our outstanding performance in fiscal 2011, given the challenging global economic environment.
