I hope I’m not turning into a Scrooge, but I find the Disney’s Magical Fireplace DVD very lame.
Here is what Disney writes about it:
Disney’s Magical Fireplace
· Disney brings the magic of the season into your home with this exclusive virtual Yule Log DVD.
This DVD also features two separate audio tracks – natural crackling fire sounds and a great holiday music soundtrack that includes two favorites by Mickey and the Gang. Bring some Disney magic to your fireplace – it makes the perfect stocking stuffer for the holidays!
I’ve seen the basic idea before, and I think most of you have, too… An endless-loop video of a roaring fire in a home fireplace. Disney has “plussed” it with a bad-looking Tink CGI flying around (apparently not even using the newer, better-looking depiction of her from the newer Tinker Bell sequels), plus fireworks. Fireworks inside a fireplace? Kids, don’t try this at home! There are Hidden Mickeys inside the fireplace, a thought that’s very disturbing to me: Maybe Judge Frollo enjoys imagining cartoon characters in fire, but nobody in my Mouse House does.
You can choose to hear either of two different audio tracks. One is a standard soundtrack of a roaring fire. The other track features old, repurposed Christmas songs, Disney-style.
I’m sure some people will like this, but not me. What do you think about it? If your computer is Flash-enabled, check out the short video about it here. Reply if you agree with me or if you think I’m a bit too much “Bah humbug!” about it.

This is a very popular forum on the Disney Echo forums, so I’m also bringing it here in the hope that it might help people here on this website as it does on the other one.
Whenever she’s needed most, a light spirit appears, glowing brightly through the darkness. Her optimism gives us new hope, her tender smile eases our fears, her fairy magic sprinkles pixie dust among us drying our tears, reminding us how God’s mercy flows down on us and His many blessings we’ve received throughout our life, and how we share this with our family and friends in their time of need.
Just as she was renewed by those who believe in her, Tinker Bell shares her pixie dust with us, Let us ease each other’s hearts here in this Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust forum to help bring comfort, prayer, and good wishes to all needing these gifts.
Tink’s happiness sounds to us like the tinkling of little bells. She flies merrily around us, her wings fluttering without end, continuously sprinkling pixie dust all around. There! She’s touching you, too — I just know it!
May each of us keep that spirit and magic within us.
Leave a reply if you are in need of faith, trust & pixie dust — as well as good thoughts and prayers — please reply. Others are encouraged to reply as well, to give you encouragement.
A big tip of the mouse-eared hat goes out to Disney EchoEar Sandra / mamaloya for suggesting we add this. As she wrote, it is “an area where people could possibly share prayer requests or trials that they are going through. Many of us are having health, financial, or family problems. I know it isn’t exactly a Disney topic, but it sure helps to know that the people here care and can post uplifting and encouraging words. If it was in its own place, people could avoid it if that is not their thing or others could seek out words of encouragement easier whenever they may need it.”
If you need a sprinkle of Pixie Dust in your personal life, you can have the benefit of that here. Leave a reply.

This is a good place to share some of the professionally-shot photos we’re getting on our Disneyland PhotoPass PhotoCD.
It hasn’t arrived yet, so these are screen shots until we get it sent to us.
This was taken Tuesday after we ate breakfast with Minnie and her friends in the Plaza Inn.
Looks like one of us isn’t buying into the bit that Tink landed in our hands. 
I guess we thought we were on a roller coaster.
You never know who you’ll meet at Disneyland, although you can be pretty sure you’ll see Mickey there…
…Minnie, too!
Excuse me, folks… Which way to the Matterhorn?
Oh, there it is!
It was a great day on Tuesday!
Everybody wants to get into the picture!
More to come — but that was all the professionally-shot photos on Tuesday!
Here are pictures shot of us at Disneyland by Disney photographers using their own professional cameras.
