Great job, Aaron. I bought the Blu-ray the weekend after it came out and am probably going to nab the 6-DVD set for completeness' sake. A thought just occurred to me. Maybe the general WDW one (Behind the Scenes) is being updated to include the Fantasyland expansion? Likewise, perhaps the Disney Cruise one is being updated to include the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy? Maybe that's why these aren't on the BD. Hmmm...

I just watched Ultimate Walt Disney World and to be honest...I'm not a fan. This is like the 1000000th Disney Park special that advertises the biggest and hottest attractions over and over. In this special the bigger thrill rides attractions get like a 5 minute segment each. I'm just tired of all of these specials being the same and looking at the same old stuff.

I think a real Disney World special would explore every little aspect of the Resort and not just the big must sees.

To all those looking to buy this, I highly recommend buying the six disc set instead of the single DVD or Blu-Ray. Walt Disney World: Behind The Scenes is a lot better overview of the parks in general than Ultimate Walt Disney World, talking about a brief history of the origins of Walt Disney World and building it in 1971, and about Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, the Cinderella Castle Dream Suite, Test Track, IllumiNations, Soarin', The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Tower of Terror, the Studio Tour, and others in a brief but informative length each. The Animal Kingdom special is also a very informative one in that it not only highlights the major attractions, but talks about the veterinary care of the animals and their habitats.

I'm glad I bought the sixth disc set right away, because after watching these three specials not included with the others, I feel cheated. :p I was especially disappointed in how much they glossed over Pirates and Haunted Mansion in the DL special compared to WDW's, especially since they're since such classics. Just skip the single Blu and three special DVD and get the six pack set.
