I saw a link to that from one of the banner ads... does anyone know if it's any good?

I've wanted to see things like Fantasmic on video ever since I saw it live... and if it really is as good as the site says it is I wouldn't mind paying $12 for that stuff.

I would be careful if I were you. It sounds like a scam.

Check tomorrow or Monday to see if it really is a one-day sale. If they continue to say that it's a one-day sale, you know that they're lying about that, so they may be lying about something on the DVDs...?

This 'One day sale' has been on for months. But I'm not sure if they are totally untrustworthy as they at one point sponsored Mouse Guest Weekly podcast, who I have never had any reason to distrust.

I imagine it's probably a real set, however don't expect the audio/video quality of the Treasures line; or the bonus content.

Does the Treasures line have Disney World stuff?

I'm not sure how much of that material the Treasures line actually features. I can see some reference to Tomorrowland on that website, and there is a Tomorrowland set in the Treasures. As for the rest of it, I can't be sure. I don't really know this program well enough to comment.

The DVD covers pictured on the site clearly say "Fan DVD", though, so this is hardly an official Disney product. However, that's not to say they don't contain the advertised content. I was mostly just saying they arne't likely to have been transferred from the best sources, or received any kind of real restoration; the way most good Disney releases do (the Treasures line being among the best, for the most part).

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got this for my birthday, it was the worst thing ever, that should not even wear the disney name.
The overall quality is bogus at best!!!!!!!
When it comes to brains, I got the lion-share,
but when it comes to bruth strength, I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool

Hmm... Anyone know where else I can get a video of Fantasmic from? I would download one off YouTube but the quality on those is horrible...

Ya, do NOT buy this. I did. It took forever to ship and when it finally did arrive (something like a month and a half later), several of the ride tours did not work on the first disc I put in. I got so frustrated I pulled it out and contacted the "company" desiring a new set that worked.

I never heard from them and ended up through them all away. Just don't bother. It is a waste of time and money and you'll just end up frustrated.
To all who come to this happy place, Welcome...Disneyland is your land...
