Rumblings from Hong Kong Disneyland

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Ciao from Hong Kong guys,

IMG_2653.JPGso here I am on a business trip which brought me, after a 23 hour flight from Italy, to Australia last week and which I arranged with a return stop over, for business and leisure in Hong Kong!

Why Hong Kong you ask (hey one has to live right? ;-)?

Do you have any idea of what a Disney theme park nerd like yours truly has to give himself as a “weenie” (there goes the first Disney word of the day ;-) ) to get his behinds all the other way to the other hemisphere???

IMG_2508.JPGOk ok, enough corny jokes for one single first blog entry (hey, they do have “Jungle river cruise” over here and those corny jokes, told by devoted Chinese- English sort of speaking cast members- got me right to the bones) lets get to the “meat” of the thing here; my personal (if anybody is interested) impression of Hong Kong Disneyland!

1 EuroDisney S.C.A. Share for $100

Euro Disney S.C.A. Paper ShareThe shares of EuroDisney S.C.A. might not be the investment some people are looking for but fans of Disneyland Resort Paris would get some paper once for their collection. The former paper shares can be easily obtained from sellers on Ebay, but one seller has big hopes for his one single share he is offering. I am not sure if he would ever be able to sell 1 paper share (still valid) for $100 while a regular share goes for around $0,12 a piece. Not the investment I am looking for.

When you click on the link you can check the $100 share out

It is a exception for sure as most paper shares go for about $5 to $10 on Ebay. And mostly these are multiple shares. I still would get them via my bank for $0,12 a piece and keep my fingers away from the $100 one.

The Disney Company shares on Ebay, again the nice paper once, go for up to $50 a piece. Only something that might appeal to the collectors out there as the regular price is around the $22 for 1 Disney Share.
