Thank-You<\/h2>\n

\"Santa<\/p>\n

At this time of the year, we do an annual Holiday Support Drive to help either fill in financial gaps or get a head-start on the new year.<\/p>\n

Your donations go toward (but are not limited to) the monthly operating costs of the Disney Experience<\/em>, new equipment, new software, replenishing stock for donation gifts<\/a>, organizing giveaways<\/a>, supplies for creating new projects\/tutorials, and more.<\/p>\n

Most of all, your donations help keep everything FREE for everyone, and with your continued support<\/a>, we can make sure that this site doesn’t suffer the same fate as other awesome Disney fan sites that have been lost to the Internet void. We love this website, and we don’t want it to ever go away. We love what we do, and we love you, our guests.<\/p>\n

We deeply appreciate all of your donations, and we thank all of you who have helped support the Disney Experience<\/em> over the years. Without you, we certainly wouldn’t have been able to go on as long as we have (over 20 years!). Some of you have been very generous in the past, and it’s been unbelievable.<\/p>\n

Cool New Things<\/h2>\n

\"Papercraft<\/a><\/p>\n

Because we have to put forth the majority of the costs from our own pocket, we have to use a good portion of our time earning the extra money that keeps this website going. That gives us less time to spend creating content for you. But, with your support, we can continue focusing on creating and doing cool new things!<\/p>\n

As the Coronavirus surges yet again, it’s important to stay at home and practice physical distancing. And, what better way is there to pass the time than to do some crafts!?<\/p>\n

This year, we explored cross stitching<\/a>. We made a few unique cross stitch patterns<\/a> based on our classic icon<\/a> designs as well as a tutorial<\/a> for beginners. We made new desktop wallpapers<\/a>, we created several Disney Villainous gaming accessories<\/a>, we designed some fun coloring books<\/a>, we reviewed<\/a> several Disney products, and more. And, of course, work continued on the DeAgostini<\/em> X-Wing model kit<\/a>, which will be concluded in 2021.<\/p>\n
