Congratulations to….

Steve Jacobs

Your 2010 Land of Mickey

Club Member of the Year!

 Steve Jacobs has been an active member of The Land of Mickey chapter since its inception in April 1992.  He is a founding member of the group and has served in many capacities over the years.  Steve wrote the first The Land of Mickey newsletter for many years as well as serving as Co-President with his wife Debby for two terms.  He is currently Vice President in charge of membership.

Steve’s love of all things Disney comes from his passion for imagination and creativity that Walt developed so many years ago and still represents the company today.

Among his collectible treasures are over 200 Disney license plates and an extensive Disney Railroad/Carolwood/transportation memorabilia as well as many Disney theme park items.  His most valuable treasures, however, are the many friendships that have developed and grown over the years as being part of The Land of Mickey.

Congratulations to Steve for being selected as our 2010 Chapter Member of the Year.

Mickey sat down with Bob Iger recently ----

---- and had a long due conversation. As he was no longer content with his only role as Disney’s iconic emblem, he asked to get back into action. A new video game coming this fall will give him that opportunity. The video game is called Epic Mickey and is being developed by Disney’s Junction Point Studios and is scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2010.  MORE….

Closest Supermarket to WDW is Closing  ----

---- Goodings at the Crossroads, which is right across the street from the Downtown Disney hotels, is the closest grocery store to Walt Disney World. When it closes that honor will go to the Publix near the Gaylord Palms and HWY-192. There’s also a Publics in the Williamsburg area, which is just past SeaWorld on the Central Florida Parkway. If you want to go a little further there area also a couple of nearby Super Walmarts.
