Fan Club Visits All The Parks In One Trip

By Sylvia Hui, Associated Press

Keith Simpson and his six friends from Sydney -- all Disney fanatics sporting matching polo shirts that show Mickey ears over Australia's map -- couldn't be happier.

The group was in Hong Kong on the second leg of its Disney-themed round-the-world tour, realizing months of planning for a 32-day trip that takes them to every Disney park in the world -- from Tokyo to Hong Kong to Paris, to the U.S. flagships, Disneyland in Anaheim and Walt Disney World near Orlando, Fla.

The world trip cost about $4,661, including discounted rates for hotels, transfers and passes to the parks, Godfrey said. The Tokyo leg cost an extra $526, because the air miles went over the prescribed mileage limit in the round-the-world air fare.
