The Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection (Walt Disney Coleccion Maestra in Spanish and Collection Chefs-d’œuvre de Walt Disney in French-Canadian) was a line of VHS tapes and Laserdiscs released by Walt Disney Home Video from 1994 to 1999.

According to eBay, Disney’s “Black Diamond Collection” is valuable. These films were released between 1984 to 1994 and have the black diamond on the case or on the tape. The tapes could be worth anywhere from $50 to $250. Another logo to watch for is “A Walt Disney Classic” on the tapes.

Includes admission to Walt Disney World’s two water parks, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course with no blockout dates. Disney PhotoPass downloads and free standard parking are included. Up to 20% off select dining and merchandise in store or online at ShopDisney.com.

A company called Tip Top Media currently accepts old tapes for disposal but there may be a charge for this so please contact them for more information. VHS tapes and cassettes are now rarely accepted at recycling centres and charity shops and are generally sent to landfill.

It’s time to hit the parks. Because of the pandemic, you must make a reservation to go to Walt Disney World Resort parks. And it comes at a hefty price. A standard ticket starts at $109 for ages 10 and older ($104 for ages 3 to 9), and the actual price depends on the day you visit the park.

Epcot (stylized as EPCOT) is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. It is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its Parks, Experiences and Products division. The newly designed park, featuring two sections—Future World and World Showcase—opened as EPCOT Center in 1982.

Although Walt’s plans were tweaked a bit to get the park we see today, Epcot remains an iconic Disney World park, known for its geodesic sphere and, of course, the Walt Disney World Monorail. Epcot is essentially two parks in one.

At Walt Disney World Resort alone, you’ll find Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, Disney’s Hollywood Studios® and Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, plus Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water parks.
