Would You Like the Chance to Own Disney World?by Heather Long | More from this Blogger 13 Sep 2006 05:30 AM While this is not a Disney specific title - it is actually quite exciting and being a huge fan of the game, I wanted to share with you the latest updates that will be released in the new Monopoly: Here & Now Edition.

The game will be officially released on September 14 - that's tomorrow. I think it's a great gift idea for the Disney lovers (although there is the Disney Princess Edition Monopoly and Disney Monopoly that my daughter already has) and Monopoly lovers alike. It's already on my Christmas list. Oh, and one more thing, the tokens in the game include:
