It's certainly not just Air Canada. I don't remember for
certain, but I think it has always been standard airline
practice with overseas travelers, even before 9/11.
Certainly you have to show your passport at check-in (and
would not be allowed to board without one). It just speeds
up the process if they already have the number in their
records.

Considering what it COSTS to visit Disneyland, etc. these
days, why would anyone be willing to put up with the hassle?
Disneyland in California is making a big thing out of its
fiftieth anniversary this year, but I haven't noticing them
rolling back their prices to the original ones as an
advertising gimmick! IIRC, when they first started the "all
rides included along with admission" policy - a year or so
after they opened - it cost something like $5 for children,
$7.50 for adults. Of course everything else was a lot
cheaper in those days, too (as were wages), but now you can
figure two adults and two kids are lucky to get by for $200.
(For a day in an "amusement park"!!!)

Of course. But it certainly has not been standard practice to ask for it
at booking time. (Not that I have a problem with the concept.)

Because it's a good package in many ways. I don't much like the few Disney
places I've been to, but I don't have children. I know many parents - as
I'm sure you do - who appreciate what it has to offer them. And it's
pretty much harmless.

The all rides included was a lot later than a couple of years after they
opened. Wife and I got married in 1968 and we still had the booklets with
the different tickets. At least through 1971. Remember that is where the
term "E Ticket ride" originates from. There were like 2 E tickets in the
book. And a couple of A tickets. Always saved an A ticket for the main
street trolley car at the end of the evening.

I don't know. When Disneyland starts behaving like the NSA, perhaps
it's time to find other amusement parks to visit.

At Disneyland Paris this would run about $210 for admission, plus the
cost of food and things, for one park. For both parks it's a bit
higher. This is for one day. It's slightly cheaper if the kids are
under 12.

Is it really so much in Anaheim? We found it cheap 12 years ago.
Ticket prices are well hidden on the Disney web site but ...
It seems to cost more for one child under 10 than we paid for a family
of 4 in 1992.

We found Disney land in Anaheim good value in 1992. Our two children
were 9 and 11 when we went there.The food was reasonab;ly priced too.
The food cost no more inside than outside and was the same quality.
