Wow do I love this one, just found it yesterday, not sure if it's new or not.
I assume most of you are registered on Disney.com, but if you're not all you have to do is register (free) to get this really neat Screensaver. It shows random pics/scenes from WDW and DLR, as well as little mini movies from the parks. Some photos give you an option to click and you can get more info on whatever is in that picture.
But the BEST part is, once you download it, you can add your own pics from your hard drive and they too will be randomly displayed amongst the ones that are came with the screensaver. They fade in and out, and have other nifty effects. I have the pics from my October trip added and is so much fun to watch. Here's the link:

That's a neat screensaver--better than the ones they had for the HCOE. But am I the only one having technical problems with it? I'm getting endless pop-up messages stating that new images have been downloaded. Also, when I go into my display properties to try and change the settings for the screensaver (specifically, to turn the sound off), it doesn't accept the changes. Clicking on "OK" or "Apply" has no effect. Only "Cancel" will get me out of the window, and it does so without saving any of the changes.
tjkraz,
I didn't get that far! System requirements didn't match up (not even close). My "internet laptop" is an old workhorse that was chic when Windows 2000 was new.

They've got several cool things on offer - but I'm going to have to write Steve Jobs and ask him to withhold approval for Iger's bonus until the Disney website starts offering Mac versions of their gizmos!! So much for wanting to be a leader in technology usage . . .

Well.... I'm having trouble with this one.:headbange :headbange :headbange
I have the previous "Disney Dream" screensaver on my pc. Its great, it has 3 buttons that you can hit to make Tink fly, pirate ship moves across the screen, also makes fireworks happen, can change night to day..etc
Here's a few screen shots:

I CANNOT get the "new" "Disney Dream Screensaver" to show video...only music and I'm crazed about it !!:rant: :rant:
I have uninstalled it and re-installed it. Any ideas??
Maybe I can't have 2 ??? Though they are named differently.
WOW...I'm certainly dissappointed, especially since ALL the grandkids will be here tonite and it sure would be cool if they saw thier pic on this screensaver..:tearsaref :tearsaref
HELP????:veryconfu

Wow sorry to have (evidently) caused a lot of folks grief. I did have the screensaver freeze on me once. I got a message that told me to change the settings to 1280x1024 and I haven't had any problems since.
Good luck to all, again apologies for any troubles you're having. :computers

I am in full agreement about the Mac comment... We are people too! I was surprised that when I received my castaway club disk that it had both Mac and PC screensaver options.

... unless, of course, you're the one that programmed the screen saver in the first place. If so, then you deserve to be strung up by your toes. :D
