Stones with names on them around the MK walkways

Does anyone know if you can still purchase the stones that you can have engraved with your family's name and date on them and are placed outside the MK on the walkways?

If so, who do you contact? How much do they cost?

Does the money go right into Disney's pocket or is it used for other purposes? Such as, denotations to charities, sponsorships, etc......???

Thanks!!

Disney discontinued the Walk Around the World sales when they introduced the Leave a Legacy at EPCOT. They will start it again, but they felt that the sales of the bricks were hurting the legacy sales, so they stopped it. I believe the cost was between $30 and $50, depending upon what was on the brick.

FYI. We purchased two bricks, one in 1997 for our wedding and one in 1999 for the birth of our daughter. Cost was $110 each.

The Leave a Legacy tile we had done in 2000 cost us $30 with a AAA discount. I just had a son in July and wanted to get him a brick as well but was informed that the program discontinued. So I guess on our next trip we will be having a tile done for him.

The money goes into Disney's pocket. The Unofficial Guide has some funny stuff to say about this walkway.
