Letters to the Editor

Disney park in France is a betrayal of America.

Treason	is not a strong enough word for Disney's theme park in France.
Am I the only person in America who sees the consequences of Disney's
betrayal of America?

I am sure somebody with more resources than I have can put a dollar
figure on the cost to America in lost revenues and jobs.  And what
about the already-troubled airlines that would have ferried thousands
of passengers to America?

All the Japan-bashing in the world is not going to make up for the
treasonous decisions of a few hundred corporate executives who put
their corporate empires before the well-being of the nation as a
whole.  The sad part is that nearly every one of them is a flag-waving
Republican.

I say we whould boycott any corporation that puts profit over America.
Let's bash those CEO's who owe everything to us but are willing to
destroy us for a few pieces of silver.  It is not just about Disney,
but I believe Disney's move to Europe will be the last nail in our
coffin, and it just may push us from recession to depression.

Organization: Hewlett-Packard Corporation, Chelmsford, MA
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1992 12:29:44 GMT

Good day. I'm planning a Disney trip for June and would like to know
what the latest price for WDW 4-day and 5-day passes is. I asked
at my local Disney store, but the prices he gave me seemed surprisingly
high compared to what I've seen reflected here and in catalogs..

The MKC price quoted me is: $117.20 4-day, $155.25 5-day.

I've recently seen postings reflecting these (or close to them) as 
"regular" prices and MKC gets ~10% off..

While I know Disney does periodic (read:weekly) price increases,
this appears a bit steep. Anyone have any recent price experience?

Thanks for any help.

TTFN,

Ron

P.S. I got a (IMO) good price for the Beach Club Resort. If there's anyone
who would like to share good/bad experiences here (or the Yacht Club),
those would be welcome, too!

_The Rescuers_ has never been released on video.  If you are referring to
_The Rescuers Down Under_, it can still be found in stores.

Here's a few places where you can probably find B&B posters, both the advance
(the one with the silhoettes (spelling made up)) and the regular (the one with
Belle et al in the foreground). :

Box 16681-U
Raytown, MO 64133

If none of these places can help you, feel free to e-mail me for more info.
I have about 4 or 5 other places I order from on occasion.  Expect to pay
between $20-$35 for either poster.  Any higher than that, and I'd look elsewhere.
Note that these places also have other Disney movie posters, so if you're
interested, you can stock up.

Same-day release is not commonplace for all or most movies. The reason here
is that you can make better quality copies from a laser disk to tape, then
from a prerecorded tape. In other words, a video store buys a laserdisc and
makes ten copies on tape and rents them out. This is easily done and against
the law. Most pre recorded tapes have macrovision and can not be dubbed.

By moving back release dated for laser, the company can make the money they 
want from tape and then later from the much smaller laser market. Remember
that the laser market is at the most one-tenth of the tape market.

This is why disney took so long releasing Jungle Book on laser and why 
101 Dalmations will take just as long.

What I heard was that the artist was fired after completing the initial artwork
(sans penis), then airbrushed in the objet affreux to relieve his feelings.  I
am told, as "proof," that about half of the editions of that particular artwork
don't have his last-minute addition in it.

It's "I'm Wishing."  That's why they play it at the wishing well, which

Surely there are some Orlando [esp. EPCOT] cast members who have watched 
Captain EO carefully. For some reason, guests from around the world wait in
long long lines to see it. It is, as far as I am concerned, an editing 
disaster. There are at least 30 cinematographic [where does the accent fall on
that word?] errors in the movie. Jacket open, jacket closed. In fact, in the 
scene where Jackson is saving all the captives of the planet from the evil
spider lady, he shoots them with a beam that makes them gold colored and 
happy. Apparently there are more people than Michael makes these shots at,
because if you look carefully, you can see a grey figure running off the 
screen! There are many more weird things like this, including 3D errors. Not
like the amazing 3D "errors" in Muppet Vision, which I think is the most
incredible show on property. 

Any Annual Passholders/regular visitors have EO horror stories?

Aside from the ridiculously loud volume of course...

Several years ago Los Angeles Times reported that Disney was never ever going
