Sorry for the goof from the first post. Darn this keyboard, why do they have to
put the 'shift' key and 'return' so close together?

The real post starts here;

During our visit to WDW last week, we had some time in the evening (since the
MK closed at 6:00) to goto the Character Warehouse at Belz. The place is
GGGGGREAT (at Tony would say). The prices are unbelievable. The polo shirts
from the resorts would go for ~$30 were at the CW for ~$13. There were many
summer-time styles at really good prices. They were also trying to get rid of
the 20th anniversary stuff so that too was very inexpensive.

   Some of the new stuff (10th anniversary shirts for EPCOT) were mis-prints.
Be careful with this stuff. When the shirts were being silk-screened some of
the ink ran or somehow ended up being splattered onto the back of the shirt or
onto the sleve. There was a guest in the store looking at these shirts with us
and he owns a place that gets shirts silk-screened. One of his suppliers
accidently splattered some ink onto a sleve and he said to use carbuerator
(sp?) cleaner on the spot. First wad up a piece of terry-cloth and place it
directly under the spot. Wad up the spot so only the spot is on top, then 
spray the Carb cleaner on it. Then you launder it and this guest said
that this will clean up the spot, no problem. I didn't try it so don't blame me
if it doesn't work. BTW use extreem caution, the carb cleaner is VERY flamable.

   Another thing, be careful of the sizes. I tried on some shirts but they were
WAY too small even though they were marked XL. It's not that I'm Hmmmm... heavy
but the sizes on the labels may be wrong.

   I couldn't help but wonder if WDW did actually own the CW. In previous
posts, the cast members (I mean employees) said that they were NOT a Disney
store. Well I saw the certificate from the Orlando tax department showing that
WDW paid the taxes on the store. Either the store is really run by Disney or
Disney is a really kind place where they go aroung paying other peoples taxes.
I kind of presured one of the people that worked there and she said that the CW
is actually a small division of the MUCH larger Disney empire. I guess that I
should now refer to the workers there as cast members.

   We actually went to the CW twice. The second visit was a few days after the
first and there were lots of new things added by the second visit. I wiuld
suggest for people to go and check it out at least once. 

   How to get there?? Take I-4 exit 30A. Take a left at the light at 
International Drive (I-drive). Keep going until you can't go any further. The
LAST Belz building on the left is the one you want (there are quite a few of
Belz buildings). Enter the building at the center set of doors and the CW is to
the left of the carosel.

I'm really not sure if the traffic warrents a split, particlarily along 
these lines.  If a split was to be done, though, I think the creation of
rec.arts.disney.parks would be more workable.  Why (besides my personal
preference)?  The traffic about the parks is fairly constant year round,
the film/video traffic varies quite a bit -- in a few months the number
of messages about Aladdin will be down to a trickle and the group will
probably be dominated by Toontown stuff or something.  A park group
could probably have a high enough number of messages on a regular basis
to justify its existence, I doubt that a movie one would.

Anyway, if you're interested in doing this, post the CFD in the appropriate
news.groups newsgroup and be prepared to fend off suggestions of
rec.arts.movies.disney or rec.travel.amusement_parks.disney, or....

[Many rebuttals of the Freudian approach ommitted]
 
Now just a minute here, folks.  I'm surprised a few of you aren't a
little more open to the Freudian approach.  So in the spirit of
discovery, I'm going to take a whack at a little Freud work myself.
Please refrain from poking holes in the thrust of my argument until it
has reached its climax.
 
Beauty and the Beast : Beast keeps a rose (symbol of sexuality) that
continues to wilt as he can not find an outlet for love.  He then
gives Belle a mirror (symbol of female vanity and repressed sexuality),
except this mirror reflects the image of the Beast signifying Belle's
bestial (and bestiality) longings.  At the climax of the story, Gaston
sticks a very phallic knife into the Beast, which instead of killing
him transforms him into a verile young man.  Comments about Lumiere's
wick omitted due to length considerations. ;-)
 
Aladdin : Rub this and all your wishes come true?  Need I say more?
Unfortunately, I must.  Jaffar in the beginning of the movie wields
power with his snake staff, although the fact that his snake is a
wooden (perhaps ceramic?  it shatters) staff is significant as it
represents latent and repressed sexuality.  At the final moment of
this movie, Jaffar loses his long maintain self control exerted over
his sexuality (as seen in his wish for Jasmine), and now he literally
becomes a living giant snake.  Elementary, my dear Sigmund.
 
Frankly, Freudian analysis is fun, entertaining, and worth a laugh at
any party where cocktail weenies are served, but (IMHO) holds about as
much water as the Sahara.  I think that professors, and others, who
still believe in Freud (and I suspect also believe in the Tooth Fairy
and Easter Bunny) do so only because it makes their egos feel bigger.
Among other things.

VOYAGES OF THE LITTLE MERMAID

We rode Voyages for the first time today.  Wow.
As with many recent Disney shows, this show has a lot that
makes it different (...that makes it Disney? :)

The ~20 minute show features the major numbers from the 
movie, opening with "Under the Sea".  Disney has applied 
puppeteering techniques in this scene where the puppeteers 
are dressed completely in black (including black hoods), 
and manipulate puppets that are constructed to be visible 
under ultraviolet light.  The results are spectacular--the 
characters actually come to life!  Many of the puppets are 
built on sticks and strings so as to allow them to "swim" 
everywhere, even above, below, and around one another.

The theatre is equipped with a variety of spectacular new
technical special effects.  The ocean waves, King Triton, and
more are animated and projected using multicolor lasers.
There are also some water effects that I don't want to
spoil, so suffice to say, experience them for yourself.

Ariel makes her appearance "on the half shell" and sings her
starring number, "Part of your World".  She also plays her
scene with Ursula (who appears as a two-story-tall Audio-
Animatronic character!) where she signs her voice away.
The finale reenacts the scene where she finally becomes 
human, and joins her Prince in a kiss.

During much of the show, excerpts from the movie are shown 
on screens behind the live action.  I really liked them--they
were a very touching 10-minute retrospective of the really 
great animated moments of the movie.

Sadly, I think that the show is just a little too short
and abrupt.  You go from Under The Sea (which, by the way,
doesn't have Ariel in it...!) to Part of Your World, to 
Poor Unfortunate Souls, to the finale.  So I give it an 8
on a 1-10 scale.  I think that extending the show by about
6-8 minutes and developing better transitions between 
scenes, I'd give it a 10.  But it is definitely one of my
new favorites at the Studio.

Because the puppeteers are completely covered and operate in 
total darkness, guests are strongly warned not to use flash
photography in the show.  This makes the show very difficult
to tape or photograph.

The next segment includes some shorts from the Studio, and
by request, a list of all of the holiday events (we've been
told about) at WDW.

After having seen the film for the third time (during finals week!),
I still think that it would have been better if they had just cut
out most of the modern-day references--if nothing else, then just
the celebrity impressions.  Ah well, I doubt it will hurt the film
as much as some people say, if at all.

BTW, I think that "charges d'affaires" *literally* refers to some
type of diplomat.  Are you just guessing, or do you already know and
are making an interpretation?  And "red-letter" literally refers to
a date that is marked in red (instead of black) on a calendar to
signify a holiday.  Again, are you making an interpretation (that went
over my head)?  Just wondering.

i go to WDW about once a week, and the park rarely fills up.  The christmas/New Year's season is about the only time it likely to fill up.  It does occasionally does fill up during the year, but that's on an occasional weekend or something. If it does fill up, they do close the doors until enough people leave that they can let some more people back into the parks.

Why make a "pop" version at all, I say.  Replacing much of the music
with some kind of weird percussion/synthesizer (I normally like
synth music) combination, and repeating a bunch of the lyrics
doesn't make a song more suitable for pop (in this case, anyway).
For Beauty and the Beast, the situation was different.

Sort of like having someone rub your lamp, eh? :-)

Anyway, I've just heard that Lea Salonga will be on next Wednesday's
"Live! with Regis and Kathy Lee."  I think it's a rerun.  BTW, the
show is financed by Disney, which would help explain all the little
plugs I've seen on the show.
