We had to sign specially that each of us received our convention
packets -- a little unusual.  Inside the cardboard folder was a green
oblong cardboard box with the special Disneyana background graphics
on it (dark green Mickeys against a spring green background).  Inside
this casing was a gold-and-silver-colored metal box with "Limited
Edition" stamped on it and Mickey in the center.
 
Open the box:  There was a special "Mickey Mouse" 1st Disneyana
Convention limited edition watch!  It's face was the colorful 1st
Disneyana Convention logo with Mickey in the center, and a beveled
glass face, and a brown leather strap, analog time-keeping with sweep
second hand, no numbers, battery powered.
 
Nifty, or "Oh, cool!" as a lady from Orlando attending the convention
exclaimed as she sat near us and saw her watch for the first time.
Not too many conventions give you limited edition (limited to 1500)
watches when you pay your registration fee (in paying registration you
are in fact buying the thing!), but since this was a special Disney
collector's convention we learned you can expect many little surprises
like this!
 
Well, there was a special Disneyana Store set up in the Contemporary
Resort for the convention, selling specially made stuff for the
convention, personalized stitched Mickey Mouse hats, toys, Christmas
ornaments -- quite a store.  We saw this same watch in a display case
selling for $75.00.  Impressed!  The 1500 watches were "given" to
convention registrees, the remainder sold at that Disneyana Store, and
then there were no more.
 
When folks found out about these watches and that they were sold out,
the price began to rise.  We saw it for sale in the Trade Show display
area for $150-$175, more than double the retail price just hours before!
My wife and I refused offers to sell ours, and we're undecided about
wearing them.  But they're mighty cute!  ;-).
 
BTW, the special Disneyana store set up for the convention was treated
like a Disney Store by the cast members, so that meant that just like
the Disney Village Marketplace, 10% discounts were accepted for Magic
Kingdom Club members!

Someone posted last week asking how to get in touch with the
Disneyana Convention.
 
It will be held at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim CA 9/16-19 in
1993.  You can probably write to the Disneyland Hotel RE: 2nd
Disneyana Convention (don't know their address) or to:
 
1st Disneyana Convention
Walt Disney World Resort
P. O. Box 10,000
Lake Buena Vista FL   32830-1000
(407) 560-7232
 
But first dibs will go to those (over 1,000) attending the first one.
The next one to be held in Orlando will be 1994, then the following
year back at Disneyland, and so forth.

 "So Dear To My Heart" was Disney's first attempt at live-action film.
  It stars Burl Ives and those 2 kids from "Song of the South". It's a
  story set, I think, in the South in the slavery era, I could be wrong.
  It features a very popular song, sung by Ives, "Lavenders Blue (Dilly
  Dilly)".

	Goofy was voiced by a man named (I'm not making this up) "Pinto
Colvig".  He also worked for the Fleisher Studios, and was the original
voice of Bozo the Clown.  He also had a hand in the writing of the song
"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" and did story work for Disney.

The same yell is in alot of those great "Goofy Sports" shorts.

Not yet decided.  And also just as important (to me) and not yet

It's a fairly common item in most laserdisc stores; it'll cost you sixty bucks,
and you'll have to copy it onto VHS, but it should be easy to find...

But that's exactly what Disney announced about year ago.  They announced
that they would be releasing about 3 future animated films to be produced
by Pixar.  And that Disney would only be involved so far as to be releasing
them.

I was however told a while back that a Baby Herman short was being worked
on, that would be done entirely by computer.  Unfortunately, it was hinted
at that perhaps it was an experimental short.  That could mean it might
end up like WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE did.

I heard through a friend at work that Walt Disney World has recently closed
the Walt Disney Story for rehab, and havn't decided wether to reopen it later,
due to the low number of attendance for this attraction in recent years, 
something like 50 people per hour on average. They are planing to wait and 
see if there is any outcry from visitors as to wether to reopen or not 
similar to what happen with the Lincoln attraction at Disneyland.

I always liked going into the theater and viewing Walt's life on previous trips
and seeing how it all started and can't imaging I won't be able to view Walt's
history on future trips.

HELP! I have been getting the real runaround here. We are planning
on going to disneyland the 2nd week in January. The hotel quoted
$155, $180 and $215. The $215 included the breakfast brunch but
not admission to the park.  The tours want $800 for a family of
five 3 nights and admission.

I remember seeing somewhere someone mentioning that the Disneyland hotel
has a policy of park admission from checkin-checkout with now
extra charges.  Does someknow what is going on? We would like
to be close to the park so the kids can take naps, etc and
still go back and forth, but we also want to save as much
as possible ;-).

Does anyone have any ideas, phone numbers, etc.

There are mixed opinions.  The second act is called "Totally Tasteless Video,"
but it's bland and boring.  The other two acts are Bonkers! and Marsupilami,
respectively, and they are IMHO pretty good.

Here in Washington, DC, Raw Toonage was bumped out on CBS by those unendurable 
live-action "Saved by the Bell" type shows.  Raw Toonage is aired at 7:30.
Check the unusual time-slots, like before 8:00 and after 12:00.

Just a quick update on the state of the 'land as of 9/29/92.

The Haunted Mansion and It's a Small World are both still closed.  The
planters and part of the entryway to Small World have been torn up and
a large twenty foot pit dug.  Cement walls have been poured enclosing
part most of the pit.  There is no sign yet of the toy shop that is
supposedly being built.  The old metal pipe structure in front of the
Videopolis train station has been removed, and a wooden superstructure
is now taking its place.  It does not appear to be symetrical, so I
suspect it will be in the lopsided Toontown style.  Yet another hint
of Videopolis' impending doom, I suspect.

With the Big Green Wall around Small World and the Videopolis train
station, it is now *very* difficult to see anything of Mickey's
Toontown.  I was able to determine, however, that much of the
"city skyline" backdrop has now been painted.  I would guess that
most of the external structure work as been done, and that they
are now moving to external details and inside work.  Landscaping
will presumably come last, probably in mid December.

All of the Afternoon Alley buildings have been removed from the
area leading up to Small World.  The Rescue Rangers stuff has
been removed from the Fantasyland Autopia, but the Gummy Bears
decorations still grace the Motor Boat Cruise.

The Mark Twain Steamboat was in the dock near Haunted Mansion, and
the Columbia was out sailing.  They have done an excellent job of
removing almost all traces of the Fantasmic! gear.  I was only able
to find one pully up in the rigging that wasn't there before.  The
noises coming from the rear end of the Twain indicated that work was
being done on the engines.

Mission to Mars has a sign that says "Sorry, Closed Today."  Today.
Yeah.  Right.

The Walt Disney Story featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln is
now closed for renovation, and the covered scaffolding is still in
place over the whole front of the Castle.

I think that about covers it.  TTFN!
