The 1-day pass is only good for one park.  It costs about $36.00.
To be able to go to more than one park in a day you would
have to buy a 4-day pass. It is good for all of
the parks. (MK, EPCOT, MGM)  It costs about $125.00

This is *class*, gang.

This evening I needed to call my brother, who's staying at Dixie
Landings at Walt Disney World. I was hoping that if he didn't
answer, I could get the receptionist to take a one- or two-sentence
message so he could decide whether he needed to call back and
wouldn't think I was calling because something dreadful had happened 
at his house. :-)

So anyway, my call gets put through to his room. Ring, ring, ring...
"Hi, this is Mick Winter. Joanna, Kathy and I are off wandering
around the World somewhere, but please leave a message."

Yes, that's right netfans--voicemail in the guest rooms. And this 
isn't even the high-end hotel. What a great idea! Way to go, Disney

    This is my first post so bear with me.  There has been a lot of 
discussion on trips to WDW, many of the comments I have found useful.
I have read most of Birmbaum's Official WDW Guide book and looked into
a couple of other sources and none of them are very definitive on when
the X-Mas rush starts.  I am planning on going to WDW for my honeymoon
and so the dates are relatively fixed, my question is How crowded are
the parks the week before X-Mas and X-mas itself?  I am going for 
seven days and tend to be patient so I should see most things anyway
right?  Thanks for your help and advice

Go the week before Christmas, when the parks are practically empty, and
you can own the place.  Starting Christmas Day through New Years will be
the longest lines.  I wouldn't be caught dead out there (just like I
won't go in the summer until the last week of August!).  They have a
special Christmas parade, and it's usually on TV that morning, so I
can just watch from the living room. :-)

I really can't say enough about Disney in the off-season--it's so great
to just walk into the rides with sometimes no line at all.  Also, the
park employees are more relaxed and willing to talk, and share a little
Disney anecdote or two.  The weather usually hits highs in the
70's in December, and it never freezes that early.  You didn't want to
go to the beach anyway, did you?  The bad part is that sometimes rides
are down for repairs.

Have a great honeymoon!

The PG rating means parental guidance.  It means if
you care about what your kids see, you either go with
them so if you decide it's not for them you can take
them out, or you go alone first and preview it and
then make the same decision.  Since you said you
would probably see it anyway, the second way sounds 
like the ticket.

I have never seen a theatre turn away a child from
a PG movie without a parent, but I suppose they DO
reserve that right.  So you should talk to the
theatre manager since it may vary with the theatre.
(Easy to do since you'll be going there first anyway!)

   The animated short "Off His Rockers" which precedes "Honey,I Blew

FL.
   It was concieved and directed by Barry Cook,supervisor of the Florida 
SFX animation dept.
  The project began in 1989,with conceptual work occurring for a 
couple of years prior to that.All the members of the project team
(approx 70 persons) worked on the project during thier "off hours"
and did so without pay,though the company did provide resources for
filming.
  Cook's next project is to direct the next Roger Rabbit short,"Trail 
Mix Up",slated to start production soon at Disney Animation Florida.

I supposed it's reasonably common knowledge that _Snow White_ is not, in fact,
the world's first feature film, but is it the first to use special effects?
I haven't had a chance to see more than about 15-20 minutes of _Prince
Achmed_ and nary a frame of the other two pre-_Snow White_ features (both
names escape me, and I'm too lazy to look them up), but are you sure it's
the first?

Return-Path: <amail.amdahl.com!rich.bellacera@juts.ccc.amdahl.com>

O.K. So let me see if I'm up-to-date on my info on "Marsupilami"

1)  "Marsupilami" is NOT the character's name, but rather his "species"
    He is rather called "The" Marsupilami, and not just Marsupilami.
    Apparently in Belgium there are comics which feature many marsupilamis.
    He (or they) are "owned" by Spirou & Fantasio (are these publishers?).
2)  His species is apparently a multi-hybrid, having the characteristics of an
    "amphibian", a "feline", a "primate" (prehensile-tail), and, if I may make
    an assumption based on the species, a "marsupial".  Is that everything?
    He(it?) is known to make a sound like "houba! houba!".
3)  He is currently starring in the Disney Afternoon "bumpers" (segments
    between the regular features, just before or after commercial-breaks).
4)  The "rights" to legally feature this character in the U.S. have been
    purchased by the Disney Company, and Disney plans to use him(?) as a
    regular character in the new RAW TOONAGE show to begin this Fall on
    Saturdays.  Will we see Marsupilami comic reprints under the Disney family
    of products (similar to the "Asterix" books Disney published/leased?).
5)  These "bumpers" currently have him co-starring with a dim-witted blue
    ape named "Maurice".  Can anyone tell me if this Maurice was/is also
    featured in the Belgium comics?  Are there any other characters that
    regularly interact with The Marsupilami?  WHat is the character's origin?
6)  According to one source, I've been told there has been a "plush" animal
    toy version of The Marsupilami available for many years.  Does anyone
    know if these are currently available in the U.S.?  (In the San Francisco
    -San Jose area of California specifically?).

Thanks for any and all info on this topic.  :)

To All Disney World Employees:
 
Do you know what, if any, hurricane preparation plans there are at Walt
Disney World? I ask that now in light of the current projected path of
Hurricane Andrew as of now (9:30 am Saturday morning, 8/22) would take it
right through Cape Canaveral and on through Orlando.
 
I am reminded of our stay at the Polynesian Village Resort years ago
(before
they dropped the "Village" from the name and before its renovation) when a
Tropical Storm was in the Atlantic approaching the area.  The Weather
Channel
that we know today on cable across the U.S. was not on the "on-property"
Disney cable system at that time, and Disney had one of their own instead.
Well, that day's forecast was something like "30% chance of sun" (love how
they put a spin on the 70% chance of rain in the official Weather Bureau
forecast!) and no mention of the tropical storm.  After seeing a reference
to
it on a local station's weather broadcast, we overheard a Disney Host
telling
other guests, "Oh, those storms pass over here all the time -- nothing to
worry about!"
 
We were blown away! ;-)
 
Usually residents along the gulf coast start paying VERY close attention to
the weather reports about storms, and when imminent they stock up on
batteries, candles, canned & non-perishable food, boards for outside
windows,
and/or generally evacuating -- not riding Dumbo! ;-)

NOT!

Now that I have your "ATTENTION!"  SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN DWARFS (by Walt
Disney) has NEVER been available for purchase in the marketplace.  Though
I have been advised that there are "pirate" videos out there somewhere.
Apparently sometime ago (as the legend goes) people who were attending the
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS (in Valencia) were allowed access to the Disney
archives and films (even, at times, unescorted) and as a result many of the
films were copied onto video and pirated.  There are supposedly some very bad
copies out there floating around as they are (presumably) copies of copies of
copies of copies...and so on.  Supposedly there are also those family &
friends of the Disneys and corporate persons who have copies.

For those of us not of the "elite"(i.e. who have a home "pirated" copy) we are
in LUCK.  A good friend of mine, who works for the video/laser disc industry
has it on good authority that the Disney Company is currently in the process
of refurbishing said film (a la FANTASIA).  Disney's goals are to eventually
release ALL of it's animated films onto video (Aristocats, Fox & the Hound,
Black Cauldron, Alladin and Oliver & Company) with the final release to be
Snow White.  Snow White will apparently be done up the same way Fantasia was
(i.e. the regular video and the Deluxe Edition).  Snow White is to be their
"grande finale" of sorts for their animation backlog not currently available.

So those of you frantic for Snow White, hold tight, it should only be a few
more years.

In the meantime, Snow White WILL be released to the theaters this coming year.
I assume it will *be* the refurbished version, too.  Disney has been secretly
refurbishing it all along, but denying this to the public.  They once said
they'd *N-E-V-E-R* release JUNGLE BOOK (Walt's last film before he died),
FANTASIA (his brainchild and dream film), and SNOW WHITE (the first
full-length animated feature -with sound, color and special effects).

But look, JUNGLE BOOK & FANTASIA were both released in a relatively short
span of time....can SNOW WHITE be that far behind?

Let me get this straight.  There's this character that's popular in European
culture (France, Belgium, Germany) that Disney has purchased and is going
to use in films.  This in the same year that EuroDisney opens.  Hmm.  Is this
just a coincidence, or is Disney maybe trying to get a little jump start on
their presence being accepted in Europe by riding on the coattails of a pop-
ular character that aleady exists in the culture?

Date: Sun, 23 Aug 1992 10:20:22 GMT

From what I've seen plus whatever discussions have come up on the Disney
Afternoon mailing list, I've (more or less) come up with the following tidbits
of info:

If I'm reading the ads right (and my local TV station isn't screwing up its
airdates), the fall '92 DA season will start sometime around Labor Day, if not
sooner.  GOOF TROOP will be the newest addition to the lineup, bumping the
currently running series DuckTales.  Incidentally, Rescue Rangers was supposed
to have been bumped, but for some reason (don't ask me why because I don't
know), DuckTales will now be bumped from the lineup.

GOOF TROOP features Goofy and his son Max, along with next-door neighbors Pete
and Pete's wife (Peg) and kids (PJ and Pistol).  Semi-trivia note:  Nancy
Cartwright, the voices of Bart and Lisa Simpson, is doing the voice of Pistol.

I'm not sure exactly when the GT pilot will be shown, but I suspect that it
will air either this coming Saturday (8/29) or the following Saturday (9/5).  
Those of you who have VCRs probably won't want to miss the GT pilot because
while the pilot may be shown as part of the Disney Afternoon later on, there
are apt to be scenes featured only on the pilot that won't be part of the DA
episodes (like the premiere episode of DW).

Reactions to the GT episodes that aired on the Disney Channel have been pretty
lukewarm -- it's nothing spectacular, but it's kinda sorta somewhat decent.
