Welcome to the first installment of Rec.Arts.Disney/LIVE!
reporting from the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Today, we'll be reporting mostly numbers--the year-end 
operating calendar, and current pricing.

WDW is going through its traditional slow period preceding
the holidays.  Waits for attractions this weekend have been
nearly nonexistent, and parks have been keeping appropriately
short hours.

The weather has been unseasonably cool, with highs in the
mid-70s and lows in the mid 60's.  Be prepared for cool, breezy 
evenings.  The bigger weather story has been the
impact of bad weather on Orlando-bound flights.  This past
weekend, closures of major airports in the northeast corridor
stranded hundreds of passengers leaving Orlando International
Airport, and delayed hundreds more headed into Orlando.
If you are flying this holiday season, be sure to check with
your airline and prepare for delays if the adverse weather 
continues.

Features of the next two days will include:
  - Magic Kingdom's newest addition
    Splash Mountain goes East!
  - Christmas all over the World
    We'll give you the scoop on all of the special
    parades and events in the parks for Christmas
  - Beauty and the Beast
    Alive and well at the Studio!
  - Aladdin
    New Studio Parade!
  - Dinner Buffets
    All around the property, it's your choice!

Thanks to everyone who has sent in questions and words of
encouragement for this show.  The lines are open!  
Send those questions NOT TO THE NET, but to
RAD_LIVE@gsb.stanford.edu.
