                  Disney denies scoping U.S. base in Philippines

                 Mayor says theme park, Universal studio proposed


    The Walt Disney Co. denied Monday that it has proposed building a new 
  Disneyland theme park on the soon-to-be abandoned U.S. Naval base at Subic 
  Bay in the Philippines.

  On Sunday [July 19], the head of the Philippine panel searching for an 
  alternate use for the 98,000-acre site said Disney and Universal Studios 
  wanted to build attractions there.

    Mayor Richard Gordon of Olongapo City, 50 miles northwest of Manila, said 
  Universal Studios suggested a studio complex at Subic, while Disney was 
  proposing a Disneyland theme park.

    "We've made no such request.  Nor do we have any plans" to do so, said 
  Erwin Okun, senior vp for Disney.

    A call to Universal seeking comment was not immediately returned Monday.

    The Philippine Senate voted in September not to renew the Navy's lease 
  beyond 1991.

    The Americans were given until the end of the year to leave.

    Subic and another base in the Philippines, Clark Air Base, were among the 
  largest U.S. military facilities located outside the United States.

    Clark, which is 30 miles northeast of Subic, was abandoned by the U.S. Air 
  Force after it was severely damaged last summer during eruptions from Mount 
  Pinatubo.

When I was in Italy in World Showcase, I had to meet the rest of my family
in Adventureland at a specific time. It took me 45 min. to make to trip and I
hustled. I took the boat across the lake at Epcot, (no waiting time there),
took the monorail to TTC, changed trains to get to Magic Kingdom. Don't count
the extra 8 min. to walk to Adventureland but you will have to walk to your
hotel room at the Poly which is where we stayed. You can walk to Poly from
the TTC. Don't bother to change monorails. It's a nice stroll thru their
gardens. Plan at least 30-40 min to get back to hotel. Especially with kids.
We didn't take a car so I don't know if it's faster but I'm sure it's not as 
fun.  Besides you won't have to ride half a mile to find your car either. Wait
until you see the size of the parking lots!!

Can't wait to go back.

You bet you were. I purchased stock last week from Dean Witter. I asked for one
share, but he advised to at least buy five. He was agreeable to one, but didn't
think the commission would be worth it. Anyway, I bought 5 at 35 and a quarter.
Their charge was only 17 dollars, plus 2 dollars for some other fee, so the
total for five shares was just under $200. Not a bad investment, I think.

I'm a fairly big fan of Disney movies and I also collect toys, so naturally
I'm interested in old Disney toys.

I mainly collect Hagen-Rennaker ceramics. These are highly detailed
miniature (2" tall or less) ceramic figures of Disney characters. They
were originally sold at Disneyland in the 1950's and 1960's. Does anyone
else out there collect these things? They are really quite beautiful.
Does anyone have any to trade or sell?

 The parking lot itself is bigger than Disneyland, and Disney owns other land
 adjacent to the current park as well.

     The theatrical re-release of "Pinocchio" looks as though it's going
     to be a modest money-maker for Disney.  Last year's "101 Dalmatians"
     made about $50 million, which was enough to set the dogs barking.
     This time around, though, even wishing upon a star may not help
     "Pinocchio;" forecasts are that it will make perhaps $25 million
     before closing by Labor Day.

     No official word has been made on the video re-release of
     "Pinocchio."  I suspect that it will be released in 1993, as
     Disney has been traditionally waiting one year at most between
     the theatre and the sell-through video.  Since "Pinocchio"
     does not seem to be a major cash cow in the order of
     "Dalmatians," I don't think Disney will bother releasing a
     fancy, over-priced "Deluxe" video edition of the film.  This
     will be good news for the consumer, as it means that the
     video should be released at the standard Disney price of:

          Videotape - $25  ($15 to $20 in major stores)
          CLV Laserdisc - $30
          CAV Laserdisc - $40

     NOTE: This is mere speculation, not based on any actual facts other
     than box-office records, and accounts of how previous Disney films
     have fared in the theatres vs. home video.  If anyone hears the
     "official" word from Disney as to "Pinocchio's" home video release,
     then please post it here!

     P.S.: And if you haven't seen "Pinocchio" in the theatre yet this
     summer - WHAT are you waiting for?  GO SEE IT!

Funny, I want to do exactly the same thing! Trouble is, the broker I
contacted yesterday about this said that typically I would be expected
to buy at least 100 shares ... any less and the price per share would
increase, with the minimum number of shares being 10. Given that you
only get one certificate per purchase, this seems an expensive way of
getting the certificates as gifts.

Maybe it was just me picking the wrong broker ...

If anyone can suggest as way for me to purchase Disney stock in 1s,
I'd appreciate it.

Last time I was at WDW (Mid May) Splash Mountain appeared to be
finished.  Of course, those familiar with home construction know
that just because the outside is finished doesn't mean the *inside*
is complete.  I did hear construction was well ahead of schedule, and
I'm happy to hear Splash Mountain has opened, as the next Florida
resident 4-season salute period opens the middle of August.  Only
30 days to go ;-)

I have read the WDW Splash Mountain ride is 11 minutes long (!).  This
seems much longer than the left coast version.

trying to say here is that many people have copies of movies off of HBO
or rented tapes but LD owners dont have that choice (nor a problem with)
buying movies 
and do actually pay
for the movies they have (except for a few exceptions of the weasles who
go out and rent LDs only to copy them to tape).

We're going to WDW in early December, (First trip, hurray, I can't wait!), and
we're wondering whether or not we should rent a car. At first we figured we'd
just use the WDW transportation, but now we're thinking a car might be really
nice at some times.... 

We're staying for 8 nights, first at the Polynesian, and then at the Disney
Villas. I figure it won't be too tough to get around from the Poly, but 
that a car might be really welcome at the Villas. From the Villas we'll be
going to Fort Wilderness, and, weather permitting, Typhoon Lagoon and/or 
River Country. Using the WDW transportation, would we then need to take a bus
all the way to the TTC and transfer to another bus to these destination? It
sounds like this could take almost an hour! 

The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland states that if you were at Epcot and wanted
to return to the Contemporary to get your child down for a nap, it's a lot 
faster with a car than by monorail. We'll be in the same situation, except at
the Poly. Is it really a lot faster by car?

Also, is it ok to bring a ton of luggage on the WDW buses? I can't imagine that
would be looked at too favorably, but we will need to get from the Poly to the
Villas with all our stuff. (No, we don't travel light!) Obviously a car would
be nice for this. 

How easy is it to get to the Goodings grocery store from the Villas, using the
Disney transportation?  

Finally, I believe there are no parking fees for guests of the WDW resorts. Is
this true? 

I'd love to hear from any voices of experience. Thanks!

Brenda

p.s. I know we won't *need* a car, it's more a question of how much convenience
a car will really provide.

of Aladdin, his monkey, and a genie at the El Capitan theatre

Which video chart is this?  No video chart I know of takes pre-orders
into account until the first week of release.  Also remember that
there is a cheap knock-off of Beauty and the Beast tape currently on the
market, probably capitalizing on the movie's success; there was a
Little Mermaid tape that did well under similar circumstances.

BTW, here's a line on the movie from this week's Top 20 movies:

   19. "Beauty and the Beast," Disney, $346,247, 435 locations, $796 per

Late September is a good time to visit WDW; my wife and I have
been twice right after Labor Day, with great happiness each time.
Each time, we followed "The Unofficial Guide..." although the
crowds certainly weren't enough to demand slavish devotion to it.
For one thing, it gave us a plan on where to go in what order.
The first time at a park, that's a great help; it sure beats
wandering aimlessly. :-)  The second time we were there, we
already knew a lot about the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, so we
deviated more from the plans, but we still followed the plan fro
MGM, which we hadn't visited before, closely.

One differing opinion, though: weekdays might be better than
weekends in the fall.  The first Saturday after Labor Day last
September had a more crowded than expected Magic Kingdom.  I got
the impression eavesdropping on other visitors that there were a
lot of locals, presumably people who had waited for all the
tourists to leave because school had restarted.  So, if you can
afford midweek visits to WDW in the autumn, it might be better to
go counter slightly to some of the strategy in the Unofficial
Guide.

  As far as "romantic locations" go,here are a few suggestions.

   1)The Observation Deck(s) adjacent to the Top Of The World Lounge,
     on the 15th floor of the Contemporary.One of the best spots for 
     a party of two to take in the Fantasy In The Sky fireworks,as 
     well as a great view of the Magic Kingdom.(Imagine -- A full moon
     over the MK with pyro bursting around Cinderella's Castle)
     
  2)Victoria & Albert's restaurant at the Grand Floridian.While this 
    location IS expensive (a "set price" of $75 per person when last I 
    checked) it is also perhaps one of the most refined and elegant dining
    options on property.Seating is limited to approximatly 56 persons 
    which makes a meal there quite intimate.

   3)The Empress Room onboard the Empress Lilly at the Disney Village 
     Marketplace.THE classic location for a dinner for two. (it has 
     been for twenty years - a cast member favorite)

   4)The "All American" Rose Garden at the Hub in the Magic Kingdom.
     Formerly the site of the Swan Boat Dock,this small cluster of 
     tables and chairs between Cinderella's Castle and the enterance 
     to Tomorrowland provides a gentle respite after a days 
     adventures.A terrific view of the Castle,with a gentle floral
     scent in the background.

   5)The "portico" area behind the Adventurers Club on Pleasure
     Island.An amazingly quiet spot,day or night.A cluster of tables
     and chairs with a relaxing view and the muted sounds of the
     Pleasure Island Live "broadcast" in the background.

   6)The "satellite bar" area inside XZFR's Rock & Roll Beach Club.
     A group of approximatly five booths with a view of the water,
    a small dancing area and,depending on the performers,some fine 
    slow dance tunes.

I am sure that there are additional "romantic sites" (near the 
waterfall in the Great Ceremonial House at the Polynesian Village 
Resort perhaps ?) that I have failed to list.I'll update this list if
I come across any additional places for rendesvous'.
