Delia,

I went to WDW once in April with my girl friend (now wife :-) ), and I
loved it!  The weather started out cool (65-70) and then it got warmer
and warmer (75-83).  We went after the College Spring Break and after
Easter, heard it was crowded at these times.  But we ran into no crowds
at all.  There were very few waits on the attractions.  Hotels were 
running a lot of special deals, which was nice.

A few of the attractions were closed for maintenance, but none of the
ones we wanted to see.  We will probably plan on going in April the
next time we go '94 or '95?   March is definitely out because of 
Spring Break crowds, and the weather is a little more iffy.

When you do decide on some tentative dates, you might want to call
Disney to make sure they haven't invited the world during your stay.

We needed the entire 4-day pass to do all of the things we wanted at 
Epcot, MGM, and the Magic Kingdom.  If you like Night Life, the
5-day pass is good.

Sorry, I can't help myself.  A Disney animated version of "Macbeth" would
at least give them the perfect opportunity to reuse their recent song,
"Be Our Guest".  OK, so maybe they'd need some new lyrics, but *I*
think having Macbeth and his Lady singing it as they hack up Duncan could
be quite effective.

Don't know if I can be much help.. but when my family went (LONG, LONG AGO)
and stayed at Fort Wilderness IN WDW.. it was a mix of both good and some
bad.  The main thing that was NOT fun.. is that we brought a big family
tent and it seemed that Fort Wilderness was either out of campsites or
only had trailer sites cause after 15 minutes of trying to put our stakes
in the ground.. we had some workers come by and lend us METAL spikes and a
large hammer to put them in.. it seems that we had the disposal tanks just
below us and this did not allow for us to use our regular tent stakes.
The other thing that I did not like (looking back) is that the sites are
AWFULLY close together and did not have alot of foliage in between them.
Even tho there were alot of trees and plants around.. you could not really
say you had alot of cover from other sites.

Now to the GOOD!!  :)  There was a shuttle that constantly drove up and down
the campground and therefore.. made it very easy on parents who did not want
to shuttle their kids around.. its right next to River Country.. so you can
go right next door and have some water fun.. the BEST part (and I don't know
if they still do it.. ) is that when we were there.. they had outdoor Disney
movies and everyone had tons of fun watching them under the stars.
They also have some entertainment and have character breakfasts there..
also.. you can take a BOAT to the magic kingdom.. so you really don't have to
drive too many places once you are there.  

Other than that.. they had activites planned for the kids.. and plenty to
do to keep you busy... Hope that helps.

Im no Disney Employee but I did live in Florida for most of my life and the
general attitude there among the locals was, 'Oh, a hurricane, thats nice, I
guess we better move to higher ground.'  The only people I saw that went 
completely nuts about it was the out-of-towners and people who had never been
through one before.  I think a Hurricane in Florida is about like an 
Earthquake in California, the locals dont really care unless it is a really
big one (and those are few and far between).

I personally prefer mid-October(Local's month), but if you must go
around Christmas time, its a lot like Las Vegas(i.e., your taking a chance).
Sometimes it is great(light crowds), sometimes they close the exit off
of I-4 because there are too many people in the park.  Lots of (tourist)kids
get "Disney" for Christmas, and parents usually use vacations between
Christmas and New Years(a lot of the locals have that time off too) so the
crowds are heavier after Christmas than before.  If you want to spend
Christmas at Disney World, then go the week ending in Christmas(Dec.
20 - Dec. 26).  If you want to see the decorations, get the Christmas
spirit, then spend Christmas at home, go the previous week(Dec. 13 -
Dec. 19).  The crowds are part of the Disney "experience" too, you just
don't want to be overwhelmed.

Regarding the crowds at Disney World, or Disneyland for that matter, go to a 
travel agent and get the books describing various Disney packages and 
accomodations.  In the book, it will tell you day by day when peak and non-
peak times are.  This also changes year to year because of shifting holidays 
like Easter.  Now that I'm thinking about it, there is also a comprehensive

IMHO, I can't wait for Aladdin. After visiting MGM this spring and
seeing the work being done, (on a Macintosh, no less), I got really
excited. I think it will be on the order of Beauty and the Beast, etc.

Quite frankly, if I'd just seen titles of those, I probably wouldn't
have been very excited, either.

Again, all IMHO.

Just in case anyone's interested, here is a list of the next eight
animation features to be released by Disney:

Aladdin  (a surprise, I'm sure)
King of the Jungle
Pocahontas
Swan Lake
Sinbad Tales
Silly Hillbillies on Mars
Song of the Sea
Fantasia Continued


I'm not sure if this is the order they'll appear in.  This is how
they are listed in Variety, June 29 1992:5.  The word comes directly
from Jeff Katzenberg himself, I think.

I dunno, they don't really impress me that much as a whole.  If I saw
something like The Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast in that
lineup, I'd be on pins and needles waiting for it.  They sound good,
that's all, not spectacular--I'd love to be proved wrong.  My bet
for the still-rumored all computer animated feature would be
Silly Hillbillies on Mars.

Any additions/corrections/reactions?

A new Disney Store opened this past weekend in Irondequoit Mall in Rochester,

I beg to differ, but *I* am Ariel.  Actually, I just think I'm a mermaid.
With blonde hair that is 28 inches long that I have to braid so it will
have ANY body, I can have the perfect mermaid hair.  The only real problem
is I have yet to figure out how to get my legs to metamorphose into a fin,
even during a full moon.  :)
However, I am making a fin for a Halloween costume (or at least, that's what
I'm telling everyone it's for).  I'm using pliable but tough plastic for the
fin, sewn inside the kelly green bathing suit material that makes up the 
fin.  No, I can't walk in it, why?  That's missing the point.  My feet help
manouver the fin for when I swim in it.  I am almost finished sewing on the
sequins that represent scales.  That's been the biggest pain.

The first thing should be, m-e-r-m-A-I-d.  The second thing would be, move
near a Disney Store.  The third thing would be to visit a coastal town whose
biggest economy trade is tourists who buy stuff in the shapes of fish and 
the like.  At Pismo Beach in California, there is a store that sells plastic
lights, like the kind that one would use for their patio outside, but they 
could be used on a Christmas tree.
And finally, my motto: "I'd rather be a mermaid than an old maid!"

In the latest _Ninja High School_ (drawn by Ben Dunn, from Eternity Comics
in the US), there are a lot of lesbian overtones in the most recent plot
twist.  Princess Asrial of the Salusian Empire has been captured by her
former childhood best friend, now worst enemy, Leanna, and there are scenes
with Leanna begging Asrial (who's tied up, BTW, in a way that really turned
a Gor-fan friend of mine on!) to "be her consort", and kissing her, and
when Asrial refuses, the torture begins.

Of course, NHS is an American comic inspired by manga, but I think it
qualifies as manga.  The drawing style is very similar to the
English-language LUM comics I've seen, and a lot of the situations are just
as improbable.

I haven't read too many myself.  A few I can't remeber the titles to (for 
good reason), I just read Tezuka's "Ribon No Kishi" (Princess Knight), 
most of "Seito Shoken!" (sp?) (Students!) a classic you'll find mentioned 
in Manga Manga, and a little of Adachi Mitsuru's shojo manga work (guy 
who created the much underated manga classic "Touch").  A shojo anime 
film I'd recomend is "Wata No Kunihoshi" (in fact I would kill for a copy 
of this film, which I've only seen once)--a story about a kiiten that is 
portrayed in the form of a minature girl, very artsy.

But my own favorite is Ginyobi no Otogibanashi (The Fairy-tale of 
Silverday) by Mutsumi Hagiwa, especially the third and last story. This 
is a manga set in England about a "kobito" (little people) princess named 
Poe who is too interested in humans for her own good.  Six volumes.  
First story is three volumes and is about the consequences caused by Poe 
meeting the human Scott Ferry.  Second part is two volumes long and about 
a young boy (Peter) who lives in poverty with his mother and his relation 
to the aristocratic Tolhurst family.  The third part is about the 
girl-like boy water spirit exiled from his home, who steals things for 
his treasure, including small children.

It looks like they had trouble with the coloring schemes.  If you
look in vol 1, at the page where Ranma and Genma were starting their
sparring, you'll notice that the color outlines were off considerably.
This occurs frequently throughout the rest of the three colorized
volumes.

I find this strange.  The color work for Silent Mobius was well within
the lines (although I far prefer the black and white version).  Why
couldn't they do the same type of job with artwork that was far more
receptive to coloring?

Oh well, mine is not to reason why, mine is just to cry and cry.
