I dunno when, but it's been within the last few weeks that Disney stopped
acting as managing agent for the Queen (due to lack of attendance). I just
saw a report within the last few days that the Port of Long Beach has turned
the Queen over to the city along with some unspecified chunk of money (the
port was offering $4 mil, the city wanted $20m) for refit and repair. 

there were also offers to take over the boat from about 20 cities, including
Hong Kong. The Lady is evidently in pretty poor shape and needs some major
overhaul. Her next stop is probably dry dock.

Probably logistics, at least partially. An even number of runs of the parade
means the floats and stuff ends up where it began, in the storage warehouse.
An odd number of runs means it all sits wedged into the backstage area
behind main street until the park closes and clears, which requires them to
keep people around to move it all back to the warehouse once the park is
drivable (which would impact other maintenance schedules, like janitorial).

Just a word of warning for February.  For the last two years Disneyland
has been running a Southern California resident special price which has
definately up'd the attendance over previous years.  We've been going
on or around February 11th for the last 3 years (our son's birthday) on
weekend days and it was much more crowded the last 2 than the one 3
years ago when they weren't offering the discount.  Also, this is the
year of Fantasmic.  Lots of So. Calif folks may really jam the parks on
weekends just to see this.

Also, last year they extended the special price well into late March.
We've been thinking of moving up into January to see if things get
better.

By the way, for comparison purposes, we're talking about a 10 minute
wait in line at Dumbo in the pre-noon hours compared to walking right
on three years ago.  This last summer on a moderately crowded day it
took 30 minutes to get on Dumbo.  So February is still pretty darn
good.

I am sorry to say this, but...

The system that I am on crashed, and the sysadmin had to delete my mail file,
and hhe doesnt have a backup that he can get off within "a reasonable amount
of time". (I think it is BS, but...) So if you have sent me a ratings report
of the three parks, please resend them. I hadnt taken them to file yet. If
you sent me either a request or information on either survey, please resend
the request. If you sent me a response to the favorite attraction survey,
ONLY since the last one put out, I believe it was #4, please resend that. 

I am sorry this happened, nothing I could do about it, he deleted it and then
let me find out about it. He didnt even tell me, I had to ask him...(I will
stop the complaining now...)

Oh well, if you who apply will resend anything that is necessary, I will
reply to all within two to three days, and I will make sure I save it, since
the sysadmin doesnt do a good job of it.

Thanks in advance,

John

This is not entirely accurate.  The barge is currently headed for Astoria,
Oregon.  It will then head down the Columbia River to Portland.  The final
destination for the Flying Boat is a new aviation musem opening in McMinville,
Oregon, NOT Seattle, to be run by Evergreen Aviation.  The museum is around
300 miles from Seattle, in fact.

Just to keep the facts straight....

Sleeping Beauty's castle in Disney World is modeled after a castle in

The separate themes such as The Little Mermaid are broadcast on
separate FM channels.  The floats for one theme tune in to their
respective channel and amplify the music.  Probably the music is being
played on a multi-track tape recorder, with one track for each theme,
and each track being broadcast on a separate frequency.  This lets the
floats for each theme keep playing their own part of the music, but
avoids any potential for the different groups getting out of sync with
each other.  The electronic fanfare introducing the parade is played
from speakers at different places along the parade route as the parade
advances.

A year or more ago there was a special on the Disney Channel giving a
behind-the-scenes look at the Main Street Electrical Parade.  They
showed everything, even what the floats look like in daytime and how a
person steers the small floats that spin around all the time.

BBBZZZZT - Thanks for playing. :-).
	Disney's first real attempt at live action was The Reluctant Dragon
	movie featuring the short of the same name. The next major attempt was
	Song of the South. So Dear to My Heart came in the late 40s and was the
	last step Disney needed before doing a full-length complete live-action
	film, namely Treasure Island. So Dear to My Heart is set in mid-western
	country, probably a little south like Indiana or Kentucky at the turn
	of the century. Picture Little House on the Prarie, but more foresty,
	not so plainy. It concerns a boy who wants a race horse like Dan Patch,
	but falls in love with a black lamb whom he names Danny. He wants to
	have Danny win an award at the County Fair, and the movie is about the
	steps he takes to do that. The animation does not fit into the story at
	all, and is basically the boy's daydreams of an owl who tells him the
	right thing to do. The live-action is a sweet simple story, and the
	animation is included because Walt didn't think at the time anyone would
	see a Disney film without animation. Not a bad little film.
	Of course, I only knew this because I rented it over the weekend.
