Organization: The Amiga GateWay BBS * New Orleans, La.

A few weeks ago here I posted about the new passageway at the Magic
Kingdom in between Adventureland's Tropical Serenade and Frontierland's
Country Bear Jamboree and how cast member Ed Sterrett had told me the
passageway had "just opened".  Someone here at rec.arts.disney responded
that they had seen it open this spring.
 
Ed has written me back and says this pass-thru has indeed been open for
a few months.  He wasn't aware of it until recently, but have found out
that the  "Frontierland Breezeway" was opened this past spring.
 
Even while the Tropical Serenade was being renovated recently it was
still possible to walk around the fenced Tiki area and walk through
the breezeway.

Neither.  Disneyland is Sleeping Beauty Castle, not Cinderella.

Nothing special is going on for EPCOT 10, partially because there are no
new attractions to go along with the special date.

There is a bunch of merchandise with a cool EPCOT 10 logo -- tee-shirts,
sweatshirts, cups (no keychains).  That's sold only in the EPCOT stores,
mostly the Centorium (in CommuniCore East).

Pretty low-key.

Also one of the local supermarkets is running a deal where kids get in free,
or reduced price when you buy $50 worth of groceries...so that could account 
for a lot of it.  We called the Disneyland hotel and we couldn't get a weekend

1) it is Cinderella's castle, despite the King Stephan Restaurant
   in the castle.

2) Sleeping Beauty Castles are at Disneyland, and EuroDisney.

3) the castle at WDW is based on Schloss Neuschwanstein in Bavaria
   Southern Germany, although it is also based on another castle too.

Hi!  Does anyone know if Disney has started issuing Darkwing Duck clothing

made a while back, I hope they got the message!)?  I have a friend who
would love to dress as Darkwing for Halloween.  In particular she needs
to find an appropriate hat and the gas gun - she can probably make the

I found a clipping of a New York Times interview (3-15-92, a year
after Ashman's death) with Alan Menken.  He said that the first
production he and Ashman collaborated on was "God Bless You, Mr.
Rainwater," from Kurt Vonnegut's book.  The play was produced in
1979, while Ashman was the creative director of the WPA Theater in
Manhattan.  The duo never had much success--together or separately--
until Little Shop of Horrors, an adaptation of Roger Corman's 1961
science-fiction movie spoof.

On Howard Ashman's illness, Menken was quoted:

"At the [1990 Oscar] party, Howard told me he was really happy and
then he said that when we got back to New York we would have to
talk.  That was unlike him.  Usually if he had something to say, he
would say it.  I went to his house the following Thursday, and he
told me he had AIDS.  I was devastated."

Menken said he had signed a seven-year contract to work on Disney
films exclusively.

OK.  So maybe we shouldn't have tried it!  After all, weren't
we the ones wondering (before we had a child) why someone
would take a 2-year old into certain attractions at WDW?
Well, maybe it was because _we_ wanted to see some of these
attractions.  Anyway, here's what happened:  We took our 2.5
year old daughter (only child so far) to WDW.  On the first
day we rode the carousel and Dumbo and then went into "Journey
into Imagination".  She was OK during the 3-D cartoon but 
completely flipped out during the movie.  She would not even
go into a dimly lit restaurent for the rest of the week.  She
tried to run out of the hotel room when we turned on the TV!
This lasted for about 2 to 3 weeks.  We could get her to
watch Misterrodgers on public TV and go into McDonald's but
she was so jittery for the first week or two.  My wife and
I felt TERRIBLE!  We thought we gave her a complex for life!
So, be forewarned!  What we think is mild may be very intense
for our little ones!  BTW, she is fine now.  Like I said,
she recovered completely after a few weeks.

Has anybody else had any similar experiences?  PLEASE say
yes so I don't feel like a total failure as a parent!

The first time I saw Cinderella smoking a cigarette backstage it blew
my mind.  One of my favorite things at Disneyland was walking backstage
after a night shift, after the Electrical Parade had ended.  I would
always walk behind Main Street, among all the turned-off, empty EP floats.
You wouldn't believe how tranquil and beautiful they are up so close.....
It was a great way to end the night.  The "Goofy" parade, floats, however,
are a different story.  I have YET to meet a Cast Member that liked that 
parade!! My biggest nightmare was walking to work at 3:15 during the
parade.  Like guests, Cast Members couldn't cross the street until the
guest controls let them.  I always got stuck listening to "Fairway Pharoah"
for 15 minutes, then the damn song was in my head all night.

	I was quoted a price of $45 for the work-in-progress laserdisc.  The 
manager of the videostore thought that Disney might release a "perfect" version
of BatB on laser later.  I don't think that Disney will release a limited
edition of BatB on laser like they did with Fantasia.
	I read that Disney sold 250,000 copies of the limited editions.  Does
anyone know how many of them were laserdiscs?
	I would wait a while to see what Disney does with BatB on laser.  Go 
and buy the work-in-progress; it will be pretty rare once the moratorium sets
in.  Using Fantasia as an example, I think it will be easy to find a limited 
videotape edition this time next year;  dealers and distributors tend to 
over-order Disney titles so that they will have sufficient backstock once 
Disney stops production.  If Disney does not release a limited edition on
laserdisc, buy the videotape edition.  A flawed masterpiece is better than no
masterpiece.

	While I'm talking about Disney videodiscs, can someone post a review 
and ordering information about the Song of the South videodisc from Japan?

Any suggestions on hotels?  I want to visit WDW & Epcot Center

shuttles to the airport and back and transportation at WDW is
good.

So what's the most efficient way to spend my time and cost
efficient also. Should I buy a multiple day pass (if I don't
use it all up, is it good at Disneyland in CA?)

For a long time now, I've been wondering about a Disney short that I saw
a small piece of on the Disney Channel once.  From reading the FAQ, I've
determined that it must be "Bumble-Boogie" from "Melody Time", which
was never released on video.  I know that several early shorts are available
on various compilations, but I haven't been able to find one that includes
BB.  Does anyone know of such  a collection?  I really want to see the rest

I do not regularly read this group, so I would appreciate it if replies could

DEATH you must be kidding...Two and three yr olds don't understand enough
about death to get afraid but they do understand dark and noise and things
kind of jumping out at you.  Besides the Haunted Mansion deals with death 
in a much more realistic and I think frightening way and most kids don't get
upset there until the room where things jump out at you.

"Disney Battle"
 
"Peggy Lee has won another round in her four-year battle to keep Walt
Disney Co. from selling videocassettes of "Lady and the Tramp" without
paying her what she considers a fair share of royalties."
 
"Last week, a panel of three judges on the California Court of Appeals
in Los Angeles upheld a 1988 decision that awarded the singer
$3.2 million.  Lee supplied the voices for four characters in the 1952
animated film and sang three songs in it.  She was paid $3,500 at the
time, and no royalties."
 
"Lee said that after three decisions against Disney, she hopes the
company pays up."
 
"That wish may be premature.  Tom Deegan, spokesman for Walt Disney
Co., said, 'The matter is not yet final.  We are reviewing the court's
opinion and considering all our options.'"
