                               'Mickey' search

   Touchstone Pictures has announced a nationwide casting search for a 9- to
12-year-old girl to star opposite Michael J. Fox in the film "Life With
Mickey."  Candidates for the role must be under 5-feet tall, any race or ethnic
background, and be able to "play a funny, smart, streetwise little girl,"
according to the studio.  Auditions will be Saturday at the Walt Disney Studios
in Burbank, and at locations in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco,
Chicago and Atlanta.  If candidates are unable to attend in person, 1/2-inch
videotape auditions will be accepted until that date.  Details: (800) 888-0882.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there could give me the current prices
on taking two children to disney.  There ages are 4 and 7.  I think the
adult price is $35.00.  I plan on going between Christmas and New Year's
Week, I realize it's probably a busy time of year, but if anyone knows
if one day of the week is better than the other, please let me know.

Thanks

More like "Houba!  Houba!"  I grew up reading the adventures of the
Marsupilami and his "owners", Spirou and Fantasio, in the hardbound
_Spirou_ comics by Franquin and/or Roba.  If memory serves, _Spirou_
originated out of France.

The Marsupilami was a creature from Africa with an enormously long,
prehensile tail.  It's also quite intelligent, insatiably curious, and
amphibious.  I used to love attempting to draw him bouncing around gleefully
declaring "Houba!  Houba!" and "Hop!" when he did something spectacular.
Fortunately, those drawings have been destroyed.

I've been meaning for some time to call Disney to ask if they intend to
do anything with the character...

And in an even weirder twist, one of the bands that plays at the
Tomorrowland Terrace (Voyager, I think, but I can never keep their

Color as one of their opening numbers.

Enquiring minds want to know...  :-)

The one-day pass is good in only one park.  You may use the one-day
pass for any of the three parks, but once you enter a park, you
cannot use it to get into another park.

In order to split your day across multiple parks, you must purchase
multi-day tickets.  When we went last November, you could get 3-,
4-, or 5-day tickets, but I think they have eliminated the 3-day
pass.

I was told at the local Video store (Polo Video) that Beauty and the Beast
won't come out on LD until next year. 

 I think the reasoning is that people will buy the tape first rather than go
without, and than buy the LD later if they want an LD.  Money, Money, Money!

28.50 35.90

   The current price for a 1 day ticket to one of the parks (Magic Kingdom,
EPCOT Center, OR Disney/MGM Studios) is as follows:
	Adult:  35.90
        Child:  28.50

   IMHO, Christmas is a great time of year to visit because the parks are
decorated up beautifully.   BUT, the crowds between Christmas and 
New Years are absolutely HUGE (with New Year's Eve being the busiest day 
of the entire year)!  Therefore, expect long waits, especially in the
middle of the day (Noon - 7PM).  The crowds grow a little larger each day 
as New Year's Eve approaches.  Out of the entire week between Christmas and
New Year's, Christmas day is probably the least crowded (especially early in
the morning).

   I hope this helps!

I will be flying out to Florida and doing our families typical tour:
Orlando->Treasure Island->Hollywood Beach. As we are flying out on
Monday 24th. August any response will have to be quick to be useful
to me - sorry for being pushy.

1. Can anyone mail me a full WDW FAQ list? No frills or politeness needed,
   just mail it and you'll be doing me a great service.
   My e-mail is csandy@uk.ac.swan.pyr

2. I picked up on the tail end of a thread regarding thw book
   The Unofficial Guide to WDW, which I would like to buy whilst visiting.
   Details of the book and it's general availability would help.

3. Does the WDW railway again circle the Park after the construction of
   Splash Mountain. ( BTW what's it like, can my 3yr old son ride it?? )

4. Timings about the WDW firework show would help. Last year we
   saw it for the first time during the first week of our stay. In previous
   holiday's it had packed up for the season just before we arrived - will
   we catch it this year???

5. Does anyone know roughly where The Orlando Vacation Resort accomodation is.
   This comes included with our booking ( Virgin Atlantic )  and it's 15 min
   from the entrance to WDW would put it around Kissimmee St. Cloud Area or
   perhaps West from the main gate??? Where exactly is it, what's it like,
   are there any good restaurants near? We don't have to stay there - the
   deal is cheap enough without the accom., but if it's OK it would give us
   more spending money.

6. Not a Disney thing ( apologies ) but what's the deal with Sea World tickets
   that gives would a weeks evening access to Sea World??? Last year there
   was some deal like buying a two or three day pass to Busch theme parks and
   anytime up to 7 days after first use of pass you could get in to Sea World
   after a certain time in the evening for free.

Any further help/advice appreciated. If your mailing me an FAQ and the info
is in there then please disregard the relevant questions.

     "Snow White" has never been released to video, so there's no way to
     get it.  Unless you find a video pirate who has a bootleg copy -
     but that's not to be discussed in public.

     (And don't Email me, because I don't know any video pirates with

     The only thing to do is to buy the - ugh! - Disney Sign-A-Long videos

Would someone please email or post the following information about the
Vacation Club?  It turns out that Disney has not yet registered in
Utah, so when I requested info, they couldn't send it to me.  Here are
my questions:

1) How many points do you get for the various purchase prices (I
   believe that 12K is the minimum buy-in).
2) What are the date ranges (say for 1992 or 1993) and points for each
   type of unit? 
3) I recall hearing that through the year 2000, when you use the
   units, you also get passes.  What kind of passes do you get?
   (are they equivalent to super passes)?  How many do you get?
4) I believe that these are limited lifetime time shares, correct?
   How long is limited.

Thanks for any information.

I don't know about free evenings but for just $4.00 more on a one day ticket
you can get a week pass to Sea World.  I assume this would give you access any
time any day for a week.  I was down in July and didn't know this was
available since I purchased my tickets at the resort.

this is the only time that we can get away.  This is our third time, but we

Disneyworld can be.  We will be staying at one of the Disney hotels.  How 
busy is it? How hard is it go reservations for dining, e.g. character breakfasts?
We usually went to the parks in the early morning, spent afternoons at beach and
returned to parks in early evening.  How bad are lines? Any comments, or 
past experiences would be appreciated.  Thanks.  P.s. Has anyone heard anything

     The production crew of "3 Ninjas," including Jon Turtletaub, the
     director, are veterans of the Oriental chop-socky karate movies of
     Hong Kong and Taiwan.  The marital-arts movies they make over there
     put any "ninja" movie here in the USA to shame.  This is a point in
