I can't comment on the hotels.  I once stayed in the Disneyland Hotel for
a convention.  It is horribly overpriced.  Last time I needed to stay
near the park I stayed in a place called Desert Inn Suites or something
like that.  It was inexpensive and had huge rooms.  (This was in last
September when things are fairly slow.)  It's on the road that is beyond
the parking lot from the park, perpendicular to the street that the
Disneyland Hotel is on.  

The monorail is "in the park".  You have to have a pass to get on it. 
They sell them right at the point where you get on it.

   For those of you who are just a bit confused, Frank Oz plays both
Fozzie Bear and Yoda; (not to mention Miss Piggy and Bert of Sesame Street

to Jim Henson in the comic book Cerebus #162.)

Actually, The Black Cauldron was adapted from a series of books by

I can't speak for Tron.  
I heard that the only original story by Disney was "Lady and the Tramp."

In a way, yes.  If the parking lots are full, Disney will turn cars away or keep
them waiting on I-4.  In the Xmas busy season the backups can last for miles.
They're not refusing you admittance per se, but if you can't get on the grounds
you're out of luck.

On the other hand, guests staying on-site (theme resorts _and_ hotels like
the Buena Vista hotel plaza) get complimentary bus or monorail transportation
to the parks.  Naturally, if you can get to the turnstyles, you're in.
The buses do not stop running if the lots (or parks) reach capacity.

(SOCIAL ENGINEERING TIP)  If you are good at this skill, you can potentially
get a set of bus passes at one of the hotels if you know what you're doing.
(Hint: The passes just list your family name and date of checkout).
Easy parking, and you don't have to go in the main entrance.  If you can't
figure it out from here don't email me lest I incur the wrath of Walt.

Kind of between busy seasons.  That's when I went last year.  Remember that
weekends are easier than weekdays.  Good luck!

Hi,

I need some help. I am looking for a Scrooge McDuck porcelain figurine. The
company name is Tomorrow and Today, the process is called cold cast porcelain.
Mr. McDuck is sitting at his counting desk on a dark wooden base. It is taken
from Mickey's Christmas Carol.  If you good folks happen to see this in your
local Disney store please e-mail me with the location of the store so I can
have my local Disney store order it and have it shipped in for me.

I have tried talking to the Disney Catalog people. They no longer have any in
stock.  My local Disney store said if I can find it they will ship it in for
me.  The big problem is calling all the Disney stores long distance and trying
to get phone numbers.  If any of you can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

Oh, please, don't even whisper such a suggestion!  Fear of video piracy is
Disney's official-corporate-line reason why they release their titles to
laserdisc up to a year later than on VHS tape.  The LAST thing we need is
more piracy!

Argggh!  Bite your tongue!

I'm sure if demand stays strong, Disney will rerelease this title sooner
than seven years from now.  They're only human; wave the promise of enough
green stuff in their faces and the arbitrary moratorium will be shortened,
I'll bet.  And in the meantime, I'm sure we'll scare up (yes, I was the
original poster asking for this title) a copy, though whether at a price
my coworker is willing to pay, I dunno.  ($70-$100??  Pfah!  I'm told
there's a Japanese import LD of TLM going for that!  I'd sooner she buy
that disc, and let me make her a legal, "backup copy" to VHS tape...)

When my wife and I go to Disneyland we usually stay at the Apollo
(now a Travelodge), which is right next door to the Pan Pacific.
(The Apollo isn't fancy, but we don't spend much time at the hotel.
Nan likes to get to the park before it opens and stay until it closes!)  
The Pan Pacific is right next door to the Disneyland Hotel, I'd estimate
it's about a 5 min. or less walk.  You can buy your passport at the monorail
station.  If you want to enter via Main Street rather than Tomorrow
Land you can take a shuttle tram from the DL hotel, or just walk across
the parking lot.
