It's true.  The working name for the team is, unfortunately, The Mighty
Ducks.  One can but hope that they will change that, if nothing else.
If they don't, it will be the first time, to my knowledge, that a major
sports team has been named after a film.  

Michael Eisner is apparently a big hockey fan.  The cost for buying
in (no players' or coaches' salaries or other operating costs, yet) was
around $50 million.  (Part of it was a franchise fee to the NHL, part 
was a payment to the owner of the LA Kings to compensate him for 
infringing on his territory.)  Eisner pointed out that this price is
up there with the cost of a single large movie, like "The Rocketeer" or
"Billy Bathgate", but he isn't counting in the continuing costs of running
the team, if it doesn't succeed.  I don't know what hockey salaries are
like, but, if they're anything at all like football, baseball, or
basketball salaries, running the team would be an expensive proposition,
unless Disney can really get the butts into the seats.  I could easily
see Disney, as a company, losing a few hundred million over several years,
unless they make the team popular.

The NHL hopes that Disney marketing will make not just this team, but
hockey in general, more appealing to the masses.  Just what Disney hopes
for isn't clear.  One clue, though, is that Anaheim had recently built
a hockey stadium and had a financial deal whereby they would be out
lots and lots of money if they didn't find a team to fill it within the
year.  It's not impossible that Disney is building up good will with the
city government to ease the way for some of the difficult times likely
to arise during the building of Westcot.  Or, perhaps, Eisner has
brilliantly foreseen that the next major frontier for film studios is
in sports franchises.  (Paramount already owns a team of some sort, I
think a hockey team.)

I think that you may be referring to Lisa KEENE.  She's a veteran
background artist who served as the background supervisor for Beauty
and the Beast and The Rescuers Down Under (forgot to check Aladdin's
credits).  She also supervised background painting on many Disney
Afternoon episodes.  Note the spelling of their names--I don't think
they're related. :-)

Glen's wife is named Linda--if you see her name in any credits,
please let us know.  To my knowledge, Glen and Linda (not that I
know them personally!) have a daughter Claire, age 13, and a son Max,
who is 11 years old.

Now, I think that's the limit--we shouldn't go prying into their
lives like they were the Royal Family!

	On the grounds of Disney World, right across from Pleasure Island  
entrance... there is the casting center!!  This is where to go if you want  
a normal job at Disney.  What you have to do is:


		1) Show up early, before it opens (call to find out when
		   exactly that is)

		2) Have some job goals listed, a resume', and skills

		3) When you walk in, they will give you time slot in
		   which you watch a 15 minute presentation
		   *** It's alot of fun!!!
		
		4) After this you get an appointment card and sit
		   around for a while filling in some paperwork

		5)  When it's your turn they take you into an office
		    for an interview where job openings are discussed
		    *** They will only hire you if they have an opening
			that day for the job you're looking for
			This list is given to the casting center every
			morning

		6) After this you are either hired or not!!!


Notes: YOU MUST have a permanent address down there and be ready to  
IMMEDIATELY go to work.  They don't care what you're story is because they  
know the next person can fill that spot just as good and there's plenty of  
next persons!!!!  Also, make sure you go in with the Disney LOOK, Clean  
shaven, no beards or mustaches, Nice clothes, etc.!!

They have a number to the casting center(which I don't have on me write  
now, sorry!!)  that can help answer any questions you could possible have  
and they are extremely nice(of course, there DISNEY)

I hoped this helped!!!

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1.8 PL6]

While we were visiting WDW in September, we had two delightful
conversations with monorail pilots.  And both mentioned plans for two new
attractions for WDW.  One is a real community/town.  It is supposed to be a
real incorporated city, with people living there and stores/schools/etc.
The other is another theme park (to make the total four - MK, Epcot,
Studios, and the new one).  Has anyone else heard these rumours?

More specifically, they did say that three new lands were being added to
the world showcase in EPCOT in the next few years and a new hotel/lodge is
under construction about half way between Fort Wilderness and the
Contemporary Hotel.  It is supposed to be something like the lodge at Old
Faithful in Yellowstone.

As an aside, you really ought to try to get a ride in the cab of a
monorail.  It is great.  You have to ask a cast member as you enter the
waiting platform.  And you may have to wait for one or two trains to go by,
but it pays.  We exitted EPCOT after the laser show and instead of taking
the bus directly back to our resort, we got on the monorail for the TTC and
took a bus from there.  Since there were not many people riding the
monorail that way, we had no trouble getting into the cab.

Hey folks, I wonder if you can help me out. I will be going to Disneyland
for my first time this weekend.  I have made reservations at a couple of
different hotels and would love anyones input on any of them.  They are
The Pan Pacific Hotel, The Jolly Roger Inn, and the Candy Cane Inn. I
will probably end up at either the Pan Pacific (due to its location) or
the Jolly Roger (due to it s high rating in a Disneyland guide I bought).
Any comments would be welcome.  Another question I had was if I stay at
the Pan Pacific I will be able to walk to the Disneyland Hotel and take
the monorail into the park.  Do I need my passes before I get on the
monorail or can I buy them when I am in the park?  Thanks in advance for
your help!

I can't disagree with this, but if EVERYONE could own the tapes, people would
refuse to pay $29.95 for them.  I don't know much about business, but I know
Disney Co. would make more money by offering these videos for limited time
only.  What's wrong with capitalism?  Did anyone swear you'd get a copy of
each of your daughter's favorite tapes because you're an American?

Actually, if you think about it, Disney hasn't released ANY animated
films that haven't been written by Disney themselves.


The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, 101 Dalmations, Cinderella,
Sleeping Beauty, Pinoccio, Jungle Book, Sword in the Stone, The
Rescuers, Alice in Wonderland are ALL remade by Disney, but not
originally written by them. The only exception is Fantasia which had no
plot to begin with.

Come to think of it, Disney's only ORIGINAL movies altogether were Tron
and The Black Hole. Someone please tell me if there are others because
I'm trying to make a good argument for why Disney feels that they should
have exclusive rights to certain 'classics', but still decide to yank
them from video shelves for 6 or 7 years.

P.S. Maybe 'Herbie' was another original?

Here in the UK we have "Cadbury's World". It's basically a walk round the

On the wall outside, credit for this part of the attraction goes to the people
