assistant: Walt had some wonderful ideas. It would have been one thing to just
throw a park together with all varieties of rides all in the same area.
That would have been like the normal amusement parks of the day. Walt
decided to separate them based on themes - and it really worked quite
well! It worked so well that my wife went to Disneyland and never even
visited Fantasyland. She was with grown-ups (whatever that means) and we
all know that grown-ups aren't interested in Fantasyland. For her visits
they went on the "exciting" rides like Thunder mountain and Space
Mountain and all that. I guess she must have gotten to FL with the
Matterhorn, but other than that she was not even aware of it! I took her
there in 1993 and she had never been on Dumbo or the dark rides or
anything! sad, really.
I like to go spend great amounts of time in FL. I love the whole park at
DL, but FL is my fav. I spend lots of days in a row at DL and see all
areas of the park (the public ones, at least), but I spend pert of every
day there at FL. I can't get enough of "Alice In Wonderland" or "Dumbo's
Flying Elephants" or "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" or any of the others. I have
been known to go on "Alice In Wonderland" four or five times in a row
and even video-tape it! The only thing I DON'T do in FL is ride those
cursed tea-cups from hades. Actually, they're cute and a great ride -
I'm just not into spinning.
Toon Town is excellent. They just put one in at Tokyo DL and are very
proud of it. I have seen maps and pictures and all that. They made
their's bigger than ours, but the buildings and everything look exactly
the same.
Anyway, I just love Disneyland....

assistant: Well, it is busy all summer long, but if you have an annual pass, you
can go there in the evening for a few hours, and not have to spend all
day there with the crowds.  Most people get there first thing in the
morning, so by the end of the day, their tired out, and want to get
back to their house/hotel.
Well, you get a special number you can call to get park info and such,
you get a schelude of park hours for 3 months at a time, and they offer
discounts (sometimes) for some things at the parks and such.
Plus, with the Annual Pass, you don't have to pay for parking.
Hope I've helped you out a bit.

pretty hot here lately and you might want to schedule breaks during the
day.  Don't worry though...there is plenty to do during the short rain
at Disney...you can do lots of indoor things then....
P.S.  Just wanted to add a thing that alot of people miss...if your
going to go to MGM Studios and you go to the Sound Effects show ( I
forgot what it was called :)) DO NOT miss the booths in the area you go
into after the show!!!!  They are 3D sound booths and are REALLY fun!!!

*GM Test Track*
As construction continues rapidly on the GM Test Track, vehicles are
being cycled currently.  Advanced word says that the unique thrill
attraction will be running the cars through regularly (the show
design will not be completed, however) in time for a press walk-
through this coming September.  Slated to open in Spring of 1997,
this alliance between General Motors and Disney will feature a
journey in test vehicles that undergo harsh weather testing, various
road surfaces, close encounters with semi-trucks and finally, a
harrowing high-speed trip around the test track that circumnavigates
the outside structure.  Stay tuned for more details!
**Universe Of Energy**
This revamped attraction was supposed to open this past June, however,
 preliminary tests sent things back to the drawing board, reportedly
something that wasn't quite right about the Ellen Degeneres Audio-
Animatronic figures inside the ride.  Ellen's face is being re-
designed, hopefully in time for the 25th Anniversary of Walt Disney
World.  To make up for the delay, the original UOE has been re-opened.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As if New Tomorrowland wasn't enough, plan have finally been revealed
for an Anaheim second gate!  Taking the place of the planned $3
billion WESTcot, Disney's California Adventure will feature Hollywood
Boulevard, a neon and deco re-creation of Tinseltown's booming studio
district in the 1930s and '40s. The Sunset Boulevard district pays
homage to Hollywood landmarks such as the Beverly Wilshire Theater.
Guests can also experience movie rides, action shows, Hollywood-
themed restaurants and studio tours.
A boardwalk area promises thrills as plans include a new
rollercoaster!  Though its architecture mimics an old-fashioned
wooden coaster, designs call for a loop topped with Mickey Mouse
ears!  Other elements include a 100-foot long lift, a first drop of
85 feet, over 1500 feet of track and a climactic double helix.
