assistant: We're taking a bunch from my wife's family along with us to Disney World, and
I know that the youngest who are 8 to 10 will have a terrific time. There
will be enough of us 'adults' to share the kids so that we all get some
romantic times as well as family times.  I forget where I read it, but by
September, the Magic Kingdom will have the 20K LUTS back, if briefly, along
with some new attraction based on Goofy.  We're looking forward t seeing the
new attractions as well as our favorites and...well, I guess just about
EVERYTHING!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Ho John, I've heard that the Boardwalk is really neat.  I understand that
it's supposed to look like Atlantic City 'used' to look like during the turn
of the century or so.  Of course, no casinos at Disney!  We hope to actually
tour the place a little, at least the public part and then walk around inside
some.  It should have some public lobby areas.  What seems to be different,
other than the theme, is that they combined some attractions to it, and being
close to Epcot, we should be able to walk out the
International Gateway over there!

assistant: I was the same way when I found out that there is an echo totally devoted to
 Disney. :)
 You like Pooh?  Kewl.. I bought my neighbor her very first Pooh Bear (she
 loves Pooh) Just a month or so ago at the Disney store.  We were there with
 some gift certificates that I had and decided to spend on me instead of the
 kids. :)  We ended up buying me my favorite too,  Tigger!  I've always loved
 him cause he's just like me.. bouncy! :)  We were good.. we did buy
omething
 for each of the kids too.. and my boyfriend.. he got a Toy Story coffee cup
 since that is his ultimately favorite Disney movie.
 (the funny part about this whole thing is that my neighbor and I are both
)
 I can't wait until I can go to  WDW!  My boyfriend has been there many times
 growing up, but, I've never been... so, we're planning on going as a family
 in a couple of years when my youngest is old enough to enjoy it (he's 4).
 Well, welcome to the Disney echo.. and hope to hear from you soon! :)

assistant: Nope, not even close. Read the first paragraph again--there are some

Nice place.
I guess so. Makes it hard for those of us who don't live on both coasts
at the same time, though.
D'ooh, much better question! I shoulda knowed you meant that.
Unless you spend a lot of time holding down a good seat, viewing
Fantasmic can be problematic. Even though I've seen the show twice (both
from the wheelchair viewing area), I would probably opt for the reserved
seating ... once.

Here we go again.  "Gay and Lesbian Day" is not a Disney event.  It is
a self-proclaimed event by a gay and lesbian organization and is not
authorized by the Disney company.
That group holds it every year, and every year people get confused and
think Disney has declared it "Gay Day" or some such, but actually Disney
has nothing to do with it.
When we here on the FidoNet Disney Echo have get-togethers at WDW we
dub it "FidoNet Disney EchoEar Day" but Disney also has nothing officially
to do with that -- it's the same thing.

Easily done!  Try to find a cassette of "The Official Album of Disneyland
and Walt Disney World" at a Disney Store, or call WDW Merchandise Mail
Order (they have a 1-800 toll free number).  It's also found on the
three CD/Cassette set "The Music of Disney -- A Legacy in Song" which is
officially off the market but you can still find copies at Disney Stores.
There are other Disney music compilation CDs/cassettes out there on the
market, you might try a Disney Store or the children's/Disney/boxed sets/
soundtracks section of your local CD/cassette store.  Hope this helps.
