I see your point.  However, please try not to see my situation with Daly as
more justification to ban such threads.  Many more people on this echo (than
not) have had trades or buy/sell situations which have worked well for them,
and as a result, they are now happier people for those trades or sales.  It
is always thrilling when you've been looking for a particular Disney movie or
collectable, and someone on the echo kindly says "I have one, would you like
it?"  Most people on this echo are great people, who would never rip off or
deceive anyone, or fail to come through when asked.  Disney lovers are
special people, and I find them to often have more magic and warmth in their
hearts than most people.  Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole basket.
Um....I posted two messages to Mr. Daly before I read this one.  You have my
apologies.  As I said in my last message though, I had decided on my own the
thread was to be over anyway.  So be at peace, sir Richard of Ears... :-)

Write your reply.

assistant: (This is from Carol:)
Yoo Hoo, EchoEARS!
I just read on the Internet Usenet newsgroups rec.arts.disney.parks
and alt.disney.disneyland that the run of Main Street Electrical
Parade at Disneyland, originally set to end October 15, has been
extended.  The parade will go on hiatus after October 15 (and three
private parties that same week) to resume November 1-25.  Its last
performances will be the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend.  The
extension is due to what Disneyland spokespeople say is
unprecedented interest in the parade, which has run at Disneyland
for about 24 years.  There have been record-setting crowds at
Disneyland the past several weekends as people try to cram into the
park to see the parade one last time and massive traffic tie-ups on
the Anaheim city streets and freeways leading to Disneyland.

assistant: First of all, congratulations for at least two wise decisions.  At least in
a couple of years Cinderella's Castle should be back to normal.  As far as
the wedding, the only answer is how much do you want to spend?  The current
rules of the "Fairy Tales Weddings Department" (and that is its real name)
are with more than 15 people in the wedding party  and use of the Wedding
Pavilion you have to spend at least $5,000 plus tax and gratuities on food
and beverage, photography, flowers, and "special" items (such as character
appearances, glass coach, etc.) as well as using at least 50 "room nights" at
any of the Disney hotels (this is any combination of rooms and nights, such
as 17 rooms for 3 nights, etc.) and the rooms do NOT have to be paid for by
you.  Your best bet is to call the WDW main switchboard and ask for the FTWD
and take it from there.

Nope.  But you can get it on Laserdisk if you REALLY look for it.  I have
heard in the past that Ken Kranes in LA carried it... but they didn't have it
when I got mine in the spring.  Easiest way to find one is to post a note on
usenet -- alt.video.laserdisk.  Someone will tell you they've got one,
probably at about $125.
I picked one up from Tower Video in Paramus NJ for $50.  It was a pain the
he
butt finding someone to get it for me though.
Of course, to view it, you'll need to rent a video player & maybe record it
for your personal viewing pleasure.  Don't make copies for others, though.

        Windows95 finally paid off.
        So basically dont come to the park looking for me.  Though if you

  We have a very small flea market in Lisbon Falls, Maine.  There were

I picked Snow White and 7 Dwarfs because I have a granddaughter that is now 1
year old and I thought it would be nice that this would be the first film
that she sees from Walt Disney...it was the first film that I saw when I was
a little girl. Oh yes...the used films comes from a video store.
   Hope this answers some of your questions. I am sorry couldn't answer the
