assistant: Welcome to H.B.L.K.'s Pride...ISABELLE GELINAS!!!
 Hello Isabelle (or Izzy, depending on your preference).
 Yes.  I did go to school.  I graduated from Centennial College here in
 Scarborough in the field of accounting.  I used to draw as a way to pass
 time too, but now I do writing like poetry once in a while.  "La belle et
 la bette" was a really good movie. (but then again, Celine Dion sang the
 theme song for it along with Peabo Bryson).  "Cendrillon" is one of my
 fiancee's favourite movies as well. ("Un reve est desire ton coeur
 fais...")  My fiancee name is Heather-Lynn.  It is because of her that I
 have rediscovered my love for Disney.
 Au revoir, ma belle Isabelle.

Hey, as a native Californian, I'm offended. ;)  Disneyland is not as
geographically large as WDW, but that makes it easier to get around as
well.  There's also some attractions you can find at DL that aren't at
WDW.  I think our biases lay with which coast we're closer to, so the
person who told you Disneyland "isn't as good" was probably an East
Coaster. <g>  You should come to DL and decide for yourself, it's Disney

Were you here on the 4th??? My nephew is visiting and we decided to
spend the 4th at the Magic Kingdom.....well we got to the parking lot
and were handed a card that said..."We're Sorry, the Magic Kingdom park
is filled to capacity and not expected to re-open"  Weeeellllllll we
just went over to MGM which wasn't really a big deal for us living so
close....but I felt really bad for the people that had only maybe that
one day left or something and couldn't get into the park.
Actually if it was THAT full I'm glad we didn't get in....MGM was just
fine...not many lines at all.
So what did you do???  How was Boardwalk??? We're talking about going
over and checking it out one of these days....The hubby HAS to see the
ESPN thing.... :(
Hope you had a good time.

No, it is not a word as some thought -- it is "S F X"  (note, not E but F)
which stands for special effects and is a common abbreviation for that
in the movie industry.  The letters are in the dust swirling in the air
and it was a little joke that the special effects in that part of the
movie actually spelled out the special effects abbreviation if you look
extremely close at it.
No, that is Aladdin talking to the tiger, telling him to take off and
go rather than taking a bite out of him.  The tiger was trying to protect
Princess Jasmine.
That never appeared in the movie, but was artwork that appeared on
some of the videocassette packaging.  Once it was discovered that an
artist had subtlely worked that into the background it was replaced.
But it never appeared in the movie itself, either in the theaters or
in the video version.
You have good taste!  8=-)  Thanks for adding to the Disney fun here,

assistant: Yoo Hoo Rich:
Your partial reply to me regarding picking a topic:
Rich, I agree with you that reading the subject lines and picking and
choosing is the way to go.  The problem is that A LOT of people are not
changing their subject lines.  Possibly people are too busy to notice,
but this prevents me from being able to just scan a for a topic I like
when the subject line often looks interesting but then is about a new
story or picture someone has drawn about The Lion King, etc.
Rich, you are generally very good about changing the subject line (and
so is Carol), but your subject line to me said DVC, and your message was
not about the DVC (we all make mistakes and I am in no way taking your
family to task).
I would just request that everyone be more aware of their subject line.
I know that some of what some of the younger people say who are so
interested in Lion King is interesting, but lately I have either been
deleting messages based on the sender/receiver or wasting my time
reading messages that are personal in nature and not intended for anyone
but the receipient.
Thanks for letting me let off steam and I had a great time at Disneyland
and will share more of my trip later.

assistant: Hi Nancy,
Actually we flew out on the 4th.  We had visited the MK a couple of
times just to hit the attractions we wanted.  The crowds were miserable.
 Normally this is NOT the tome we visit WDW, but were close enough and
made the time to do it.
It was PACKED!!  WE did the stuff that was cool and no waits - TTA,
Dreamflight, CoP, etc.  The longest wait we allowed ourselves to do was
30 mins for BTM.  All of our other favorites we rode if less than 30
mins.  We would bail out of the park just after lunch and head back to
the DVC OKW or BW.
We also found MGM and Epcot to be much less crowded.
We ended up in a studio at the BW.  It was a bit tight for the 4 of us.
We had a 1 BR at OKW - much nicer.  We stayed on the Villa's side and
did not see the hotel side.  It was a lot of fun tho.  Did you see my
short trip report?  We ate at Spoodles and rented a Surrey and made the
tour around Crescent Lake.
I grabbed a menu from ESPN if you are interested in anything in
particular.
