assistant: Hi People,
   I know right now you all are asking yourselfs what does bowling have to do
with Disney....well guess what I learned the other day. You are able to buy
bowling balls with Mickey,Minnie or Goofy on them. Yep and they even come in
great colors too....Mickey is a nice blue ball and of course Minnie is a pink
balls and also Goofy is kind of a light purple balls...These are great folks.
So all you Disney fans who love to bowl can have Disney and bowl too. I am
planning on getting my own ball and of course it is going to be Mickey Mouse
(which I love).
  If anyone else knows of any other sport that you are able to get Disney
characters in please let me know. :)
                             Thanks and Happy Bowling Folks

assistant: Sorry that you didn't care for it to much, but I do know what you mean,

and of course "Winnie the Pooh's Many Adventures",(my favorite video),
they all made you feel good and singing and laughing and wanting more.
I didn't see Toy Store yet, hope to see it on video soon, heard it was
good.
I wasn't impressed with Pocohatas, at all, it was different from the
three movies before it, and I hate to say it but I don't think that
Disney will be able to top the movie "The Lion King", of course, this is
my opinion.

assistant: I don't know if we will be going or not yet, still talking about it, we
will probably go in the winter time here (Michigan) or the fall time
here.  It was hot when we went in April, it was in the high 90s to low
100's, actually I think it hit 100, one day, but that was definetly
enough for us, you don't seem to enjoy yourself as much hot and tired.
Is that Old Key West place on the Disney grounds?  It's not the new
hotel is it?  I heard that they opened the Boardwalk, it was still being
built when we were there in April '95,  we thought about staying in the
Disney Carribean, or the All Sport Hotel, a little less expensive, that
way we can spend money on other things, like Winnie the Pooh things.
Well talk at you later.

with HOND as well as with The Rock.  There was a third film released

Write your reply.

assistant: I couldn't agree with you more about the changes making it all the more
worthwhile to keep returning to Disneyland, in my case, to Magic Kingdom.
What Disney Imagineers did when creating MK/DL was, as you say, brilliant, by
separating the 'kingdoms' so completely.  You walk through between any two
and it's magically and instantly changed!  One moment you're in Adventure
land, and the next it's Frontier Land!  At WDW, Epcot and D-MGM Studios
aren't quite as good with separating their areas.  But, I think the
separation at MK/DL must have been due to space requirements with buildings
taking up much more of the park land than they do at Epcot/D-MGM Studios.  I
think they're expanding MK's Mickyland with a Toontown area, but not sure
about it. It'll be fun to see all the new stuff come November we get to go
again!

resort and vacation villas for the Disney vacation club.  I would imagine
they're selling memberships for that resort as well.  The attractions are the
kind of things you might see at Atlantic City when it was what it used to
be...a collection of gamerooms, eating places and entertainment.  Not a whole
lot, but I think it's more accessible to the public than these places are at
other resorts.  If I get over there I'll report on it!
