There is a show there called the Diamond Horseshoe Jamboree.
It's inside a small restaurant inside the Magic Kingdom.
You have to make reservations for it at the front of the park when
you go in.  To make a long story short, you go inside the restaurant,
sit down and order a sandwich or something, and then a bunch of
cowboys and ladies dance all around the place.  It's great!
I guess I'm not doing it any justice with the small summary of what
happens, so you gotta go see it to appreciate it!
 Have fun and say hi to Mickey for me!  :)

Belle was in the movie?  Wow!  I completely missed it!  I just love when

I think the movie was okay, but not that great.  It seemed just

I just wasn't expecting that from a Disney movie.

assistant: Welcome to H.B.L.K.'s Pride....TAMMY BRADBURY!!!
 By far, TLK has got to be my fave Disney flick as well.  I just hope that
 LK II isn't given the same quality as Aladdin 2 was. (Will we see Matthew
 Broderick as Simba?  Nathan Lane back as Timon? Only time will tell.)  My
 prediction will probably be that it'll be straight to video as well, and
 the animation will be along the lines of "The Adventures of Timon and
 Pummba" cartoon series.  As for Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin, IMO,
 he MADE that movie.  Without him in Aladdin 2, it was (my belief) a
 straight to video flop.  Although, I've heard rumours that he's supposed to
 be back as the Genie in Aladdin 3 (unfortunatly, also a straight-to-vid
 deal).  Let's just pray that LK II will not fall into the same boat as
 Aladdin 2.
