assistant: On 15 Jun 96  01:26:16, Tammy Bradbury said the following to Cj Norris:
    We started taking my little girl at 4 months... used the baby rooms at
each park and now she can even take a nap when and where I want her to.
Although, I have discovered that one of the best parts of being local is the
fact that since we drive up we can take some relax toys and books and at
unch
time we can either eat in the park or out at the car, {saves money too} if we
eat in the park we go out to the car after and take between a half hour and
forty-five minute break. Gives all of us time to "chill out", especially my
little one.
    I have been here since I was 5 years old and have been trying to leave
since I turned 18, however, I think it may have something to do with the fact
that I have been here so long. >G<
    Catch up to you later this week, trying to arrange my schedule to get to
see Hunchback of Notre Dame this weekend....

    I don't have it, Jammet! I was explaining that I gave it away to my mom's
x-boss! I'm seeing Wakko at the party! He's giving me a copy of the Hunchback
soundtrack! I like the song Topsy Turvy!! It's cool! You should hear it!
    Really? Next April? Oh, COOL!!! Don't forget to come see me! :>
    Yes, he is nice! His real name is Matt. Me and him are going to be
partners in the games! It will be very fun!!
    We are not going on the 21st. We might not go at all. I have been waiting
and waiting for his call...and he won't call...He told me he would once he
gets to Ohio...but he has not. And I'm afraid we might not go...:<
B-bye!

    I don't really like Scar all that much, his one song "I will be king"or

Circle of Life.  I also like it when all the characters came out and
were sing "When you Wish Upon a Star", I was a little upset that Pooh
and Tigger weren't there!  Did you have pretty good seats?  There sure
were a lot of people. Did you see the parade?  Disney must have spent
millions for this premire.   I am definetly jealous.

Yup.  It's really nice how just about every Disney movie has some sort of
moral at the end of the story.  I think one of my favorites was Beauty and
the Beast:  Beauty is found within.  They took a classic fairytale and added
some great characters and came up with a great way to teach us a moral.
That is so true!  I have quite a few things that I wish I could change
if I could go back in time and fix 'em.  Nothing too serious or drastic....
just a few things.
