believe it because everyone I know that wanted a SOTS LD have been able
to get it for around what I paid ($70). Also, Disney must have known
that all LD players would be able to play the Japanese disks. Like I
said, I am skepitcal about this one.
I just wish they would release it normal here in the states. In fact, if
they put out a collector's edition with extra material and letterboxed
it I would consider buying SOTS again. I like special versions of
things.

Write your reply.

assistant: I don't know what you're talking about. The LD I have is, indeed, in
Japanese. It has two complete soundtracks. The main one is in Japanese.
Most of the songs are sung in English and that's why it has Japanese
subtitles. The reprise editions of Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, however, are sung
in Japanese. The second (alternative) soundtrack is the original,
English soundtrack of the film. Your disc may not be in Japanese, but
mine sure is! I'm glad of it, too. It makes it more special to me. I can
watch it in either of the two languages, using the same disc. If yours
isn't in Japanese then you have something different than what I bought
from Ken Crane's Laser Disc. I watch it in Japanese at least as often as
I watch it in English!

assistant: Tokyo Disneyland operator Oriental Land Co has signed a contract with
a subsidiary of Walt Disney Productions <DIS.N> to build the 250
billion yen Tokyo Disney Sea, which will be built on a tract of about
396,000 square meters adjacent to Tokyo Disneyland east of the
capital.
This is exciting news for fans of Tokyo Disneyland who just got their
very own Mickey's Toontown.  The Tokyo Disney Sea project includes
some incredible thematic elements including an area called American
Waterfront which is scheduled to have a very "normal" looking
skyscraper which turns out to be a new version of the Tower of Terror.
Also included in plans are a "Journey To The Center Of The Earth"
attraction, the Arabian Coast, featuring new attractions and
attractions based on "Aladdin", and also an area with "Little
Mermaid" themed entertainment including thrill rides.

took all that much to tour resorts, but we've been to the Contemporary,
Polynesian, Dixie Landings, Floridian (parts of it), and of course Old Key
West.  We want to visit the ones around Epcot, including the new Boardwalk.
Although as members of DVC we can swap Disney resorts, it's not profitable to
do so, thus we stay at Old Key West.  Been trying to get an idea of what to
expect at November at WDW.  That's a new time of the year for us!

Thanks for your reply, and all of the interesting information about the

we drove east on Artesia Blvd. through BM=> the aptly named city of
Dairy Valley. Yoo Hoo, any of you Southern Cal. BM=> EchoEars wanna
guess what the city of Dairy Valley calls itself today?"
Is Dairy Valley now San Fernando?
I grew up in Lompoc, California (about 50 miles north of Santa Barbara).
I am not yet on the WWW, so I can't chat on the internet, but I will
probably call a few days before we get to DL.
Thanks for all the tips.  It's nice that DL has some very different
things than WDW isn't it?
" BM=> You can now get one, two, or three day

Fantasmic and the Main Street Electrical BM=> Parade deserve a night
each. I don't know where you got the idea that BM=> Fantasmic cost $35,
it's free like all the parades once you get into the BM=> Park."
We are going for 5 days/4 nights and have purchased the new
Flex-Passport (5 consecutive days for the price of 2 - but you have to
buy them with a package plan or through the mail ahead of time)
Also, I was so tired when I posted that what I meant about Fantasmic was
is it worth it to pay $35 or so to view it from the Disney Gallery
balcony with a dessert buffet.  I wish I had worded this correctly so
people could answer my question (for those who have done this) before I
leave.
(Unless BM=> of course you want to take a laptop and report live!)"
I will report back, but I don't have a laptop, so it will be a while.
