assistant: I would suggest you contact Martha at the Disneyana Exchange.  There is
a newsletter which comes out monthly with wanted, for sale, and trade items.
TheDisneyana Exchange acts as a neutral gobetween.  Subscribers ($24.00 per
year) tell her what they want to receive, she adds a 10% sellers premium and
then lists either the lowest or three lowest asking prices.  The buyer has to
pay 10% over that.  The buyer calls her, she verifies with the seller that
item is still for sale, seller ships to her while she calls buyer to send
payment to her, she inspects item to make sure both undamaged and what it
actually is, she allows time for check to clear and then transships item to
buyer, after time allowing buyer to receive item and examine it, she sends
the payment to the seller.  On this, for example if you wanted to sell an
item for $300, she would list it for $330 and the buyer would pay $363; you
get your $300, she gets $63 but has long distance and shipping costs.
   Her phone number is 407-438-5634; Monday to Friday 9 to 6 Eastern Time.
Recent issue shows Jiminy (wheel or clef) for $195 and complete kit (wheel)
for $255, so cost to buyer would be $204.50 or $280.50 for the complete kit.

assistant: Yes it was very serious. I am in a new study procedure where they
took lasors and made 26 holes in my heart to get the blood out to
the muscles directly. I was #2 in the hospital in New York City

April. I guess they have done others since then. I am doing much
better now after the procedure and in another month I will be
returning for my second follow-up visit. I return every 8 weeks
to see how I am doing.
As fa as the club goes. Call around and you will find a place to

also gives out the club membership.

Yep, I have a gold Magic Kingdom card.  The one you get through work is good,

you can't use it in the Disney Stores or the stores at WDW for the 10%

They do send great package deals with the cards and I, for one, think that it

Hi Vince:
For one thing the FREE card doens't enable you to save the 10% at the Disney
Stores or the shopping areas at WDW and Disneyland.  You also get the Disney
Catalog and a magazine which is very informative as to what is going on at
the parks.  In the catalog, you can order items and sometimes they even put a
spcial trip in there for gold card holders.  It is up to you if you want to
spend the money to join, but I, for one, am very happy with it.  The packages
available are pretty nice also.
