		Shake hands, claws and paws, *Rich Koster* !
	Yes, I heard there's more than one TLK Muck, a few others
started their own ones. Well, I mean the one with the address
tlk.otterspace.com:7675, I've been there since December 95, and I like
it a lot now =). You could say it has become my family (partly it is.
I've a brother playing there, in real. First he was just a good friend
and now we declared ourselves to be brothers).
	Well, I wouldn't play under any other name than Jammet for
sure (except alternative character roles). It's hard to imagine any
sort of african animal named Minnie or Mickey.. =). Maybe mice, but
well... be aware that there are a lot mice hunting predators around.
=) (giggle).
	What's the address? Can I be the same character I am on TLK
Muck there? Or do I have to chose something different? I've tried
Furry Muck a few days ago. Well, maybe I join there, although I've
heard some strange things about it. It has something to do the with
adults there <sigh>. Maybe you know about that. Poor Muck...

        Yes, I know what you mean, I feel the same. I like the movies
with animals more because they are more peaceful, mostly. They can
also make you feel more respect for any animal on the world, I think
this is something very important. Not that I never had respect for
animals, but I am sure I'd miss something if I wouldn't have seen the
Disney movies with them.
        Talk to you later,

    (speaking of the Fox and the Hound)
        That ... sounds really cruel. I can imagine it, although I
didn't have a chance to see it yet. Yes, I'm very sure that this
scence is gonna make me cry.... hard!
        Now that is surely a more happy part of it all, with a lot of
singing =). That's something you'd enjoy, wouldn't you? Well I would
love it! An owl? Well, in disney everythings possible =). A fox cub
adopted by a human is something very strange, but it sure a lovely
part of it, showing that some humans can be really nice and caring,
even to animals. Wow...
        I think I remember something of the short scenes I've from it
on my TLK tape. The hunter yells, "It's the fox agaaain!!" and it is
dark, stars can be seen at the sky. I'm sure that's a scene where that
hunter thinks the fox had his beady eye on the chickens. Right?
        Another dog? I thought it was his friend himself (which is
really mean). Maybe he too?
        Of course... =). That is in every disney movie! Romaantic...
        (smile).
        They started selling it here about two months or three ago. I
didn't buy it yet because I bought the Beauty and the best. But this
movie is certainly gonna by the very next one! =) Thank you for
telling me some things about it... that's very nice of you!!
        Talk to you later! =)

assistant: Hi Kit,
Congrats on the tickets.  MSEP is scheduled to run until Oct. 15. Some rumors
are that it may be around possibly until Thanksgiving, but don't plan on it
that late in the season.  Currently it is running nightly (with a single
performance on M-Th), I don't know if it will continue nightly after Labor
Day, or just become a weekend show until the end of it's run.  If you do come
in the summer, the earlier the better, stay absolutely away from August
through Labor day.

assistant: Dear Jim:
Glad you enjoyed my input about your trip.
Cape Canaveral is very interesting.  My son and husband went to a
weekend Space Camp last year in Florida, and both my kids will be going
this December for 5 nights.
I hope that the few days you are planning will be enough for you.  I
think you will love the space of the Old Key West Resort (which used to
be called the Disney Vacation Club).
I don't think the time frame you are going is as busy as in July and
early August.  I would suggest everyone wear a hat, carry a waterbottle
(with the new strapped ones you can just hang it on your shoulder), and
if it starts raining get to a store and buy a $5.00 or so rain poncho
with Mickey Mouse!
Take care, and have a great trip.  I will be in California when you go,
but post a note about your trip, we are all interested.

Thanks for all of your great tips about viewing areas.  Regretfully my
mother just informed us that she will not go to Disneyland with us after
all.  I wish she would in some ways, but she was really only going to
see her grandchildren's reactions to going to Disneyland for the first
time.  She feels the heat and crowds would be too exhausting for her.
She does get exhausted easily so she is probably right.
You asked:
Yes, I did get your internet mail and thank you.  Regretfully I seem to

assistant: Yoo Hoo John:
Welcome to the board.  We are also owners in the DVC (Key West resort)
and we stayed for the first time at DVC last year (11 nights).
We do love the room.  We are coming down again from December 1 to
December 14th.  My sister-in-law and her husband and two children will
be with us (we're getting a studio for them), and my mother-in-law has
just told us she is coming too :-(.
You said:
We'll stop over and check JB=> out the new Boardwalk resort which is
also part time-share.  We got the JB=> points conversion tables for it
already, but I think because it's their JB=> first year, they're
charging to the hilt for it!  We'll wait until it come JB=> down a bit.
Does all this make us Disney fanatics as well? JB=> Perhaps...<grin>
Boy, I hope you are right about the Boardwalk resort points going down.
I couldn't believe the expense!  I didn't (and don't) think it's very
fair.  I couldn't even consider staying there for that point cost this
year, and the rooms don't look bigger or anything.
A couple of people who are DVC on this board:  Sue Kobel and Joe Ranney.
I think you probably are Disney fanatics if you've stayed at most of the
other resorts too, means you go a lot!
I've been laying low somewhat, but am back now.  Assuming we can get
some interesting discussions going about WDW, DL or the resorts, etc.
I'll keep on answering.  I'm really tired of the Lion King/Pocahontas
discussions, stories, picture discussion that are going on, and I know
of one other person that mostly lurks now because of it.  Even the
Kosters seem not to be as involved (although that may be because of
their baby).
Take care and write again.

My recent "Family Fun" magazine had an insert in it about "Hunchback".
The Disney Stores will be offering $6.00 tickets (with a small
lithograph per ticket) for a "Hunchback" preview on June 21, 22 and
23rd.  The showings will be at 8:30 a.m., and there are no discounts
(MKC) for the tickets.
We are excited.  The tickets go on sale on May 26th (I thought it was
May 25th, but my Disney Store said 5/26).
Enjoy.

His name is Gurgi. I haven't yet seen "Black Cauldron". I'm looking
forward to it as well, especially considering all the stink the critics
have raised over the film. I can't believe it's as bad as some say, but
I need to find out for myself.
