assistant: Back in April, Doug Rapson was seen drooling over WDW breakfast menus...
Hi Ho Doug!  Couldn't get by your message without some pangs in the stomach
(especially since I'm typing this before having breakfast!).  Just wanted to
correct a change regarding breakfast on the Empress Lilley.  The character
breakfast was discontinued there, in 1995, I think.  We made it there before
and it was a fantastic setting for having a Character breakfast--if you don't
mind the kids.  Actually, we don't mind the kids since we feel like kids
whenever we're at WDW!  I don't know if breakfast is truly outstanding
anywhere in WDW, and certainly they're not cooked like some we've had at some
very nice Bed & Breakfast places, but it's the scenery that counts, the
venue, the atmosphere.  Well, we found Tony's just terrific for breakfast!
They did have fantastic cinnamin rolls, and I had the Mickey pancakes (or was
that waffles?).  You're right in that there are so many choices, and probably
NOT enough time or money to hit them all!  Have fun in August!

viewed, or collectors copy(meaning brand new, never out of the

know Lady and the Tramp has been off the shelves for a long time,
and the Little Mermaid has been taken off the shelves for a short
time (it has been only a few months since they have been taken down).
And 101 Dalmatians - I think is still out in stores.

 It was filmed in New Mexico???  I don't really know and that is a
 guess.  Rex Allen...I never knew his name.  I also like any Disney
 movie that starts out with that paintbrush!
 Easy! "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"...hands down! I even had a cat that we
 named (there was some argument so everyone named him) Prince Charmin
 Cosmic Creepers. He was just a Siamese mix, but we called him Charmin.
 We had just seen "BK &BS" and my mama loved the cat Cosmic Creepers in
 it.  So.....she fought long and hard for that name.  I now have a cat
 named C.C. that she believes stands for Cosmic Creepers...it doesn't,
 but we have to humor our parent, ya know! :-)
