Nothing is planned for now.  Michael, Carol and I plan on being at WDW
for the week of Monday, September 2nd.
Since you live so close to WDW, would you like to organize one?  I could
give you some tips.
Well, before I can help you there, I need to know what kind of Internet
service you have.  Do you have a UNIX shell account for your web page?
That's what I have so I know what to tell you if your service uses
UNIX commands.

We'll have complete details once we get a chance to write about it, hopefully
this weekend, but I'll reply quickly here, Tammy.  It was the best show
I've seen anywhere -- kinda like all the Disneyana Convention shows
rolled together into one!  It was that good!
EXCELLENT!!!  Go see it!!!
Great seats!  Just a little right of center, 12 rows up from the front!
Over 65,000!
We saw it on the huge video screens inside the dome.  Disney
provided coverage of all the parade, not just the short bit that
was edited for the Disney Channel.
We also saw what we had our VCR set to tape from the Disney Channel
and local coverage here in New Orleans.
Yup!
Aw, don't be!

sponsors of all the Disney things (like advertizers on the Disney-owned

They would quickly see how futile this is.
I can say, I was at Disneyland this last week and it was VERY crowded.
Nobody seems to be boycotting it. I also saw a LOT of people wearing
Christian shirts (Christian slogans, witness wear, etc.), so I am
convinced that NO ONE is taking this boycott seriously.

I don't think there's a full length animated movie I never heard of or
seen. I LOVED The Great Mouse Detective. Fidget was soooooooo cute!!! ;)
That comes right after Lion King for fav Disney movies.

to the family, but he gets rabies & needs to be shot. *sniff* It's an
entire live-action movie. :)
