but
I can get it from my wife. Don was a DJ at Q105 in Oxnard. Don also ran a
very very small company called Rainbow Ridge or something like that. This Don
is my wife's EX. Anyway, when my wife was with Don they made some videos for
Disney and published some kind of news letters or something like that about
Disney. I'll get more info about this guy and his internet address and send
t
off to ya. It could be of some help to ya in adding to your collection.....

restaurants, resorts, etc. along with a monologue providing history and
behind the scenes information.  Of course, they would have to update it
frequently for all the many changes they're putting in, but I'll take
whatever is current.  Thanks!

Well, I wanna give you DETAILS, but I need more time to write!
Here's a short bit about our Disney trip... You are right about the
parents + WDW = Special Memories, Joe.  This trip really brought us
together as a family more than anything else since Michael was born
on January 2nd of this year.  It was wonderful and we wish there were
Disney Characters who could come over and play while we eat all the time!

assistant: As you said Disney.Com is the best place to start.
  However let me give you a piece of advice. Don't use the phones
  anywhere in the parks unless you have a lot of money or a calling
  card. I almost got stuck at the main gate at WDW and had to ask a
  Disney cast member named Clyde to call someone to pick me up.
  To call long distance is $1.50 for 3 minutes and I used my first
  quarter to get the dial tone working. I was dropped off in the
  afternoon, got my annual pass and was given many for food and
  four quarters to call back home. (I live in Kissimmee now)
