assistant: Thanks! I had a pair and lost them. <g>

Well..funny you should ask. As part of the merger, we were guaranteed no
changes will come about for 2 years, including health and other items.
We lost a great stock purchase plan with Cap Cities/ABC. We were able to
pick up Cap Cities stock at a 15% discount as well as pay no brokerage
fees. Disney has NO discount program neither a stock handler. They
passed it on to an outside firm, which is only scalping us. So, I've not
bought any more stock. Good thing...it's been on the down-swing anyway.
Disney issued to most of the employees here a Company "yellow card" with
our ssn#s on it. Supposedly good for 20% discounts at the stores. But I
haven't seen it yet! Seems I got lost in the shuffle along with a few
others. And that's a shame because my wife has gone over the edge with
buying lots of Disney paraphernalia and visiting Disneyworld almost every
year. We'll be there toward the end of September this year.
So..I'm stuck with the my company issued card which is only good for a
10% discount. Oh...well!
No...I expect to see some major changes taking place in a few more
months. The "Honeymoon" is almost over!!!
Thanks for the welcome.

-> Do you know of a good mail order place that offers Disney laser disk

Write your reply.

assistant: I don't know of any one good source for Disney laser discs. If you don't
buy them when they first come out you usually miss out on being able to
mail-order them.
I don't have a complete list. I personally have more than 1200 separate
Disney items in my video collection, including live park footage dating
from 1959-1996, animated movies, live action movies, TV Shows,
made-for-TV movies, the Walt-hosted TV shows, cartoon shorts and all
that stuff. Ever "complete" list I've seen is incomplete. The most
complete list I have seen is in "Disney A to Z" by Disney archivist Dave
Smith. Any real list that attempted to be close to being complete would
be way too long to post in here.
I really like this new dave Smith book. It is an encyclopedia of all
things Disney. I enjoy it very much and use it in making my video
listings have complete information. I have a collector friend, however,
who says it's full of errors. he has been corresponding with Dave Smith
for the last 12 years. He says he's written with a list of the rrors in
the book. I didn't catch any errors, but then again, I'm in this purely
for the fun.

o
it will be awhile before she can get into the mail here. I'm sure she will
when
things slow down.
   My wife and two daughters are the Disney experts in this family. You see,
my wife and I have only been married since Janurary. They lived in Oaji CA.
y
wife was raised in Ventura county CA. My wife and kids had season passes to
Disneyland but never been to Disney World yet... I had been to Disneyland
nly
once. It took me 34 years to get there but I did finally make it there.. :):)
We are planning to do two weeks at Disney World in 1998 if not sooner.
   Sandy has done some work for Disneyland and still has friends there. She
also has two friends (maybe more) friends that work at Disney World.
   Sandy is into Disney collectables big time! She has this poster kind of
thing from the Haunted Mansion that is hand signed by Marc Davis. Our
daughters
love anything Disney though the youngest is really into Little Mermaid. I'm
very new to Disney so my "Disney Education" is on going.. :) Right now I'm
really into Lion King. I think it's so cool you see something ya didn't see
before every time you watch a Disney movie.
   Well John, I have other messages to answer so I better get going for now..
So many nice people in this conference!!!!

   That really is the bottom line. I used to collect baseball cards and quit
