The e-mail address is brand-new and they are proud and ecstatic about
it because it is a big step for them.  They've given me permission to
spread the word about it.  They've already spread word within the

assistant: HELLO ALL!!!
I AM SO EXCITED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT LOVE DISNEY ALSO!!!
I AM A VERY BIG FAN OF THE WHOLE PLACE BUT MY ALL TIME FAVORITE DISNEY
ITEM IS WINNIE THE POOH, HE'S THE GREATEST.  IF ANYONE HAS ANY PICTURES
OR NEWS ABOUT HIM PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO WDW IN APRIL OF 1995, AND HAD A BLAST, I THINK
THAT I COULD LIVE THERE, MY FAVORITE RIDE THAT WAS THERE WAS SPLASH
MOUNTAIN.  I LOVE THE WATER PARKS, ESPECIALLY TYPHOON LAGOON, YOU CAN
SWIM WITH TROPICAL FISH AND SHARKS, IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE, TO DO
THIS, GO FOR IT, IT'S AN EXPERIENCE TO NEVER FORGET.
I HEARD RUMOR THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON A NEW THEME PARK TO OPEN IN 1998,
IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE BUSCH GARDENS WITH THE WILD ANIMALS, HAS ANYONE
ELSE HEARD ABOUT THAT?
IN ONE MESSAGE THAT I READ SOMEONE WASN'T SURE IF THE AREA WITH ALL THE
STORES IS CALLED DISNEY MARKETPLACE OR THE VILLAGE MARKETPLACE? I
BELIEVE IT'S CALLED THE DISNEY VILLAGE MARKETPLACE.  THAT PLACE IS VERY
NICE, GOOD RESTAURANT NEAR THERE, ON PLEASURE ISLAND, CALLED THE
FIREWORKS FACTORY.  ANYONE EVERY TRY IT?
DID ANYONE GO TO THE PLANET HOLLYWOOD IN THE DISNEY VILLAGE MARKETPLACE?
I DIDN'T CARE FOR IT, BUT AT LEAST I CAN SAY THAT I WAS THERE.  ON OUR
TRIP IN 1995, WE ALSO WENT TO UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, IT WAS OK, BUT IT
DEFINETLY WAS NO DISNEY WORLD, NO ONE CAN DO IT LIKE DISNEY!!!!!!!
HOPE TO HEAR FROM ALL YOU DISNEY FANS!!!!

assistant: I agree that MGM is definetly a great place in WDW, I like the Great
Movie Ride, and we really enjoyed TZTOT also, the first time on was at
night, were you couldn't see a thing, scared the living daylights out
of me and my husband, but we went back for more.  Didn't help that we
were burnt to crisps, because we went to Blizzard Beach early in the
day, you really didn't miss much in my opinion at Blizzard Beach, nice
place, but Typhoon Lagoon is much better, did you swim with the sharks
at Typhoon Lagoon, that was neat. I like the Honey I Shrunk the
Audience, also, the special effects were very good.  Splash Mountain is
definetly the coolest ride in the Magic Kingdom, it doesn't seem as long
as it is but just looking at the outside, very impressed with that ride,
4 thumbs up.  Alien Encounter, you say you didn't like, when we were
there the were still building it, so didn't get to see it, but others
have said it's good and bad, maybe one day I will see it.
In my opinion, WALT DISNEY WORLD IS THE GREATEST PLACE ON EARTH.

assistant: Hello Luis,
I am a very big Disney fan myself, I live in Michigan USA, actually in
Bay City, Michigan in the USA.  I have been to Walt Disney World in
Florida.  It's definetly the GREATEST place on earth to me.  I have been
there about 12 times in my lifetime so far, and many more to follow with
my children.  I am a 28 year old wife, no kids yet, but that will be the
first big vacation spot for us when we do.  I can't think of a better
place for a family vacation than DISNEY.
How is Disney in Paris doing?  It's that Euro-Disney?  If so, I thought
that I heard it was doing horrible, and was going to stay around for
much longer.  Sorry if that's true, but then you could come to the
United States to Walt Disney World, they have 3 theme parks there, they
are Magic Kingdom, MGM Studios, and Epcot.  Plus there are 2 water parks
and tons of shopping stores with Disney items.
The last time we were there, we were waiting for a parade and there were
some people from England sitting next to us, we talk to them for awhile
and they said, our food was horrible, but the atmosphere at Disney was
wonderful.
Hope to talk at you again soon

The same characters (and actors) were in this movie, and supposedly, its
bout
Arles' adventures with  Old Yeller's pup.  The only error I saw in the movie
was that the pup looked like Old Yeller at the end of the first movie, and
Savage Sam was a white and brown spotted dog.  Guess you can't have
everything!
I'm also looking for a VHS cassette of "Follow Me Boys" that is the orginial
version, not editted for TV.
