A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
Our Ticket agent has GREAT PRICES on tickets to Walt Disney
World and other Florida attractions!
"I thought I knew all the tips for saving money at WDW, even
being a member of the Magic Kingdom Club for over 15 years,
but just learning about [your ticket agent] saved our family
over $300!!! Thanks." Janet Handy, Bel Air, MD
"Plenty of roadside outfits in Orlando promise discounted
tickets, but most of them really want to rope you into a
time-share sales pitch in exchange for vouchers - accept at
your own risk. [Affordable Disney's ticket agent], though,
is legit." The New York Post, November 16, 2004.
FORGET paying too much for your Disney tickets! Keep that
extra money in YOUR pocket! Join our Disney family today.

News From Around The "World"
WALT DISNEY WORLD
"Born in the labs of Walt Disney Imagineering, Lucky the
Dinosaur is loose in the streets of Disney's Animal Kingdom!...
Lucky represents the latest innovation in Audio-Animatronics
design and is the first Disney character of its type to walk
freely and personally interact with children and families.
After a prototype test period in California, Lucky comes to
Walt Disney World Resort for a limited engagement to help
launch the "Happiest Celebration on Earth," a global salute
to 50 years of Disney park magic.
* Lucky the Dinosaur is 9 feet tall and weighs 450 lbs.
* Lucky is the first Disney Audio-Animatronics figure to
walk freely.
* Lucky can sniffle, burp, hiccup, sneeze, yawn, cough,
giggle, snort, purr and talk."

Essays on Walt Disney with Photos
In Walt Disney's Missouri...
"Marceline, in north central Missouri, is a town of
around twenty-five hundred people, its population today
about the same as it was when Elias Disney moved his family
there ninety-nine years ago... Marceline... still feels much
like the town that Walt Disney enjoyed as a boy, almost a
century ago. Were he to come back today, he would have no
trouble finding his way around." (Source:
michaelbarrier.com. 04/04/05) For the rest of the story,
click here.
"Walt Disney spent the better part of a dozen years in
Kansas City, living there most of the time from 1911 to
1923... The point of visiting places like the Disney sites
in Kansas City is to step back in time and connect with the
lives of people long dead. Although Kansas City as a whole
is prosperous and attractive, Walt Disney's old neighborhood
is so badly blighted - and so radically different from what
he knew - that making that imaginative leap back to 1922 is,
I'm afraid, very difficult." (Source: michaelbarrier.com.

DISNEYLAND HONG KONG
"Inside the Lin home and many others in China, there is a
distinct generational, cultural and economic divide - and it
figures to be a major challenge for Walt Disney Co. and
other Western companies trying to sell entertainment in the
world's fastest-growing emerging consumer market.
If Huanbin [their son] receives too much Western culture, in
the future he may not cherish family relations, forget his
ancestors and not go back to our hometown," Lin Zhengguang
says." (Source: latimes.com, 04/21/05) For the rest of the
story, click here.
--------------------------------
"The Disneyland theme park due to open in Hong Kong in
September will "suffer from constant haze" because of
worsening air pollution over Hong Kong and southern China,
according to a report released yesterday by CLSA, the
investment bank." (Source: ft.com, 04/20/05)

"Hi John! I don't know if you know about this or not, but

unread issues, or 2) they can get a subscription to a
"family" magazine instead."
