Yoo Hoo... Carol!
RK> I understand the best days to go are Wednesdays.  Even _weekdays_ are

It seems lately, even Wednesday could be a stretch! I'm hoping DL will change
their mind and keep MSEP as a permanent fixture -- after 20 years, it just
won't feel like DL without that signature parade! Maybe they can get out of 
t
gracefully by saying we all dreamed MSEP would be closed and sent on to other
parks -- do you think we could buy into the mass dream scenario?
As to parking ... all I can say is... And they want to use the parking lot to
build Westcot, etc? True, they are going to build a huge parking structure
down the street, but like most of Southern California, it is never enough 
our
freeways and parking lots are never enough ... sad, but true).
OK... here is my solution -- do a fusion of the old Monsanto adventure
(Journey Through Innerspace) and the City of Tomorrow from the COP ... So, 
ou
shrink everybody and everything down, then you have this model-sized, fully
working DL & Westcot for all the little people to visit. When they finish
their vacations, they are returned to "normal size" ... What a GREAT concept!
Do you think Disney could pull this off? It would also give new meaning to a
spin on "It's a Small World"...  ;-)
RK> He's fine, but seems to have a problem called "hyperreflexia" (too much
RK> reflexes) in his legs, and a C. T. scan showed a bit too much fluid in

I'm sorry Meecelet has a problem -- I hope it is a minor ailment that he can
outgrow or at least be easily treated for. NINE months? Gosh... it seems like
just yesterday that Rich was handing out Mickey ears as a proud, new papa!
Nice chatting with you again ...
