Not bad I suppose. Of course being out of the country on work assignment has made it hard to keep up on the hockey seasons. So this is all news to me. I watched a few games while back in the states for the holidays. And found a local bar with satellite which shows games from time to time. I...

I am not sure if it is still there, but in EPCOT, there was education liason center. If I recall correctly, they had many of the Disney educational videos for sale. If it still exists, perhaps you can get the video you want. Good luck.

I am bummed to hear about the Star Wars vehicles going to pot. I am also a fan of Blade Runner and am saddened to see those cars wasting away with each passing visit.

How strange! I just read an interesting article in the paper this morning. It talked about how the training instituted after the last accident has been cut back quietly. And now here is another accident with a parade baloon. It will be interesting to see what happens. I hear the injured...

A co-worker's sister in law took her car when she did CP. She said she was glad that she did. So consider this another vote to take the car if you can.

D'oh! You had to go and mention some of my favorite progams. Now I am feeling homesick. Not to mention the Hockey withdrawl as well. I can only hope that one of the satelite systems here in Mexico runs Hockey. At least I have my replica Leafs and Bruins jerseys. Some might say I am a...

I am having so much fun as a gringo living and working in Saltillo, Mexico I can hardly stand it!!! :lol: Actually it has been pretty cool here. Monterrey is about an hour away and there is a lot of fun to be had there.

That is exactly what happened to a dear friend at the Floridian Cafe. Someone handed her a soup and told her to take it to the book keeper. Next thing she knows is she is fired for stealing food. She took her own food to eat every day. I had visited her house and she was always stocked, so I...

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a CM friend who was there when Princess Diana visited with her children. It seems that the princess felt that they should wait in line like everying else. However someone (Disney?) believed that bypassing lines was in the best interest of security...

While I have never visited Japan myself, I have some co-workers that have. None of them speak any Japanese. Yet there were plenty of natives who spoke enough english to help them get around. I would hazzard a guess that the same would be true for your parents at Tokyo Disney. I am very...

Good gosh no!!! I realized that maybe I should try to clarify what I meant based on the replies written. And also to make sure that no one thinks I am down on all the people here. I enjoy reading different posts, and the like. Those times when people have responded have always been positive...

Thrawn, that is not exactly true. The Rocketeer came from a series of comic books. So there is more to the property. However, they are not widely known/available which again makes the property limited. I am not sure how many issues were made or if the total run only tells the same story of...

Like I said, this was just an observation of mine. No attack on anyone was intended. As I pointed out as well, others have felt the same way and mentioned it in past postings. As far as cliques or groups, they are not only online, but in school, work, or anywhere. That is how life goes. I...

Pretty much all of your questions have been answered. But I have to add my 2 cents about the lack of replies to your posts. My observation is that these boards are very cliquish. If you are not part of it, very rarely will you get a reply to something you post. I have experienced this first...

No, but for whatever reason they had two vehicles from Bladerunner in the backlot tour. They have appeared to have rotted away over the years. I for one am sadened because Bladerunner happens to be one of my favorite movies.

I visited there in 2003. I was not impressed. I thought it was wreck compaired to Ceader Point, let alone any Disney comparison. It is probably better that it gets closed.

I agree in part. I would say the original cast along with the cast up to the mid to late 80's (i.e. Billy Crystal, Martin Short, Jim Belushi, etc.) were the best as a whole. After those guys, I could never get fully into it. There were the occasional skits that were funny, but to me it seems...

As stated before, there is no surefire way. I am an electrical engineer with a background in software. I happened to start a dsicussion with a manager in Imagineering while at a FIRST robotics event. He was enthused to meet me as he stated they had a great need for software engineers. In...

You should visit Saltillo sometime! :lol: :animwink:

That is exactly the problem. Not only with Disney, but with other companies as well. Shareholders want a return on the profit NOW! Long lost is the idea of buying stock in a company because you believe in it and expect it to grow and perform over time. We have become a society of instant...
