If I have to listen to "It's a Small World" for any length of time I'll be puking all over the place!Heck it is good for the little ones, and I kind of liked it at the NY World's Fair in 1964, where it premiered. I was thinking more of things like the GE Carousel of Progress, which also started there, and the Land and Energy pavillions at Epcot. Interesting to see the hydroponic plants, and the Dinosaurs. Also, for you Nordic types, there is the Norway pavillion, where you go on a boat ride through Nordic history and modern society.

Oh good. 2004? I should be able to get my life together by then!

Anyone know a really good reason I should go to Philadelphia?Well there is Independence Hall. Also W. C. Fields tombstone says 'All things considered, I would rather be in Philadelphia'.

Or December 18 2003... Some of us are willing to meet up for the premier night. We are still batting it about, as you can see. We have a lot of hobbits in Florida... never would have guessed that!

Nova Scotia is not a good choice in the winter!It is if you like winter!

Space Mountain is just about the only roller coaster type ride I'll get on.It's too much for me, I prefer the Thunder Mountain Railroad, right near the 'Song of the South' boat ride. Zipedee doodah, Zipedee-ehhhheeeeeeeeee!

Hmm. Top three. Taking into consideration where Freepers live: DC area, Florida, and somewhere in Ohio. Niagara Falls would be fun but I guess not really feasible.

Any "mini moots" planned for the TT premiere?
To: NewCenturions
I just like hearing the name "Orlando"!How does 'Kissimmee' turn you on? That is the town right by the Entrance.
To: JenB
So you'll vote to hold Entmoot somewhere els? OT can go to SeaWorld, and hang out with Shamoo! Or go to Cypress Gardens, and smell the roses.

Somehow the two names just go together!
To: HairOfTheDog
Enmoot will be December 2003 for the RoTK Premier, or January 2004 if we put it off till after Christmas.Well Florida is jammed at Christmas time, lines at attractions run into hours sometimes, reservations are hard to get, and everything is more expensive. If you avoid Christmas and New Year's week, the crowds vanish in December and January both. Perhaps we could go there, and see the movie right at the end of Entmoot, before the crowds show up at the attractions!

Zipedee doodah, Zipedee-ehhhheeeeeeeeee! Groannnn...all I want to see is Donald Duck blasting some chipmunks!
To: NewCenturions
I must admit, I've never been there... I was in Coeur d'Alene in 1987 for a conference. Of course I was the hired help, so I actually stayed in the Super 8.
But the penthouse suite is incredible. Glass windows with views on at least three sides. A hot tub that actually extends off the side of the building (like 20 stories up), and a swimming pool on the second story of the suite with a glass bottom...

GE Carousel of Progress... Now is the best time, now is the best time...
To: NewCenturions
Hmmm..... no - Not yet! Penny and I will probably get together at the Cinerama, if I do anything special... We might be able to drag "Scott from the Left Coast", who lives here in my home town, along for that. The folk who live near each other, like the Florida folk, should get together! Where are you again?

Hehehe....I'm at the scene where Arwen is racing the Black Riders. I keep expecting them to hand her a LOTR DVD.
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
I rode "Thunder Mountain Railroad" at Disney Land. I don't think I've done "Song of the South."
To: Overtaxed
I keep expecting them to hand her a LOTR DVD. Maybe she should show them her Capitol One Master Card...
To: HairOfTheDog
I'm near Nashville. I have relatives in Seattle but they might be suspicious if I "happen" to visit them at premiere time! (especially since I haven't seen them in 10 years)
