LOOKING FOR HOTEL INFO?
The ANAHEIM /ORANGE COUNTY VISITOR &
CONVENTION BUREAU also offers an extensive HOTEL
LISTING specific to the city that you may
want to check out for any ideas.
With the continuing parking problems at DL
you may seriously think about staying at one of several hotels near the
new pedestrian walkway on Harbor Blvd. and just walk in via the new easy
access tram / shuttle area.
LOOKING TO AVOID A
CONVENTION CROWD?
The ANAHEIM / ORANGE COUNTY
VISITOR & CONVENTION BUREAU maintains a CONVENTION
calendar web page where you can check to see how many attendees may also
be visiting the park at the same time as you do.
The animated film symbols
indicate there are short MPEG movie files offered on this site.
You may wish to download
the Windows media player to view them.
Rod
Miller plays at Coke Corner on Main St. in this MPEG file.

LOOKING FOR OTHER
DISNEYLAND SITES?
WERNER
WEISS, (who also maintains the magical YESTERLAND
site featuring closed attractions) also has a terrific links page that
lists many other park sites.
SYLVIA
OLIANDE also maintains a wonderful
Disneyland links page, with a nice appraisal of what she has found.
Both of them have done a superb job of
keeping track of one of the net's most popular subjects, Disneyland, and
presenting their web odysseys in well-organized pages.
LOOKING TO MEET OTHER
ONLINE FRIENDS AT THE PARK?
Usually more than a few readers of the
Disney newsgroup show up SUNDAYS at the park, for a NOON
meet, at the Goofy statue in the hub, across from the Walt and Mickey
bronze. Stop by and say hello.
DEAR DISNEYLAND
Mighty Alweg [a beyond
cool screen name if I EVER heard one] has kindly put up a new feedback
page for both the Walt Disney Company and its sponsors.
DEAR
DISNEYLAND will allow you to aim that
complaint [or compliment for that matter] to the right people with either
e-mail or regular postal address information offered.
Thank you for doing this Mighty
Alweg!
PACKING TIPS!
Visit the Travelite
site Lani Teshima maintains and save yourself lots of grief when
you pack! Think of all the extra room you'll have for everything you'll
want to buy at the park! Well worth a visit.
