True but they were unable to inter all of him. His imagination had already been firmly installed in DL and WDW. And to some extent, all of us. So as long as we all do our part, a piece of Walt will always survive! :D:

No, the real reason is that they are re-doing the figures, and they will all be Disney characters!!! in 3-D, and they will move around!!
and Walt will be there!!

*ALL* of the stories that CMs tell are true; for varying definitions of "true".
Sort of the way 2 plus 2 can equal 5, for especially large values of 2.
I actually used to teach that one as part of a lecture on measurement and tolerances. Former students seem to remember it, as they call out "five" at me when we pass on campus. Gets some strange looks from bystanders, but it sure beats the word called out by the ones who flunked.

We had a guy on our show that had NEVER been to Disneyland. EVER. He had lived here all of his life and just didn't see the point.
I was raised on Disney, man. I can't imagine that.
:shudders:
Well at least, if he does go, he won't be pissed off at the changes in Pirates, Mansion, TSI and etc.
But maybe that's just me and my issues.

BTW nice MEEZ!!

OR
next trip to San Diego, hitch a ride!!
ITs actually an easy drive up!!
I'm sure it is an easy drive, but they don't often go to San Diego. Actually this was the first time, since it was for that convention and mom's job hadn't sent her to one since the one when I was 18 and they sent her to Florida. Also they flew... so hit hitching a ride, still costs a pretty penny. We live in Saratoga County, New York.
I cant' really shame them into sending me... they didn't send my brother, he just had a GF with Rick Parents, and then road tripped down the second time on spring break and got some kinda discount from a CP CM friend on Hotel and she got them in the park for free a few days, so they only paid days they went without her. (One of those days they got the Dream Fast Passes, and the other day they went without her, they got back doored into her meet and greet (she was a friend of a character, I won't say which cause I don't want to get anyone in trouble.))
But I AM having my trip just a couple weeks after my birthday. So I'm asking for Disney Dollars/Travel cash instead of gifts, to help fund my expenses on the trip (food, souveneers etc.).
Thanks for the info on IASM. I'll let mum know what was up with that.

Ha! sounds like the graduate course in computer crime I taught. I start by telling them that it is really simple, in computers it is either a "0" or a "1", the trick is to figure out how they are put together!!
(some knew binary, some didn't)

I've been to it. The Forest Lawn where Walt is "supposed " to be. He has a nice little garden area. Jack and I took pictures with his plaque and we are getting married in one of the churches there this October. It's in Glendale.
If I can find the pic, I'll post it.
The thing is that you can't really see his plaque unless you go into the gated area and look on the wall BEHIND the statue. But you'll have to go and see for yourselves.
