Hi - here's some news from Lyn, the con chair for the 2002 convention

Debbie

From Lyn:

It is time to pamper yourself and plan to enjoy those

extra days by choosing a tour you would like to attend

after the convention. Come and "Stay A Little Longer"

while you enjoy the Florida sunshine. There is

something for everyone from a Disney theme park to a

Disney Waterpark and there is also a tour offered for

people that just want to "shop till they drop!" So look

them over and decide what fun you want to indulge

yourself after you have enjoyed this years Beauty and

the Beast Convention.

MONDAY, JULY 15, 2002

MGM DISNEY STUDIOS --- is a delight for all ages which

includes many attractions with something to offer for

everyone. At Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 3-D show,

Kermit, Miss Piggy and friends take you on a wacky 3-D

tour of Muppet Labs, Audio Animatronics characters and

exciting 3-D effects make this show a must-see! 'The

Force is with You' as you cruise in your Starspeeder

flight simulator during this ultimate Star Wars thrill

ride! This park also offers many liver performance

shows such as The Hunchback of Nortre Dame - A Musical

Adventure, The Voyage of The Little Mermaid, and of

course I'm sure one that will be your favorite, Beauty

and the Beast. Even though he isn't our "Vincent", it

still is a wonderful musical show to see. And if you

are interested in getting a good scare just take a ride

on Disney's Rock 'n Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith.

It's a rockin' road trip through Hollywood with

unexpected twists, turns and loops. If that isn't

enough to scare the stuffing out of you, try taking a

ride on a runaway elevator which drops you 13 stories

into the depths of "The Twilight Zone" again and again

and again. for those that prefer a more slow pace

atmosphere, enjoy The Great Movie Ride in which you are

entertained by traveling right through the middle of

your favorite scenes from classic motion picture

Hollywood. To top of your day within the park, visit

the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater and venture

into "Fantasmic" with the imagination of Sorcerer Mickey

as he and his friends confront notorious Disney villians

in this action-packed battle of good versus evil in this

spectacular show of lasers, lights, dancing water

fountains and dazzling special effects. It's an

incredible nighttime spectacular! Prior to the

Fantasmic show, I will have made reservations for our

group to eat at either Melrose's Ristorante Italiano

which serves brick-oven pizza, pasta, chicken or steak;

or at The Hollywood & Vine which feature a dinner

buffet, including a fresh selection from their premier

show kitchen. The price of this tour including

transportation, park and dinner is $70.00.

TUESDAY, JULY 16, 2002 DAY TOUR

DOWNTOWN DISNEY -- is a fantastic shopping complex where

you can spend a day shopping and exploring until your

hearts content. Again, there is something for

everyone. The stores include a large variety of items

from children's clothes and toys to adult clothing and

many items for your home or hobby. There are many shops

such as Pooh Corner where they have Pooh clothes, toys

and more for the whole family. Disney "At Home" sells

TUESDAY, JULY 16, 2002 DAY TOUR

TYPHOON LAGOON -- Come and enjoy the Florida Sunshine at

one of the most popular waterparks in Florida; tropical

foliage and soft white sand surround this beautiful

park. Just as they done many times before within their

theme parks, Disney has created a park which is truly a

delight for all. They outdid themselves when they

created this park by giving you so many ways to

entertain yourself that when you begin your day you

won't know which activity to do first. There is a

gigantic wave pool that is fun for everyone. You can

sit on the low benches near the sand area and enjoy the

waves slowly wash over you or if you prefer a more

invigorating experience, step further toward the

approaching waves and feel one with the wave as you are

washed back to the shore. There is also an area made

with youngsters in mind where parents may sit and enjoy

watching their children have the time of their lives

going down the water slides and splashing around in

their specailly desinged playland. If you prefer a more

sedate time, why not enjoy yourself on the lazy river

ride. The sun will warm your face while the scent of

flowers tickles your nose as you slowly float around the

waterpark relaxing on a water tube without a care in the

world. If you prefer flume rides this park also has

many to choose from including a family raft ride. There

is also a new area built for the dis to play without

being in the pool. The park has many activities for the

young as well as the older child. Come and enjoy the

Magic as only Disney can offer. The price of this tour

is $45. The bus will depart at 9:00 am. and return at

3:00 p.m. which will give you plenty of of time to

freshen up before the Tuseday night time tour to

Medieval Times Dinner show.

TUESDAY NIGHT TOUR

MEDIEVAL TIMES DINNER SHOW -- Plan to be caried back in

time when valiant knights battled to become the personal

champion to the King. Enjoy the wonders of the castle
