It is amazing to see the park under construction. It looks fairly small though, but there is a lot of sea dredging going on in the background for the second phase expansion. We (Della and I) are looking to go over there in March next year, but it will depend on the feedback of others who will be goi...

My earliest memories? Well, I can't go past watching Wonderful World of Disney on the television in the late 1970's with my sister. However, once I was in my teens, Disney dropped off the radar for me with the advent of home computers etc. What rekindled my interest? It all comes back to one Sunday ...

Thanks Greg, that's an excellent group you've put together. I've select Jiminy until I can come up with one of my own. Why did I pick Jiminy Cricket? Well, when I went to Disney's California Adventure last month, they had a program in the Animation attraction where you answer a bunch of questions an...

The original Disney Treasures was distributed in Australia through Dymocks book stores. In their Sydney store last year, they were selling them for $29.95! MUCH cheaper than in the US, and way cheaper than the second hand ones selling on Ebay! I think they must have bought a bulk lot of them, as the...

For any of you who bought the wonderful blue boxed collection titled "The Disney Treasures" that was released a couple of years ago, you may be interested to know that a second volume is on its way. This time titled "The Disney Keepsakes" - it comes in a red box, similarly styled to the original vol...

Hey James, I'm a fan - the only problem for me is that I'm not disciplined enough to wake up early every week... I saw some of the show this morning - the last half hour with the article on Disney on Ice + Lilo and Stitch. Welcome to the forum, we are trying to encourage as many postings as possible...

Astroblasters is heavily 3D oriented. You'll need a decent card to get it up and running smoothly. It looks pretty impressive and even has a fastpass system! To play online you need to join a queue so that you get a slot in-sync with the players in Disneyland, however so far, the queue line has been...

I used to be a Duck fan (definitely not a guru as Sydney club members will attest!) I used to collect DD comics when I was a kid - I had a bunch of them from around 1979-1983. Unfortunately, mum cleaned them out many years ago before the idea of collectible comics became fashionable! When computers ...

I got to see this last night myself and thought it was great. A fitting finale to the series. We had a few minor issues with the story, be these were more than made up for by the massive visual spectacal that this movie is. Those battle scenes were amazing. I really liked this movie and can't wait f...

"Remember When"

At the last Disneyana club meeting in Sydney, a number of people asked about the lyrics to "Remember When" - the official song of the 50th anniversary celebrations written by Richard Marx and performed by Leann Rimes. Well, here they are... "Remember When" Do you remember your imagination? When Neve...

I'd just let my house burn to the ground! It is full of 'junk' that I cannot throw out, but if it was forced on me, I'd probably wouldn't miss it... Though I'd have to save the Disney DVD collection...and all the stuff I bought in Disneyland...and...oh - I hope my house doesn't burn down :) KeithS p...

Hello Greg, you got further than I did... When registering, it would only allow me to put in an address of United States, Canada or Mexico... So I skipped that part (and it seemed to be going okay) then I got a registration error message which looked like a server problem at their end. I'll try agai...
