Think School – Think Helping A Student

For many years, the Land of Mickey has enjoyed a reputation of being very generous with those in need.

We thought that, as we move into the fall season, we remember those who can use a little help getting their kids ready for school. So we’re asking you to please bring school supplies (to the picnic) that we can donate.

Pens & Pencils…..Paper…..binders….. crayons…..rulers…..you get the idea.

Also, some of these kids need help getting a good meal, so we are looking for canned goods for an area food pantry.

Canned soup, vegetables, fruit, etc. 

No anchovies!! I will personally come to your house and TP it if you do.

 Any questions? Email Steve or Debby at sjacobs192@comcast.net

In many ways, "Tangled" is a return ----

---- to the 1990s for Walt Disney Animation Studios. In that this film is a feature-length fairy tale that features a score by Academy Award-winner Alan Menken as well as animation supervised by the great Glen Keane (i.e. the industry legend behind Ariel in "The Little Mermaid," the Beast in "Beauty and the Beast" as well as the title character in "Aladdin"). While at the same time, this new cinematic version of Rapunzel couldn't be more different from all the Disney fairy tales that preceded it. Given that "Tangled" is being done in CG and Disney Digital 3D. And did I mention that the decade during which this animated feature was in development was a time of extreme upheaval at The Walt Disney Company? MORE….

Via Napoli, the new restaurant in Epcot's Italy ----

---- will begin taking reservations August 6 for September 10, the official opening day. A "Grand Opening" celebration will be August 5, but the restaurant will be in a "soft opening" walk-in phase with no reservations between then and September 10. This table-service restaurant  features indoor and outdoor seating and the Disney Dining Plan will be accepted.

Adventures by Disney announced two brand-new ----

---- itineraries for 2011 that will give travelers a chance to visit one of the most dreamed-of destinations in the world -- Egypt. They will offer two Egyptian itineraries:

 One itinerary is a weeklong program featuring a journey into the heart of Cairo that includes a private guided tour of the mummies and ancient artifacts in the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, an up-close view of the Great Pyramids, and a visit to the tombs of Ramses VI and King Tut. A three-day Nile River cruise follows on a beautiful ship that sails from Aswan to Luxor.

The alternate itinerary includes all the same elements, plus an additional two days on the Red Sea in the resort town of Sharm El Sheikh. Sharm is famous for its underwater national park full of coral reefs and arrays of colorful tropical fish, a veritable snorkeling paradise for first-time and veteran snorkelers alike. MORE….
