Hi Debby,

I'm happy to see that you were finally able to make your first post here on our 8-21-04 San Juan Sojourners Cruise thread!!!

I had a feeling Penny would be able to help you.

In a few more days it will be August 1st, then we can sail we sail away THIS month!!!!!! Doesn't that sound good!!!!!!!



Sarah,

I know Walt's first idea for a character was a rabbit, not a mouse. When he decided on a mouse he first named him Mortimor(sp), but Walt's wife Lilly didn't care for that name and she is the one that suggested that Walt call the mouse MICKEY, and the rest they say is Disney history!!!

Good morning, all! So much to get caught up on.
Good luck, Brittany! I hope the weather clears for your game. Calling for storms again this afternoon.
Hi, Debby! Welcome aboard. Glad you will be joining us.
As for the trivia, I think Walt got the idea for a mouse on a train trip back home from NY, where he was told he had lost the rights to his first character, Oswald the rabbit.

Hi Debby.....Yeah, another Californian!!! I'll be traveling with my three girls (actually, my two, ages 13 and 6 months, and my 12 yo niece).

Andy.......We LOVE the shirts!!! Emilie's is absolutely adorable..... Can I get one for each day in a different color!?!?!?!? When the shirts arrived on Friday, Chelsea got the mail and came running in.... "We got something from the Walters, we got something from the Walters....our shirts are here!!!!" She knows your address label already, and is in awe or how you make all these cool things!!!

One question.......A while ago there was some discussion about hotels with beaches/pools in San Juan that allow day use. How do we find out about these, the rates, what they offer, etc. Some one had posted a link of San Juan activites, but I couldn't find the day use hotels.... I think this is what we're gonna want to do......relax by a BIG pool.....etc.... THANKS!!!!!

Welcome Debby!

Andy and Mike - You guys are up way to early and you beat me to the trivia questions.

Here's another one.

Walt made a cartoon that won an Academy Award (the first cartoon to ever win an Acadamy Award) What was the name of the cartoon?

 

[jweiss]

When Walt was a young boy (around 10, I think) he found a mouse in a field in the snow. He took it home and it became his pet. He even took it to school, to work. The idea of the mouse goes back to this, his first pet. Can't remember the rest, but we have it in a book at home.....Chelsea did a report on it for school last year.....

It's a curse, I get up every morning between 5 and 6. It's usually a lot closer to 5 than 6, and I don't even have to leave for work until 7:30. Speaking of work, my lunchtime is coming to a close and I have to get moving.

Our docs are on the UPS truck, and will be delivered this afternoon!!!

 

[Disney/Cheer Mom]

Andy,

My family and I would also like t-shirts in different colors. When can I put my order in?

 

[Maleficent59]

Where did Walt Disney conceive the idea of the mouse?

On a train bound for L.A. from New York

Walt made a cartoon that won an Academy Award (the first cartoon to ever win an Acadamy Award) What was the name of the cartoon?

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs won an honorary Academy Award in 1939 for significant screen innovation.

Okay, how much did Snow White cost to produce?

 

[Disney/Cheer Mom]

Here's a hint.
The cartoon that won an Academy Award was made in the early thirties.

Snow White cost approx. one million four hundred thousand.

How about Pinocchio, know how much that cost?

 

[Maleficent59]

Best Short Subject, Cartoons: 1932 Flowers and Trees

Snow White cost: $1.499M. The amazing thing is that this was during the Depression! Yowzas!

 

[Disney/Cheer Mom]

That is amazing. He used the profits to build a new studio in Burbank.

It's even more amazing that he even made a profit considering what it cost to see the movie.

Anyone know what it cost to see Snow White?

 

[Verandah Man]

Our docs just arrived and we have been upgraded from cabin 2118 to 7038!!! Hazel called me on my cell phone as soon as the docs arrived. Luckily, I was working in the area, so I stopped by the house, and found out about the upgrade!!!

My family and I would also like t-shirts in different colors. When can I put my order in?

Just send me an e-mail and I should still have time to make some more t-shirts for you. With the transfers I use, I can only put these on lighter pastel color t-shirts.

Gotta go back to work.

 

[Credit Man]

Congratulations on the upgrade, Andy. You deserve it!!!

 

[Disney/Cheer Mom]
