Sorry for the caps...I typed this on my laptop while in disney, and my CAPS lock key was stuck, and retyping it is out of the question...

Here are some confirmed informationals...
MY PAL MICKEY IS FOR SALE AS OF 4/22/03.
THEY ARE STILL IN BETA TESTING STAGE, BUT THE FINAL PRODUCT IS WORKING.
I PURCHASED ONE, AND IT DOES SEEM TO WORK WELL.
RUMORS HAVE IT THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CREATE A WHOLE LINE OF CHARACTERS.
SPACESHIP EARTH IS NOT SCHEDULED FOR ITS FULL RENOVATION UNTIL 2005.
I SAW NOTHING MAJOR CHANGED IN THE RIDE.
MISSION SPACE IS STILL NOT OPEN.
RUMOR HAS IT THAT THEY PLAN ON DOING A SOFT OPENNING WITHIN NEXT 2 MONTHS.
SEVERAL RIDES CLOSED@ 2HOURS EARLY DUE TO LACK OF VISITORS.
DURING EASTER WEEK UNIV. OF ENERGY, AND THE ONE NEXT TO IT WERE CLOSED AT 7PM, AND THE PARK CLOSED AT 9PM.
VEHICLES ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO GET BY THE FORT WILDERNESS MAIN BUILDING. THEY HAVE TO PARK IN THE FAR LOT, AND WALK IN. THE ONLY CARS THAT GET BY THE MAIN BUILDING ARE PEOPLE CHECKING IN.
SHADES OF GREEN IS STILL BEING WORKED ON. RUMOR SAYS THAT THEY ARE STILL MONTHS OFF OF COMPLETION.
THERE WAS NO EASTER PARADE IN WDW THIS YEAR. THEY USUALLY HAVE A SMALL ONE FOR THE VISITORS AT LEAST. I KNOW THAT THEY CUT OFF THE TELEVISED PARADE A YEAR, OR SO AGO.
AFTER SPEAKING WITH A CAST MEMBER I WAS INFORMED CONFIDENTIALLY THAT THE LACK OF VISITORS IS A COMBINATION OF FEAR OF FLYING SINCE 9/11, AND ALSO THE HIGH PRICES THAT DISNEY IS CHARGING FOR ADMISSION.
I PERSONALLY CHECK THE PRICING, AND UNIVERSAL IS @ $10-$15 CHEAPER.
THE NEW MOUNTAIN RANGE RIDE IS CONFIRMED AT THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. FROM RUMORS I GOT, THE LAND IS ALREADY BEING WORKED ON.
---
I did as much as I could while there, but my wife was hospitalized in Celebration Hospital for most of our trip. I had to keep the 3 year old busy so I got a little done.
More information coming soon....

One question, how much was Pal Mickey?
