I've taped the coverage on 2 channels (2 VCRs are coming in handy) for DH. I've been stunned by the apparent lack of interest here on DIS.

Truly a remarkable feat.

Ride the space plane to MoonDisney - Disney's newest vacation destination! Stay at the Grand Lunar Resort!

Hmmm... It's a small solar system instead of It's a Small World!
