Has anyone noticed that not very much promotional merchandise of her is sold in the parks? Look around not much merchandise about her anywhere. Yet yesterday Disney premiered a Musical that has her as a title charcter. Yes you guessed it JASMINE What is up with this? How hard could it be to include her in the calvacade and character meet. I could understand Ariel (another true princess) not being part of it since she already has her own character meet area and i sort of understand why maybe Pocahontas might not be included (another real princess) since many don't even consider her a princess although i think she deserves to be credited as one and then given an American Indian princess costume to show off. but does anyone have any answers?

Heh, now I understand why they've bought all of those defibrillators for the park.

They were all huddled together in a little puddle by the track :-( I'm happy to say that the Matterhorn looks great and all of the ugly orange spray paint is gone! Most of the exterior work is done, they're working on the queue area, and worklights are on 'round the clock inside. Hopefully that means they're getting serious about the 2/13 opening date!

I gained over christmas time there before I go back again, cause I've already made a list to remind myself of all those yummy new things to try next visit!! guess I'm not going to lose the lbs. if I keep drinking holiday mochas and eating fudge! I only do it when there's a new update to look at though! so just don't do one more than once a month! I had no idea the river was so shallow!! just amazing!
