527.0. "Internet Trip Reports" by DONVAN::SCOPA () Thu Feb 27 1997 14:48

    Lately I've noticed some decent trip reports on the Internet. This
    topic has been created to list pointers to these trip reports.
    
    The first one I'd like to submit is at:
    
        http://www.primenet.com/~dbrady/oliande/wdw97.html
    
    I think everyone will like this trip report. There are lots of pics.
    
    Enjoy.

Here's an AMAZING report from September 1996:

These folks have dubbed their home page (http://www.bibiana.com/disney/)
"The Geek's Guide to Disney World. Made by Disney Freaks for Disney Geeks."  
Ya gotta love it. :-)

I found this via a link from the site of the woman whose trip report pointer
Mike posted in .0.

No photos, but links to some other information.

By the same author, a report on a shorter trip at the end of Jan. 1997:

This one does have photos.

How does she get to go twice within such a short period of time??
Sigh of envy... :-)

      Well it helps if your last name is "Badger".

    Deb lives close to WDW.  I believe Orlando.  So, if I were her, my life
    would be a continueos trip report.

Um, I don't think she lives that close to WDW - here's how her Dec. '96
trip report begins:

	After 12 months of planning, we were on our way to WDW on Thursday,
	December 5th! Six adults in their 40's and 50's were off for sunny
	Florida and the Beach Club! We flew United and wondered if anyone
	ever sees the parks from the airplane? We don't coming in from the
	north; but do those of you from other parts of the country see it?

And in her Jan. '97 report it says:

	We flew Delta Express from Washington-Dulles and rented a car from
	National. Delta-Express is very nice because it is inexpensive and
	the non-stop flights are practically every 2 hours.

Hence my envy that she could take two WDW trips within such a short period!
:-)

Ed, maybe she's moved, or maybe you're thinking of someone else?

527.6Communicating from EpcotKOOLIT::SCOPAFri Apr 11 1997 17:5915
    The people at Innoventions have been letting people use their AOL
    accounts to send e-mail from Epcot. If you have an AOL account just go 
    into Innoventions and send your message.
    
    I recently heard from a CM who works there and he mentioned how the
    crowds really build up in the early aftrnoon to send out e-mail.
    
    With this in mind you may want to plan accordingly if you want to send
    e-mail from Epcot....unless you plan to bring a laptop.
    
    Mike
    
    P.S. For Ed Badger...this CM said no official date has been mentioned
         for the return of our beloved castle. I would not bet on that
         1-Jan-1998 date.
527.7Coming Soon: Hotmail from WDWDONVAN::SCOPAWed May 07 1997 18:3516
    Last week Ed Badger mentioned hotmail to me. I checked it out and Ed is
    onto something. HOTMAIL is like JUNO...it's free but unlike JUNO it's
    got one feature that is quite appealing...it's web-based.
    
    That means that if you have acces to the internet you can hop onto your
    free HOTMAIL account and send/receive mail messages.
    
    Hopefully this will be one way of sending back info while in Orlando
    without the hassle of a laptop.
    
    For my trip whenever I have access to the internet I'll hop on and send
    any info that I think is appropriate for this conference.
    
    My hotmail address is mikescopa@hotmail.com.
