^Welcome...Glad to have you here!
Elissa "it's like my new family here" Alvey

That's more of a question to email Jim (head of Westcoaster)
Elissa "You're welcome here...at least for now !" Alvey

I think all those things are just kind of standard...don't worry about them..just put in what you want!
Elissa "low-maintenance" Alvey

We actually worked with the PR department at Dollywood! We had such a great time at their Press Event back in April of 2002 with Dolly Parton herself that we've been in contact with them ever since.
As for stupid policies...yup...I love it when parks tell you to put something in your pocket instead of holding it. My stuff is much safer in my hands than in a pocket!

I know you didn't ask me, but I have an idea as well because my brother is interested in this field. Believe it or not, being active in the online mod and gaming communities is a good start. It's kind of a way to build up a portfolio without ever working for a game company. Next up, try to get in as a "tester". You're starting out at the bottom, but sometimes that's what you have to do.
Also, you have to be more specific..what exactly would you like to do in the games business? There are roles in pretty much every normal aspect, as well as managing, building, scripting, programming, art, etc.
There are also several colleges that now also offer programs in Gaming. Fulsail comes to mind.
I'm sure Robb will help more later!
Elissa "married to a gamer!" Alvey

^Awww...Thanks for the offer but I don't think we're going to make it to PKI this year. I'll definitely have to keep your 6 year old in mind next year though to finally get on that Scooby Doo Bat Coaster thing at PKI!!! If you need any help planning trips you've come to the right place, they're not always as expensive as they look!
Elissa "make sure to post some pix of your girl!" Alvey

And for people like me it tells me to stay far, far away!
Hey Dave, remember country music Walt day at BGT a few years ago?!?!

Hey everybody!
This thread is simple! Rather than having a million little threads about everything that goes on at the Disneyland Paris Resort, including Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios Park, this thread is designed to consolidate it all into one user-friendly thread. Feel free to use it to post updates, trip reports, questions, comments, and of course, general discussion. For pictures and videos of these park as well as past updates, see TPR's Disneyland Paris Park Index Page and TPR's Walt Disney Studios Park Index Page.
Below are some links to past updates from the resort, you may be interested in. Enjoy!

I got an email today from Disneyland Paris with a link to some Information about Space Mountain Mission 2:
http://www.disneylandparis.com/uk/enews ... nteuro.htm
The funniest thing was this part:
QuoteCrew members on the maiden flight include Jean Reno, David Copperfield and Gérard Depardieu!Wow, that's one heck of a maiden flight! I wonder who they'll get when Mission 2 opens up April 9th!

Hey guys, never realized how big the forum would become! Because of this we've put in some new rules regarding member titles:
- You must have at least 150 'real' posts to request a new title!
- Once you request a title, if you want a new one before they have been changed edit your original post, do NOT post a new request.
Thanks!
