[Facts] Re: Wondering about a name....
in reply to a message by Gia Nadine
Avalyn is cute! And it reminds me a little of "Avalon"--very nice. One of my cousins has daughters named Avalie and Coralie--the rhyming thing bugs me(and no, they aren't twins) but I do think Avalie is kind of pretty as well.
Nanaea , is Chernabog the big demon-y type from the "Night On Bald Mountain" sequence? I had no idea he had a name. I read your post and decided to watch "Fantasia" again this morning (beats the heck out of Veggie Tales for the millionth time!), but we're stuck on the ballet-dancing hippos part--my daughter keeps crawling to the screen and kissing them;).

Chernabog roolz!
Yep -- that's Chernabog! I loooooove Chernabog!
You want to know something? I have been to Disney World four times now, and I have yet to see a Chernabog character walkin' around there. There is NOWHERE in that place where you can get you can hugged by Chernabog and have your picture taken with him! It makes for a *very* disappointing Disney World experience. :-(

He's around. He just goes by the name "Michael Eisner"!
For some weird reason best known to my wife and daughter, we're vacationing at Disney World, etc., the week after July 4th. For the same money as our "all-inclusive package", I could have left the kid at home and gotten two cheapo plane tix to cool, dampish northern Britain, but NOOO... (Compared to Orlando , Blackpool kicks ASS!)
After a coupla days at the Magic Reich in 95 degree weather, with unmoving lines and obscene snack prices, I'll be happy to pose for pictures as Chernabog! Or maybe Koshchei the Deathless. Or Captain Pissy...
Hehe. Come to Daddy...

Hahahahaha! Did you know this...?
Michael Eisner is actually an anamatronic Disney robot. It's true! Here's the proof: Not only is he a "Mickey ", but change the first and last letters of his name to a "D" and a "y" and... Ooooo... spooky! :)
You're going to Dizzy World? Cool! My favorite hangouts are The World Showcase and the new Animal Kingdom Park. Hate the Magic Kingdom -- it's gag-a-ricious. But the other stuff is goofy fun. :)
Sorry you got outvoted over going to England. Eh, knock back a pint or two at the Rose and Crown Pub in The World Showcase. It may not be quite the same, but all the Brit visitors to Dizzy World tend to congregate there after dark.

I live just a couple of hours from Disneyland and have been there more times than I care to admit:), and no Chernabog there, either. Although I do remember a few years ago, there was some kind of re-release of "Fantasia" on video, and all of the shops there had posters, either of Mickey as the Sorcerer's Apprentice, or of the Night On Bald Mountain scene with Chernabog's pretty face looming over everything. I was even a little surprised to see that there, really--the most "evil" Disney character I've seen walking around there was Cruella DeVil.
Shame on Disney, depriving us all of those warm fuzzy Chernabog hugs;).

I couldn't agree with you more - you know, one can only ask oneself, "what is the world coming to, these days?" when people like Cruella Deville and other creatures are so horrible that even I cannot bear to look at them. It's a sad sight for Chernabog, that's for sure.
But don't worry... one day, we'll all be able to see Chernabog aka Cosmo, walking around and giving every one hugs! And people like Cruella Deville will be a thing of the past!

No Chernabog in Disneyland, either? Not fair! :-(
How is Avalie pronouced? Ava-lie ???
She pronounces it A-vuh-lee, with a long "a" sound, but she got the idea from someone else, who suggested pronouncing it "AH-vuh-lee". Both nice, but I think I like the first one more.

Thanks! :)
