My microeconomics paper is due tomorrow (eep!) For the sake of accuracy, I need some help on facts that I'm using in the paper.

Which year did the Christmas "Believe!" begin?

What date did this year's Xmas Believe start?

What date did HMH open this year?

I have some recollection of the attendance figures for the year, but need something concrete enough for a chart. Does anybody have a source that gives me a fair sampling of average weekday and weekend numbers on a month to month basis? (I know that's asking a lot, but I need to fill in the gaps here, I don't think the prof will accept less than a monthly average).

Any help is appreciated here guys, I'm trying to discuss the ways Disney deals with its elasticity by shifting demand instead of lowering prices. So I have to show how the demand changes.

"Believe" officially started in '99. I worked there at the time they were testing it late at night, and got to see a 20-foot flame shooting out of the top of the castle (I think one of the cannons blew up). I would gladly help you on the other info, but I've momentarily misplaced my trivia cap here at work.:)

HMH started on October 4th this year.

Holiday Believe started on Nov. 8th, despite adverse weather.

Attendance figures are hard to come by, since Disney does not release these numbers to the public. Good luck!

Wow, what a wide range of answers I have come by!

The girl on the DLR line said (with no hesitation) that the holiday Believe! began last year. That did not seem correct according to my memory, so I searched the MP archives, and according to Al's update archives, determined that 11/3/00 was the official first date.

You belive it was 99? Can you give me a useable link (for my bibliography) that says 99 please?

(sigh), who knew going directly to the cource could give such wrong information. Last year? I mean REALLY!

Let's face it, the future DLR President needs to know this stuff. :)
