The Mountain Club is located amongst a dense forest of oak and pine trees. The weather was very pleasant and refreshing. The resort rooms were well furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and the staff was cooperative and very friendly. Though we reached past midnight, the waiter was waiting for us with hot food that we had ordered on the way. The resort has a swimming pool, table tennis, cricket, carom and badminton. The menu offered excellent Kumaon food. The best part of the resort was the tree house; we enjoyed watching RESTFUL RAICHAK Recently I went on the birds and the peaceful, a family vacation to Raichak, to the Ffort serene environment.

  • THE CAMP of the SAINTS by Jean Raspail
    THE CAMP OF THE SAINTS By Jean Raspail And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison, and will go forth and deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, and will gather them together for the battle; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up over the breadth of the earth and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. —APOCALYPSE 20 My spirit turns more and more toward the West, toward the old heritage. There are, perhaps, some treasures to retrieve among its ruins … I don’t know. —LAWRENCE DURRELL As seen from the outside, the massive upheaval in Western society is approaching the limit beyond which it will become “meta-stable” and must collapse. —SOLZHENITSYN Translated by Norman Shapiro I HAD WANTED TO WRITE a lengthy preface to explain my position and show that this is no wild-eyed dream; that even if the specific action, symbolic as it is, may seem farfetched, the fact remains that we are inevitably heading for something of the sort. We need only glance at the awesome population figures predicted for the year 2000, i.e., twenty-eight years from now: seven billion people, only nine hundred million of whom will be white. But what good would it do? I should at least point out, though, that many of the texts I have put into my characters’ mouths or pens—editorials, speeches, pastoral letters, laws, news Originally published in French as Le Camp Des Saints, 1973 stories, statements of every description—are, in fact, authentic.

All rights reserved. WeLcOmE HoMe Leaving a Disney Store stock room with a Buzz Lightyear doll in 1995 was like jumping into a shark tank with a wounded seal.* The underestimated success of a computer-animated film from an upstart studio had turned plastic space rangers into the hottest commodities since kids were born in a cabbage patch, and Disney Store Cast Members found themselves on the front line of a conflict between scarce supply and overwhelming demand. One moment, you think you’re about to make a kid’s Christmas dream come true. The next, gift givers become credit card-wielding wildebeest…and you’re the cliffhanging Mufasa. I was one of those battle-scarred, cardigan-clad Cast Members that holiday season, doing my time at a suburban-Atlanta mall where I developed a nervous tick that still flares up when I smell a food court, see an astronaut or hear the voice of Tim Allen. While the supply of Buzz Lightyear toys has changed considerably over these past 20-plus years, the demand for all things Toy Story remains as strong as a procrastinator’s grip on Christmas Eve. Today, with Toy Story now a trilogy and a fourth film in production, Andy’s toys continue to find new homes at Disney Parks around the world, including new Toy Story-themed lands at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (pages 3-4) and Shanghai Disneyland (page 22).

  • Twenty Years of Disney Vacation Club®
    sUMMER2012 • Volume21 • Number2 TWENTY YEARS OF DISNEY VACATION CLUB® To say I know a lot about cars would be like saying the Kardashians know a lot about privacy. I’m not ashamed to admit that if the imaginary “man card” wasn’t imaginary, the checklist of male stereotypes on the back of mine would include at least one empty box. Football? Check. Ignoring written instructions? Check. Affinity for standing around a grill? Emphatic check. Knowledge of cars? Not so much. Whereas a card-carrying gear head may ask a salesman about gaskets, manifolds and flywheels (words I just pulled off the Internet), I’m more likely to ask about cup holders, floor mats and those fun little retractable storage compartments for sunglasses. So imagine my surprise when, in 2006, the good people at Pixar captivated me with a movie about – and titled – Cars. Mater and McQueen connected me to motor vehicles in a way I haven’t felt since “The Dukes of Hazzard” left the airwaves, and the film added a Route 66 road trip to my bucket list. Whetting my appetite for that trip will be Cars Land, scheduled to welcome Disney California Adventure Guests to Radiator Springs on June 15. I sat down with two of the project’s lead Imagineers to get the inside scoop about this 12-acre paradise of motors and magic (pages 3-6). And that’s not the only story boosting the strength of my man card in this edition. Page 8, for example, examines the growing trend of Members gathering around fire pits at Disney Vacation Club Resorts.
