News submission problems?

Jeff -

I was just trying to submit a story I found on CNN.com about Disney having issues with motor scooters, and I'm not sure I understand how the news submission page works? I thought most news stories were submitted with a title, summary, and link.

There was no spot to submit a link in the form I got, plus the only Disney properties in the "related parks" menu were Animal Kingdom, MGM and Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. Plus, when I put down what I thought was required, I got some sort of server error.

Any idea what's going on and any instructions on how to use the news page?

Just put the link in the body of the text. If your title or summary is too long, it'll cause an error because after a year I still haven't fixed that.

And all of the Disney parks are there, save for I think DisneySea.

Well the story disappeared from the CNN.com frontpage so I guess I won't be submitting it, but I just checked the list again, and there are more Disney's there than there were before, but I still only see DL, DLP, DCA, MGM and AK in the list. And under "Walt" there's only one park from overseas. What is the "Disney World" entry under?

Magic Kingdom is listed seperatly. It is not listed under Disney or Walt.

And there's my answer =) Geez, try and find somethin under its real name and we gotta be all "Coaster geeky" about it and stuff! Whatever, Disney won't let people in with scooters and they're pissed cause they think its degrading to ride in a wheelchair when they can stand with their scooters. For anyone who cares, that was the news story ... seems like such a waste of bandwith now ;)

Magic Kingdom = Magic Kingdom
EPCOT = EPCOT
Disney Studios = Disney Studios
Animal Kingdom = Animal Kingdom

Walt Disney World = All of the above plus a billion other things.
