We're Thankful . . .
For living in Southern California, for surviving through a difficult economic time and most of all for our wonderful readers and friends who have been so supportive over the years. For all the challenges that life presents, the theme parks help us suspend reality for a bit and just enjoy ourselves. And that is the true enduring power of special places like Disneyland. This month, we've got a few news and featured items we'd like to share with you from some of our favorite places.

Al
Lutz : Pyro & Parades? Pay Up!
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into
the park... Al Lutz updates us on the nefarious
plans brewing within the walls of Team Disney Anaheim that could
bring a serious up-charge to the festive parades
and fireworks that Southern Californians have come to think of as tradition. Read further if you dare.
Jack Lindquist, former president of the Disneyland
Resort, has scribed a memoir. "In Service
to the Mouse," details the career of one
of Disneyland's most beloved cast members. Sue
Kruse masterfully interweaves memory and interview
and offers a sneek peek at a chapter of the
new book.

Kevin
Yee: Show Business
The amusement
industry recently completed a convention and trade show called
IAAPA. It’s back in Orlando now, and will be produced there for a few years. As always, this show
is a treat to visit. But if you couldn't see it for yourself, join us for the scoop. |
It was a big month for our In The Parks blog. The
Calico Mine Train celebrated
50 years of subterranean adventures. Meanwhile Disneyland, Universal and Knott's have been fully decked out for Christmas. Join us and you just might win tickets to the Discovery Science Center.

Oswald
and Mickey About To Be EPIC Again
Dustysage had the opportunity to speak with Warren
Spector, designer of the upcoming game Epic
Mickey. It was an enlightening discussion which left
him antsy to pick up the Wiimote and explore this
exciting new Disney universe. We think you'll be impressed with this family friendly game.
