First
Disney Robocoster Type Ride Coming To EPCOT
Is it a roller coaster? Or just an incredible simulation? Ride
Warrior tells us about an upcoming attraction at WDW
that may just blur the line between reality and imitation. But
the motion sickness is 100% natural...
WDW
and the biometrics
Draybook doesn't like this whole biometric
finger identification thing they have going on over there at
DAK. For whatever reason, many folks don't. Let's see what other
MiceChatters have to say about this system. Some think it's
fine. Others want to give it another type of finger salute...
Aerosmith
being dumped for Hannah Montana?!?!
Space Junk heard a nasty rumor about Hannah
Montana. Not that one! Not even that second one you're thinking
of... He keeps hearing that she will be taking over the Rock'n
Rollercoaster when Aerosmith's contract is up! Who will be the
last Rock Star standing? I'll be keeping an eye out for this
because I don't wanna miss a thing!
What will you celebrate? How about Offshore Park Birthdays! Two
fantastic Disney parks put another candle on their birthday cakes
recently. And we have some thoughts on Tokyo Disneyland, including
an imminent Monster invasion! ~ PEZZ
HAPPY
26th ANNIVERSARY TDL!!!

17th Anniversary Disneyland Paris ! Joyeux Anniversaire !
DLRP_bopazot wants to share a big Happy Anniversary
to his home park after being around for 17 big years! If the

it would have been drinking and smoking for a year already).
SuperMatt

it!
Monsters
Inc Grand Opening Report
Roger55 was there for the grand opening of
the new Monsters Inc. ride at TDL! He was able to ride it 3

wait times being quoted to guests. HOW long did you say it was
going to be!?!

nightly show in front of the castle. You can read it here or

only park to feature this classic attraction. Could ET soon
be leaving there as well?
Manta Test Run Video!! - 04/19/09
Finally this week, SummerInFl brings us video
of Sea World Orlando's newest coaster, Manta. The ride won't
open for about a month, but these awesome video's should make
you want to get in line today.
Is everyone out basking in the very hot Spring sun? The Lounges
have been a little quiet this week. It could be the glorious weather
keeping everyone busy... or not. Possibly everyone is out job
hunting, or better yet, busy planning a (yay!) wedding.~

Gibson
Girls Is it worth it?

in the Gibson Girls forum, therefore, cositaluvsmickey
has come to right place asking for advice about it.
Looking
for work – need help
Jobs are hard to come by these days and even those fortunate
enough to be working find themselves in perilous, precarious
positions. Everyone could use a little support while job searching.
Barbossa had the idea to create this thread
for the exchange of information and ideas, especially for
MiceChatters
looking for work.
Ever
lived in your car?
Uncertain are the times we live in now, and sadly, one of our
own is close to losing her home. Orcinus seems
determined to make the best of it though, and there is no shortage
here of good will being sent her direction.
Iowa
Research-Guess who's getting hitched?
Finally this week, an occasion to rejoice and celebrate! I'm
not talking about his graceful fall UP the stairs, but rather
a wedding. Our beloved Roo719 and his partner
of more than ten years will be making the trip to Iowa to tie
the knot. Best wishes for a speedy recovery so you can make
the trip soon, plus lots of love and congratulations to you,
Roo!
