The
Summer Fireworks show MAGICAL is back, as is Fantasmic! Silly
Symphony Swings are making regular rounds, we have several great
trip reports AND Disney has made several controversial announcements
including a major renovation of Disneyland Hotel pool and the surrounding area. We will soon be losing the Lost Bar,
losing the waterfalls, and losing Skull Rock. Plans for the
paid Halloween Party have been announced, and if you want to see
Zero fly over the castle this year, get ready to fork over the
dough for that Halloween Party. ~ Aladdin
