Welcome to the one and only MiceChat Round-Up, your weekly summary of Disney and theme park news and discussions. This week a lucky MiceChatter got into Disneyland's Club 33, while some are already talking about how to improve HalloweenTime. Meanwhile, others discuss what could improve Disney Hollywood Studios in Florida and we take a look at Oriental Land's relief efforts in Japan. We have plenty from MiceAge as well. Let's get to it. - CakalaSC

Q. OK they have just raised the ticket prices for both parks here in Anaheim, and the quality of California Adventure is on the rise. Are they going to give the DCA park schedule a bump to 8 to 12 just like Disneyland? I think prices are a little steep for fewer hours of operation. - Brian
A. My educated guess is that we'll probably see a longer DCA operating day on a regular basis once Cars Land opens. They are still adding to the mix of attractions and entertainment, along with dining and shopping venues that when properly balanced help keep visitors busy and spending into the night. - Al
