| Hi folks, it's Round-Up time here. We hope all enjoyed
a wonderful Father's Day weekend and got dear 'ol Dad that
wonderfully tacky tie he'd had his eye on for so long. Today
we have Mickey-shaped butter, Father's Day frivolity in
Disneyland
and video from Disney parks around the world. - Fishbulb

Could
this be a new People Mover concept?
In this interesting thread, Rob F grabs some screen shots from
the upcoming Pixar feature Wall•E pointing out a very familiar
icon that appears in the film. Could this be the a slight hint
of things to come?
Indiana
Jones: and the summer of pure torture..
TheLost fears that the rumor might be true.
Will the Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbiden Eye attraction
be down more than it is up during his visit? With two other
attractions already off the roster for his family visit he doesn't
think he can take another closure.

Who
Remembers Mickey Shaped Butter?
tjcjr writes:
We have been travelling to WDW for a good number
of years now during which time we had the opportunity to
enjoy many of the little "Park perks" that sadly
no longer exist. Many of these were items served in park
restaurants such as butter in the shape of a small Mickey
standing figure, the circular shaped Mickey face butter
discs, the specific park themed Kids cups that were made
of solid plastic and came with a solid plastic cover, just
to name a few.
Videos galore from Tokyo this week! Also, some upgrades, large
and modest, come to Hong Kong and Paris - PEZZ
Tokyo
Disney Resort '07 Videos

If you are looking for excellent photos from Tokyo Disneyland,
check out ChiiDesu's thread. He starts with
a look back to his last visit and then gets right into his most
recent trip. Great shots of parades, rides, and the beautiful
anniversary castle!
New
retrofuturistic topping stations at Videopolis
We all know they don't have Quarter Pounders in France, but
how do they top the burgers they do have? Well, Pussnboots shows
that, at Disneyland Paris, they have new (cool looking) cars
with ketchup and condiments on board! These really put flavor
into high gear...
The
latest photos of Adventureland's construction site
Mickey20d did a little sleuthing recently in
Hong Kong Disneyland and brings us a few pictures of heavy equipment
going to work. Speculation is running rampant on the intent
of the construction, so read on and join in!

Point/Canada's Wonderland/Niagara Falls
MonkeyJoe begins his report from Cedar Point.
Are
you kidding me? Another Reason I Can't Stand Six Flags!!!
It seems that Six Flags has devised a new way to fleece the
flocking visitors. Required locker rentals while on rides seems
to be the new policy and CinderellaPrincess
uncovered what may be a very bad move on Six Flag's part.
Week in and week out, the columnists, bloggers, and web masters
of MiceAge, MiceChat, Yesterland, O-Meon, and our partner sites

short on time, consider checking MiceChat's new front page once
or twice a week. We'll always update you on what's important.
Here are some of the top items from the past week:

Lie?

Monday
in the Parks
David "Darkbeer" Michael posts this
must read column every Monday. This week: The Dream House, Garden
Walk, Toy Story Mania, Indiana Jones, and lot's of tid bits
from around the parks.
Work, work, work. We all have to do it. Of course, if work's
not your thing -- yo ho, yo ho, hey! You could always resort to
piracy. After a hard day pillaging and plundering, you could use
the loot to decorate your themed backyard. Watch out for raccoons,
they are little thieves! The Main Lounge is the place to hang
to talk about all of this and more -- even the weather. Sometimes
people (very, very funny people) even talk about Disneyland in
the Main Lounge. ~disneyballerina
What
are your work day milestones?
Olympicnut, neurotic? Just because he has a
schedule in place, telling him when to finish his vitamin water?
Not neurotic! Keeping to the schedule helps to pass the time
at work. How do you do it?
Awkward
and ButterflyLark Visit the Pirate Festival - TR
Ye come seeking adventure and salty old pirates, aye? Sure you've
