The weather outside's delightful, but those
quakes (oh my) are frightful. And since we don't want to go, let it
shake, let it shimmy, let it roll. Who says we aren't dedicated
enough to bring you the MiceChat Round-Up each week? We certainly
didn't let a lil 'ol 5.4 earthquake stop us did we? - Westley

Aladdin
Fake
Christmas Tree this year..
AaronInCal hears the possibility of Disneyland turning
from a real Christmas tree to an artificial one. What kind of

over 50 years?

Last Friday, Disney's first woman Imagineer passed away –
Harriet Burns. She was 79 years old. Farewell,
Harriet.
Journey
to the Center of the Earth at DAK?
I think this would be a great idea! Imagine a smoking volcano
on the other side of the Tree of Life. What a visual- Everest to
the right, Journey's volcano to the left. Would certainly bring
Harry Potter to his knees! I did some photoshopping just for
fun. Looks great- you can see it on my blog. Would you like
Journey at DAK? What do you think?
Yeti
Problems...A big "uh-oh"?
Peabody writes: "So we just moved
to central FL and have been going to the parks every weekend.
The yeti had been down for all my visits to DAK. Friday I got
to Everest and casually asked the ride-op who was just standing
at the single rider entrance if the Yeti was working. He said
(which really surprised me that he would offer up such info.)
that it was discovered a few weeks ago that he cracked his foundation.
Wow! Anyone else hear this or anything similar?" A
Cracked foundation? Yikes!

"Well
I'll be… it's the Blue Fairy!"
New member JedimasterMatt writes "I
LOVE WISHES! It's no joke. I'm a 36 year old man who's
not ashamed to admit that a night standing in front of an illuminated
multi-color concrete and steel castle while fireworks are popping
over the top of classic Disney songs and characters speaking
completely pulls my heartstrings and reduces me to a timeless
child. The whole show is a 12 minute escape into the heart and
soul of what makes Disney so special." You are in
good company Matt.

10 Best Attractions
FinalAdventure asks: "What are some
of the best non-Disney attractions you've ever been on? It could

a haunted house, a dark ride, a midway game, a carnival ride...
anything."

Belly Up to the Bar
An epic story of miniature proportions by Steve DeGaetno, discuss it here!
A rather eclectic mash-up of tastes this week, with everything
from classical music (via the Muppets) to comic books (via the
silver screen). ~ PEZZ
Beaker
Does Beethoven
Tiggerfan is a music lover and his highbrow tastes
meld perfectly with his no-brow love for the Muppets. Here is
a sample of the underrated fourth tenor, Beaker, as he graces
us with Beethoven and a bit of Bizet for dessert. Bravisimo!
Sordid
Lives, the Series
Sparky wants to know if anyone is watching this
soon-to-be-classic television show, based on a film of the same
name! We all know how great movie-to-TV sitcoms (like My Big
Fat Greek Wedding) are! Some MiceChatters were at the premier
and give a glimpse of the fun!
Where
can I buy cheap, college textbooks?
This hardly qualifies as Entertainment, but Disney Wrassler
needs textbooks and wants to know if there are any ways to get
them without breaking his college budget. Any help out there
from other college Chatters?
Rocky
Horror Picture show as done by MTV
Great Scott! DocDar brings us the news that MTV is developing
a remake of the wildly popular (and wholly non-family friendly)
Rocky Horror Picture Show. Maybe this will finally usher in
Pink Flamingos - The Musical!
The
Watchmen Movie. Will you see it?
Based on one of the best graphic novels of all time (according
to this reviewer), Watchmen is hitting the big screen on 03/06/09
(get it?) Disney Wrassler wants to know - Who Will Watch
the Watchmen?

Calling
my Sephora Girls!

if anyone else has tried it. Not since press-on nails has anything
been so easy and... press-on! Only this time it's eye shadow!
Press on, ladies!
Drop that Wii-mote, human, and join us in Middle Earth for a
Tolkien good time! ~ PEZZ
wii
controllers no more?
Newsflash! DisneyFan28 reports that Wii remotes may be
subject to a ban if a certain Civil Justice System has its way!
It seems the remarkable and popular game control system is embroiled
in a patent law suit, threatening to make them go the way of
the Atari Dodo. Could this spell doom for the Nintendo juggernaut?
Highly doubtful, but a little drama never hurt anyone...
Lord
of the Rings Online......Any Good?
Gglplozo wants to know if any MiceChatters play LOTR
online. Can anyone vouch for this game? We promises to keep
it secret, keep it safe, Precious…

a familiar name on it!
WDW

spend Summer... In FL? I think you understand...
