Splashmoun10's
Awesome Photos for August 4th-11th, GREAT JOB! (8/4/09---8/11/09)
SplashMoun10 just got back from WDW with some
incredible shots from all over the place! Take a look at his
marvelous HiDef and panoramic photos! Marvel at the use of color,
focus, backlight, and sometimes water! This is a trip report
you won't want to miss!
Animal
Kingdom Fastpass
Neon Cactus is curious about the newly installed
FastPass station at Animal Kingdom. It has 3 FastPass machines
in one place for your convenience. There are some replies and
pictures to boot!
Adding
a New Gate! (but not where you'd think)
Skprnck has a crazy idea about linking up the
Animal Kingdom with the rest of the Parks - by monorail! Who
ever thought it would be a good idea to use a monorail to go
from one place to another? Crazy, I tell ya...
Epcot
Food and Wine Festival Info!
Summer may be almost over, but SummerInFL never stops! She has
the latest release on the Food and Wine Festival - which is
always a delight! Who's going?
Invite me!
Man
convicted of groping Minnie Mouse
Okay people. We all know how to conduct ourselves in the Parks.
We all know what acceptable behavior is and what is simply NOT
acceptable. OogieBoogie reports that, apparently,
somebody did not get this memo and got himself into some trouble
while at WDW. Somebody who should be old enough to know better.
Somebody's grandfather. The Cast Members who make the magic
happen don't always get the respect they deserve. And sometimes
Guests get convicted of battery when they get out of line. Tsk-tsk!
Our globetrotting MiceChatters bring back plenty of goodies
from their summer vacations this week! See excellent photos and
watch very fun video from across the seas. Also, how many Disney
Parks can China hold? Maybe Hong Kong and Shanghai are just the
beginning? ~ Pezz

first trip to TDL recently. His experience is very well detailed,

in Japan'
Marky4839 is a newer MiceChatter with a lot
of video talent and some great footage to share from this trip
to Japan. Check out his YouTube travelogue from all over the
place, not just TDL. It's enough to make you say 'Arigato'!
Paris
- Yes another trip report - picture heavy
What do you call a Disney fan in Canada? Mickey_Moose
of course! This fantastic friend from the Great White North
went to DLRP and has some awe-inspiring photos to show for it!
Check out the dragon in the castle dungeon. That one will make
your hair curl...
Paris - Disneyland Trip in May 2009

Hong
Kong - Shanghai Disney Park 'No Threat' says SH Official
Hkdlfan reports on the announcement that a
leading tourism official in China says that three's company
when it comes to Disney Parks. Shanghai Disney? Bring it on.
Welcome to another week of seeing what's going on outside
of the Disney Parks. I'd like to take a quick moment to tell my

with the mush and on with the Other Parks section! ~ elly
