Last MiceChat Round-Up of August; Summer
at Disneyland
came and went and still no Murphy. At least the Summer ain't dragon.
Get it? Oh go ahead and laugh. There's discussion this week that corn dogs
are shrinking, that Mickey was loitering in the sky during the
wishes show in Florida and that MiceChat is up for a very important
award. Read on!- Fishbulb
This week, incredible home movies of a family trip to 1956 Disneyland
surface online - in COLOR, a favorite former Snow White becomes
a multi-millionaire, and the famous corn dogs on Main Street become
another victim of managerial miniaturization! ~ Aladdin
Congrats
to former Snow White
A former favorite Snow White from Disneyland found fortune in
the California Lottery as a new multi-millionaire! twobluestripes
points us to the fairytale story, come true!

Restaurants at DLR matterhornlove31 wants to know which restaurants
you love and which you loath, at the Disneyland Resort! Sound
off here!
When did Main Street Corn Dog Cart's corn dogs shrink?
Maybe we won't go to Disneyland for the corn dogs, anymore! ah6tyfour
recently noticed that this Main Street favorite food is now
in Short-er supply.
Welcome back to Disneyland Rumors and Armchair Imagineering!
I survived BlizzCon this past weekend… if you were there
then I hope you had as good a time as I did! We have some
great ideas again this week, and a few disconcerting rumors.
Please keep posting your ideas and rumors – we would
love to see them here for the next Roundup! - Demigod
“It's
a Small World” may not get overlay. junglecskipper reports that the holiday part
of the DLR website doesn't show It's A Small World
Holiday. Might there be no holiday overlay this year?
What
to do with the Jungle Cruise?
New MiceChat member aquila wonders what could
be done with the Jungle Cruise, if it is ever replaced.
The
Disney Obscure
Veteran MiceChatter Ortizmo2000 would like
to see some of the lesser known Disney characters and movies
represented at Disneyland. What do you think?
AP
to go up $200 over the next 5 years
MiceChat member Homan hears that the price
of the premium AP could go up $40 each year for the next 5 years.
Could that be a good thing?
This week, we have a few fun photo reports and a tale of a mountain.
Or maybe two mountains? Too many mountains!~ PEZZ
Resorts
and EPCOT June 2009 WDW Monorail visited the Parks a while back
but just got around to putting up some photos. But the wait
is worth it! Check out the beautiful shots of the resort hotels
and the monorail shots are (as you might expect) spectacular!

Mouse spotted loitering in the sky during Wishes! JediMasterMatt is back with more fireworks
shots after showing us some excellent Blue Fairy photographs.
This time, he focused his finely honed Jedi skillz on capturing
the elusive Mickey in the sky! See the awesome results here! Matterhorn in WDW! Spacoli has some thoughts on the Matterhorn
and how it could (should?) be added to WDW. Funny thing is -
it almost was! Check it out and join this snow-capped conversation
here!
This week in news from around the globe, we have some manic
merch from Japan, new (returning) Holiday offerings from France,
and a question about the layout of the Hong Kong park...
~ Pezz
Hong
Kong - Random thought about HK park layout CaliforniaDreaming had a thought recently about
the macro-ergonomics of Disneyland Park in Hong Kong. Does this
symmetry bode well for the fledgling park? Let's hope so!
Kids are heading back to school, but old Mother Nature
still isn't bringing cooler temperatures to my neck of the woods.
Let's cool off and see what's happening outside of the Disney
Parks this week.~ elly

or books. There are definitely several MiceChatters addicted
to it, so join the discussion!
The
PS3 Slim and Price Drop!
Sony finally announces a drop for the PS3 Slim to the $300 price
point. With a blu-ray capability, will this finally lift PS3
sales?
Guess
who's unretired again!!!
A certain retired quarterback has come back to the game. What
do you think of Brett Favre as a Minnesota Viking?
New
Cowboys Stadium debut...uh oh
The 2009 NFL Pre-Season is already underway. The Dallas Cowboys
have a new football stadium that by most accounts is amazing.
However, there is just one little problem.

Questions
about the Main Street Set
Newer MiceChatter Epcot2000 is looking at taking
the plunge and investing in the Olszewski Disneyland Main Street

around here who have some of the pieces if not all of them that
could offer their advice.
