The MiceChat Gumball Rally is going to Walt Disney World October 18th, 2008!

Many have said that they had never had so much fun in the parks before. Others can't wait to compete each year. This time around, we challenge you to ride a set of attractions in all four parks at WDW in just one day! It promises to be a fun and unique way to visit the parks - all of them.

Since our first event at Disneyland over two years ago, this has been your biggest request "Bring the Rally to Disney World," so we are! Whether this is your first visit to WDW or your hundredth, this event was designed for you to have a great time: Gumball Rally Information.
