Hi all, This week has been fairly quiet on the character news front, but there are now a few more details emerging about the upcoming Halloween Season across the parks. At Walt Disney World the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party line up has been released and can be found on our forums here. There are no real surprises as rumours had been flying around for a while. Just confirmation really of some of those expected, including Jack Sparrow, Lotso and Gaston. [ Read More... ] |

 | Happy 81st Birthday Pluto! | |

Today is Pluto's 81st Birthday, so join us in a picture tribute to Mickey's faithful pal.
Pluto originally appeared as a blood hound in 1930 in a short cartoon, and went on to become Minnie's pet "Rover", before finally taking residence with Mickey Mouse in 1931.
Pluto has a girlfriend by the name of Dinah the Dachshund, and has a dislike for chipmunks following one disastrous encounter at Christmas!
Always by Mickey's side, a faithful friend and companion, Pluto is truly a Mouse's best friend.

Happy Labor Day!
Labor Day is an American holiday to celebrate the social and economic contributions of workers. It also serves as the unofficial end of the summer which is one of the busiest times of the year for all the hard working Disney cast members. So let us celebrate and thank all the cast members who make the magic happen!

Hi all,
Welcome to the final, albeit delayed, part of my Hong Kong Disneyland trip report.
There are just a few things that I wanted to talk about that did not really fit into the other parts, as they were more about the individual lands.
So I want to now just mention the 5th anniversary happenings, summer events and a couple of other special things that we did while we were there.
Since last September HKDL has been celebrating its fifth birthday, and this year made some additions and changes to the entertainment line-up. [ Read More... ] |

Today is a Bank Holiday here in the UK (a government holiday to some other countries).
It also marks the start of the last few days of summer before people return from their summer vacations to go back to school and work.
I thought we'd celebrate the last day of summer fun and sun by taking a look at what some of our Disney Character friends get up to on while they are on vacation! [ Read More... ] |

Hi all, We begin today's news with Halloween at Disneyland Paris. According to a friend of mine (who has many contacts), this year Disneyland Paris will not feature the Pumpkin People or the Halloween post/pre parade! I am not sure how accurate this is, because at very least the post/pre parade has always been a popular staple of the Halloween offerings at the park. I will be very surprised if they do actually go forward with this. [ Read More... ] |

Hi all, We start the news this week with D23 over in California. Sadly, much to the fans disappointment there were no real major announcements but one thing did come out of the Parks talk, and that is that the Carnation Plaza Stage area of Main Street in Disneyland will be re-themed. It will in fact become part of Fantasyland and will take on the look of a small village complete with a Rapunzel Tower and a small stage for shows. No other real details yet, but it looked fairly sizeable considering the relatively small space up in that area. Interestingly the new area will be called Fantasy Faire. It will house the Disney Princesses, and is likely to replace the current, similarly named, Princess Fantasy Faire that already exists in Fantasyland. Hopefully PFF will be returned to it's former glory and house some neat shows once again. [ Read More... ] |
