| This week we feature gadgets, engagements
and other celebrations. The Disneyland Resort has become Wall-y land
due to all the rehabs and construction and we get amazing photos of
Disneyland similarly frozen. We get to visit Knott's Berry Farm
and Magic Mountain and a Monster Truck Show too. Enjoy! -

sharp, brilliant, and must be seen!

Paris covered by snow...and ice!
loaloa55 has a crazy trip report for you -
as the title states, DLP is, well, covered in snow and ice!
It's absolutely gorgeous - take a peek!
Shanghai
DL - now from an official source
tasman (and other members) have declared and
linked to sites talking about Disney's rumored Shanghai park
that is actually coming to fruition (though some sites say opening
2013 and other 2014 - we'll see), estimated to cost over 3 billion.
We talked about this earlier, but it now looks like it is definitely
happening. But how do you feel about this? Are you excited for
the potential of a new park, or look at this with some trepidation?
Discuss it here.
Can you believe we're already just about halfway
through the first month of 2009?! Let's see what's going on outside
of the Disney Parks this week. ~elly
Knott's
Berry Farm: The Non-Haunt version
Even though some of us (yeah, it's me) think Knott's Berry Farm
in Buena Park, California is only about their Halloween Haunt,
darkfairycthulu brings us an amazing trip report
filled with pictorial reminders of the pieces of the Old West
that can be found there all year long.

simply asks which non-Disney parks are your favorites.

Snow White Raven

The
best and worst places to live
After hearing a top ten list on a local radio show, Disneykat
decides to ask the MiceChatters what's good or bad about the
place you call home? From the varied answers, it seems there
are at least as many opinions as there are different places
to live.
