Hey folks, welcome to the MiceChat Round-Up. It's still raining in Southern California and the Disneyland Resort has seen lighter crowds due to it. This, however, has not stopped the bulldozers from continuing to rescue California Adventure (DCA). We also have more pics from Tokyo Disneyland and some armchair imagineering for the Hong Kong park (HKDL). Have you heard? Chat is the word -  Fishbulb
