| More celebrations, a West Coast
Bash, and the Universe of Energy is being repainted. We also
have
more armchair imagineering and a look at extreme sheepherding.
I'd also like to let everyone know that the shop for the
MiceChat
Gumball Rally has finally opened and you can purchase you
tickets NOW! What's the Gumball Rally? Well...
Have you ever wondered if it was possible to ride all of the
attractions at Disneyland in a single day? What if you tried
to ride all of the attractions in the entire Disneyland Resort?
What if we made it a competition and you could win prizes for
the most attractions completed in a single day? And what if
we assembled it all in an extremely fun and creative way? The
MiceChat Gumball Rally is all that and more. You need only ask
previous competitors to know that this is an event you won't
want to miss!
MiceChat's Gumball Rally is a uniquely fun event that nearly
ANYONE can participate in. Being a Disney nut may make it more
fun for you, but anyone can compete and do well in this event.
You don't need to come to the event knowing any Disney or Theme
Park trivia. We don't make you jump through hoops or count the
number of bricks on Main Street. Instead, we set you on a course
for adventure at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Compete in teams of 2 to 4 people. We have been told over and
over again that this is the most fun you can have at the parks.
It is the Disney Fan's version of a triathlon. A magical, pixie-dusted, bibbiddi-bobbiddy, zip-a-dee-doo-dah, mega-Disney experience
of a lifetime.

West
Coast Bash 2009 - Six Flags Magic Mountain
SirClinksalot submits a trip report from the
West Coast Bash event at Magic Mountain that was put together
by our friend Rob Alvey at ThemeParkReview. An AMAZING time

over-the-shoulder restraints off of Revolution...

If
You Were Invisible, What Would You Do At The Park?
Ride Warrior asked what you would do at Disneyland
if you had the power to become invisible. Where would you wander
around? Would you do some happy haunting?
Howdy, MiceChatters! A tasty rumor for you as a bonus this

DCA
Concept: Redwood Creek Museum of Monsters
From
darkfairycthulu comes this very interesting
idea for reworking the Redwood Creek/Golden State areas of
California Adventure.
This week! We have a Trip Report with gazillions of great pictures,
awesomely interactive maps, and lots of Epcot! Back to the future
colors, rumored sponsorship changes and financial
responsibility taught... all at Epcot?!? Start saving those nickels
and some day you could be there too! ~ PEZZ
Krank's
March 15th-19th TR! (Picture Heavy)
Krankenstein got some quality time at WDW recently
and did us all a huge favor by sharing a bunch of excellent
photos with us! He has daytime, nighttime, attractions, construction,
parades, flower show, characters, lodging, and bathroom photos!
OK, not that last one. I was just seeing if you were still reading.
Check it out!
DisneyWorld
interactive maps
Want a virtual tour of WDW? HV10N90 has put
together an incredible array of interactive maps that take you
all over the Parks! Click into a Land and you can take a virtual
ride or tour on any of the attractions. It takes time (and money)
than the real thing, so come on in!
Test
Track - GM Banks One Last Turn ..While Toyota Is 'Moving Forward'?
Ride Warrior found some rumored news on Test
Track getting some new treads - Toyota style! GM may have financial
issues with it's continued sponsorship of this high speed attraction
and Toyota appears poised to step in. Lots of chat about what
it may mean to the ride (MPH and MPG) in here!
Coming
New EPCOT Attraction: The Great Piggy Bank Adventure
This may be the time for Hamm from Toy Story to get a starring
role in his own attraction! Or maybe just part of an attraction?
Ride Warrior has more news about this addition
to Innoventions that will incorporate financial education and
empowerment. I wonder if the cost of the WDW vacation will be
amortized over 20 years to show the net effect to the family's
long-term financial stability?
Universe
of Energy becoming 'unpainted' to the original colors!
Who knows what updated (if nostalgic) color schemes await you
at Epcot? The Shadoe knows! The Universe of
Energy is getting some retro-fitted painting to way it used
to look. and there is also talk of how to update this attraction
meet the energy needs of today's fossil fuel weary populace.
Turn on the juice and see what shakes loose!
Let's take a trip across the oceans to see what the International
Disney Parks are up to... Tokyo has character costume updates,
Paris has Trip Reports with many fine photos, and the long-rumored
Shanghai DL may be getting less probable, even as you read this...-PEZZ
Tokyo
- New costumes for Spring Carnival
Ichigopara found a picture of our favorite
mouse characters in fancy new duds for the upcoming Spring Carnival!
Very nice and colorful! Also, this thread serves as the place
to discuss several new goings-on in and around TDL. Check it
out!
Paris
- Testing...1, 2, 3 testing (photo heavy).
Sgt. Tibs is preparing to advance on Paris
once again and shares his photos from 2 years ago in preparation.
Beautiful photos from this amazing park never go out of style
and this is one cat who knows where it's at!
Paris
- Visited the resort recently...
Mister_Peterman (of the Sydney Petermans) was
having a walkabout through Europe recently and decided to spend
his birthday at DLRP. There is terrific text and a link to fabulous
photos as well. Click and see!
Hong
Kong - Shanghai Disney
Mclubber wonders if the financial woes evident
at HKDL will mean the end of the possible, rumored, almost potentially
plausible Disney Park in Shanghai? There is a lot of talk about
the current Park, the region, and wisdom of locating another
one there. Has Shanghai been... Shanghaied?

Legoland
questions
StickyWicket has a lego fan in the house and
is planning a trip to Legoland. Can you help answer a few questions?
Is everyone still getting used to the time change? Or still out
celebrating St. Patrick's Day? Possibly everyone is visiting their
closest Disney Park, or perhaps enjoying the fine weather and
gardening? Maybe it's just spring fever. Things are quieter than
usual in the Main Lounge, but there's always something to discuss
~disneyballerina

To
tote or not to tote? (a purse, that is)
Stitchy is suffering with some back and shoulder pain due to
