| Here at the Disneyland Resort the
MiceChat Practice Gumball Rally was a huge success. But we aren't
stopping there. We have the full Gumball Rally coming up on Saturday May 30th
and it promises to be a million times more fun. Disney World is getting
a Stitch Stage while Tokyo Disneyland continues to celebrate (Now it's the
26th anniversary). In other news, apes are being resurrected,
pigs are flying and Disney looks to the Earth for movie material.
Enjoy!
MiceChat is a ton of fun. But you can't play and you can't win

Editor's Pick
This week DisneyBallerina submitted
a wonderful piece about the Meets and Events section of MiceChat.
It was so good I decided to let her tell you all about it in her
own words...
If you've never been to a MiceChat event and you're
hesitating, please watch the Meets & Events section for
an outing or meet which might be just right for you. Plus, there
is always the traditional Sunday noon meet in the hub; that
is hard to beat for Disney-loving fun. Truly, I think it would
be difficult to find a more friendly, welcoming group of people
than the MiceChatters in the hub on any Sunday. Don't be shy,
all are welcome! ~ disneyballerina
Practice
Rally Winners!
The dust has settled on the Practice Rally held at Disneyland
last weekend and wow! A great time was had by all. It was a
beautiful day for a trial run of the big event coming up next
month and a perfect opportunity for the enthusiastic teams to
have fun competing before the 'real' pressure is on! The results
of the competition are here, and our own Dustysage
has all the scoop and some great photos.
Now they are hiding the BBQ's high prices!
Lots of activity this week with announcements of Entertainment,
Enhancements, and Electrical Parade additions coming this summer.
LOTS of reports from DCA's Food and Wine Festival, as well
at the practice run for the Gumball Rally! And top it all off
with LOTS of videos of several new additions to the resort! ~

his upcoming trip to WDW but wants to know how much money
MiceChatters
(or people they have heard of) have parted with on their vacations
there. It begs the Question: How high... is up?
This week we get tons of super-awesome pics from Tokyo Disney,
including some very dangerous Monsters Merch! Also, is OK to par-lay
the En-glay in Fran-say? ~ PEZZ
Tokyo
- the 26th anniversary day trip report
TDLFAN was at... well... TDL the day it celebrated
it's 26th anniversary and the new Monsters Inc. Ride opened!
What was THAT line like? You won't believe your eyes. Also,
wonderful shots of parade floats, food, castle, rides, and a
fistful of Fastpasses!
Tokyo
- Let's go Shopping at TDL!!!
TDLFAN did some merch-an-diffic sightseeing at DLRP and shows
off some of the amazing toys and clothing available there! I,
for one, never even knew I needed a hat that looks like Roz
(from Monsters Inc). Until I saw her standing (slithering?)
there...
Paris
- Language Barrier
Henryt93 is going to DLRP soon and wants to
know how easily it is to converse at the Park? Or is it Parque?
Anyway, MiceChatters are more than happy to compare the multi-lingual
possibilities that exist in DLRP as opposed to, say, actual
Paris for example...
As Dr. Nick would say, Hi there everybody! I think Spring has
finally sprung for most of us and as the trees and flowers bloom,
so does the Other Parks section of MiceChat. Let's see what everyone's
talking about this week. ~ elly
Aimster

he's been places I want to go!
KONG
is returning to USH
As a big fan of Kong myself I was very excited to read this

new and different?

Manta
opening ahead of schedule...
The title almost says it all, but TDLFAN provides
even more evidence as to a possible early opening for the much
anticipated opening of Manta at Sea World Orlando. Maybe they're
trying to impress GE?
Sleeping

Rikki-Tikki-Alex took a trip to Bavaria and

shares their views and photos with us in this trip report.
Tacos, ticks, and Tom Selleck -- hmm. When will I figure out
a way to tie these threads together? When pigs fly, I reckon.
Oh, and speaking of swine... ~ disneyballerina
Thank
you to all
New MiceChatter cositaluvsmickey had a wonderful
time at the Practice Rally last weekend and wanted to express

yes, others not so much. There definitely seems to be no shortage
of media coverage about it, so if you have some thoughts to
share, check out Barbossa's thread here.
The trouble with ticks
So far, so good for my canine friend, but Joshrzmeup's
pooch is suffering with fleas and ticks lately. Poor doggy!
