a preview of the Electrical Parade with it's additions, and
this week we have preview videos of the newest fireworks show

also scheduled to be back with several enhancements, but word
broke about a broken neck! We also have several Gumball Rally
Reports still rolling in, and be sure to watch a musical
song and dance wedding proposal, right down the middle of Main
Street USA! ~ Aladdin

Welcome back, MiceAgers! Have you fully recovered
from the Gumball Rally? After an unintentional break last week,
I'm back to showcase some of the ideas and rumors people
are talking about on MiceChat. Please keep posting your ideas
and rumors – we would love to see them here for the next
Round-Up! -Demigod
Could
the Swiss Family Treehouse return?
MiceChatter
Scottk thinks that Tarzan's Treehouse (it was formerly the Swiss Family Treehouse) could
be reverse-imagineered because of a planned remake of the
Swiss Family Robinson movie.
Radical
Adventureland, 3rd Gate reorganization idea
MiceChat minion

Finding
Nemo II -- idea for new ride
MiceChatter
gary94080 feels that the lines
for Finding Nemo are too long and proposes an idea for a different
ride based on the same theme.

should be done with the Golden Gate Bridge at DCA now that
the renovations are underway.

PEZZ
has never been to the parks he reads about in his
sections (although he did drive past WDW once!)
but he dreams about going to all of them some day.
But not on the same day. More like several different
days for each park. Even Hong Kong. Because his
Cantonese is a little rusty… Anyway, while not counting
to a million (and sometimes during), PEZZ likes
to watch the strange and exotic films he rents from
Netflix and is in a perpetual state of applying
for actual employment. He has twin daughters aged
seven years and a lesser-known teenage daughter
in college. She is lesser known by choice and also
the fact that she gives away PEZZ's age as being
something just short of dirt. Lastly, PEZZ enjoys
writing for the Round-Up because he loves to see
his name in print and this gives him the perfect
opportunity to do so under the auspices of being
asked. PEZZ also wrote this sentence simply because
it has the word PEZZ in it – twice. PEZZ would like
to thank all the terrific writers and photographers
who bring WDW, TDR, DLRP, and HKDL to life for us
on MiceChat! He hopes to submit his own Trip Reports
from there soon! |
A
few photos from WDW
Mikeland was also at WDW last weekend and shares
a select few (but impressive!) photos from his trip. If only
we could all get along as well as the ducks and humans in the
swimming pool...
So
many parks, so little time.
Not to be left of the fun in her own back yard, SummerInFL
gives us her take on the hijinx and frivolity that IS WDW Gay
Days! Her camera is quick and her trigger finger deft!
MiceChatters!
Star Wars! Pandas! This report has it all!!
Move
it, Sway it! and Sashay it! Fishbulb's WDW Gay Days 09 Trip
report
Our own impresario of fun - Fishbulb - takes
us along with himself, Dustysage, Rixter,
MickeyMaxx, MonorailMan, Captphoebus
and Doom BGI as they meet with a host of other
MC hotties on their super-spectacular jaunt to WDW! Warning!
Adult beverages will be served! And enjoyed...
Help!
Mother-in-law!!!! [What park to take her to?]
Our favorite comic-booker, Coastierox, is having
family in from overseas and wants to know which Disney Park
to go to? And which one the send the MIL to...
Trip Reports! We have plenty for you this week! Tokyo and Paris
have had some outstanding MiceChat visitors lately who really
know how to write and shoot (photos)! And not to leave out Hong
Kong, we have a discussion on how to improve this little Park
that all starts with a Mansion...~ PEZZ
Paris
- 2012 : Disneyland Paris 20th Anniversary ?
DLRP turning 20 soon? It seems like just yesterday it was taking
it's first little metric steps... DLRP_bopazot
wants to be the first to speculate on what to expect for the
big 2-0. Chime in and keep track of this one!
Tokyo
- A Dutch couple in Tokyo
Netherlander ErikM shares his thoughts on the
Tokyo Disney Resort after returning from a week there! This
text-heavy Report fills in all the details on TDR from the shows
to the desserts! And (as the saying goes) if it ain't Dutch,
it ain't much...
Paris
- New Starbucks in the Disney Village!
Soundtracker brings the news that a new Starbucks
is opening! He even has a photo! Now, this used to not be considered
news - anywhere in the world. But nowadays, it's good to see
a little expansion. Speaking of which, what are the chances
of importing a Tim Hortons from Canada to SoCal?
I don't know about you guys, but I'm STILL
recovering from the MiceChat Gumball Rally 2009. But that isn't
going to stop me from scouring the threads and bring you the latest,
greatest and at least most interesting ones in our quaint little
section. Let's see what's newsworthy this week! ~elly

Andy Castro - Dateline Disneyland
Andy is just back from Florida this week, and still
found time to bring you a super-sized update! He's got an early
look at the brand new 'Magical' fireworks show as well as an
update on all of the Resort's many construction projects from
Disneyland's Astro Orbitor and Cosmic Waves to DCA's Paradise
Bay and Downtown Disney's new tenants. He'll also briefly share
some thoughts on his visit to Walt Disney World in central Florida
and how the Florida resort stacks up against Walt Disney's original
theme park. Don't miss this great update!
Poll:
Up vs. Bolt
jonyyeh posted an interesting poll after reading
one of Al Lutz's Editor's Notes on the site. How do you think
Disney's two most recent animated features stack up against
each other? (Who knew Rhino's biggest fan was Al?)
