| It's MiceChat Round-Up time and
boy do we have
topics to discuss. Summer Blighttastic is in full swing at the
Disneyland Resort and things there are crazier than ever. We have Stitch's last hurrah
documented at Walt Disney World and there are more trip reports from oversees. Farrah Fawcett
and Michael Jackson died on the same day and the boards discuss them both. But don't let that stop you from reading
about the O-PIN house event in the collectables section. ENJOY!

flynnibus' WDW 09 Visit - The Cherry Picker Edition
flynnibus writes "On pretty much a whim,
I decided to take the family to WDW at the tail end of a business
trip. The kids hadn't been since 06, and this would be my first
trip back since visiting DL back in June 07. Having had DL as
my last Disney trip (I was also in WDW in March 07) I had a
new appreciation for some of the DL vs WDW comments as DL was
the freshest in my mind. I actually found myself disoriented
once trying to find BuzzLightyear because of it! I didn't take
tons of photos, but hopefully some of the inline commentary
you'll find interesting.."
