Oh boy! July is here and although we may be melting, the calendar promises cooler months ahead for us Northern Hemisphere folk. We've had a recent flurry of announcements regarding Halloween festivities locally and I'm sure more are coming for the other parks abroad. Meanwhile MiceChatters send in reports from around the globe and ask the question, "Should I use 'Urban Decay' make-up?" - Fishbulb
