EDITOR'S PICK

Shanghai
Disneyland is a go!
NY TIMES -"LOS ANGELES After
a courtship of about 20 years, the Walt Disney Company has won
approval from the central government of China to build a Disneyland-style
theme park in Shanghai, Robert A. Iger, Disneys chief
executive, said Tuesday. The agreement for a Shanghai Disneyland
is a landmark deal that carries enormous cultural and financial
implications. Analysts estimate the initial park not
including hotels and resort infrastructure will cost
$3.5 billion, making it one of the largest-ever foreign investments
in China."

This week, we have a few questions about the Parks. Is there
more room? Will you go to the big 4-Oh? And can you make like
Walt and Mickey?? ~ PEZZ
Is
there any land left?
Airamerica took some time off from flying
around to wonder if WDW has any room left for expansion? From
the looks of things, the usable landmass is pretty well taken
up. See the responses to this query and some of the opinions
too!
Will
you go to the 40th anniversary?
Stitchy likes to look ahead and wonder about
the big 40th anniversary bash at WDW in 2011. Are any MiceChatters
planning on digging in to that birthday cake? At least it
will answer the question of what we'll celebrate...
Can
you imitate this photo? then Post it HERE??
PanTheMan found a photo of your favorite
statue being imitated by a couple of happy-go-lucky guests.
Do you have one you took yourself? Show it off here!

Bonfire Spectacular Fireworks !!! Lake Disney !
There's a giant floating bonfire on Lake Disney and they shoot
fireworks around it? If you can't make it to Paris, these photos

show!
What
should be built at Shanghai Disneyland?
Now that the park is a go what should go into it? Should it
be full of franchise rides? Should it have Original attractions?
A little of both?
