Welcome! Today, teams from all around are participating in our latest event, the Gumball Rally! The goal: To ride as many attractions in Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure as possible. The teams started fresh and early this morning... Sorry for the gap in coverage. The laptop ran out of juice.

Topics have turned to the spooky side of life on MiceChat.  As we usher in October, the MiceEars crew has assembled a great listing of top Disney, Theme Park, and Vacation topics, rumors, news, and events for us all to enjoy.   Dark, wet, creepy, a tour of the Paris catacombs [1] are a great way for us to kick off Halloween month.  Over 40 MiceChatters kicked off Halloween last weekend with a trip to Knott's Scary Farm's Halloween Haunt.  Don't miss all the foggy fun in the Fishbulb and PirateMunkee trip reports from the big event.  And if you are looking or something a little less scary, the boards are filled with trip reports of the theme parks world wide in their Halloween finest.   There is also a lot of news and information being discussed this week.  Disney's California Adventure's new preview center is about to open and gets an official name "Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar."  Pleasure Island's clubs have closed, but most of the sadness is reserved for the legendary Adventurers Club which was amazing in its detail, theme, entertainment, and comedy. There were many MiceChatters in attendance for the final kungaloosh.  We can only hope that Disney finds a new home for the club very soon, it would be a shame for such a beloved and unique attraction to be lost forever.   But the Adventurers Club wasn't the only thing we lost this week.  Paul Newman, great actor and humanitarian, passed away this week.  Hard Rock Park has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.   There are also some great trip reports and news from the off-shore parks this week.  Lots of great pictures of the Halloween decorations in Paris.  Trip reports and merchandise in Hong Kong.  And another amazing trip report of the Tokyo Disneyland resort.   Don't miss what is sure to be a fun MiceChat meet this Saturday for Disneyland's Gay Days - all of our meets and events are always listed in MiceChat's "Meets and Events [2]" section.   And we wrap up today's update with a heartfelt congratulations to MiceChatters LuvsLilo and MiceChat Roundup co-Editor Hollywood1939 on the birth of their twin daughters.  We are a very proud family of chatters and are thrilled to welcome our newest MiceBabies.   As always, the roundup contains many more items that we have room to print here.  Catch the entire MiceChat Weekly Roundup of Disney, Theme Park, and Vacation news, information, rumors, and pictures HERE [3].           [1] http://micechat.com/forums/non-disney-theme-parks-vacation-locations/104969-catacombs-paris.html [2] http://micechat.com/forums/meets-events-scheduling/ [3] http://miceage.micechat.com/mc/mc100108a.htm

i've got something fun for you today.  From time to time, we'll feature videos of interest from the Disney parks, Universal Studios, and vacation locations everywhere! This week, we have favorite videos from the MiceChat archive.  Disneyland MiceChat meets, DiveQuest and Segway tours of Epcot at Walt Disney World, even Goofy playing Dance Dance Revolution at the Starcade in Disneyland. The videos will play back to back (but can take a bit of time to load on some connections) if you'd like to navigate the videos, use the arrows on either side of the window (they pop up when you hover over the sides of the video player). If you have Disney or other fun vacation videos you'd like to share in a future update, please contact Dustysage at dustysage@aol.com. Have a great day everyone! -Dusty

This week, we attempt to get to the bottom of what's going on with Monorail Blue, the 2nd of the new monorails to arrive at the resort, and when it may begin carrying guests. WheresMickey started a discussion asking for your funny theme park pictures. At Disney World, The Country Bears are set for a big rehab. The Swan and Dolphin hotels have been voted "Best Resort." #1 Goofy wants to know what the difference between the two Mission Space options are. We also have trip reports and information about Maui, Northern California, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Paris, and a great deal for people who want to visit Universal Japan. And of course, you'll be able to discuss the potential impact on Shamu that the sale of Busch may have on the Busch Entertainment theme parks (Sea World, Busch Gardens, Aquatica, Discovery Bay, Sesame Place, and Water Parks). If you've been to the movies this week, we'd love to hear your reviews. Journey to the Center of the Earth and Hell Boy II are but two of the many movies currently being discussed.

The Dream House and Midway Mania have both opened and there is no shortage of opinions (and photos) at MiceChat. The French Market is getting a new healthier menu. How to beat the heat at the parks. Is Wall-E the frontrunner to replace Honey I shrunk the Audience in Tomorrowland? Lot's of news about all kinds of things from the Sky Cabin getting stuck mid flight at Knotts to Tinkerbell getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Wall-E poster from ACME Archives Direct [1] Camp Rock had a record Disney Channel debut. Disneyland Dream Wedding pictures (much love to Anders and Sunnygirl). But perhaps the ultimate question of the week (in my best Barbara Wawa voice) if you were a Care Bear, which one would you be?
