This week, the MiceChat Roundup Crew features the story of ROBONICS95 who recently celebrated his birthday aboard the Disney Magic's 10th Anniversary Mexican Cruise and shares his tale on land and sea. All over the boards, people are getting excited for Halloween time at Disneyland and elsewhere.  There are discussions about the big Mickey head pumpkin in Town Square, what Halloween costume you are going to wear this year, and Knotts Scary Farm's Haunt. One MiceChatter has built a haunted ghost town in her front yard, and another seeks advice on finding the best haunts and fun activities this year. There are also many wonderful trip reports from Disneyland, including a report from the Disneyland half marathon race. On the Walt Disney World front, we have news of big travel discounts, video of the parades during a Hurricane, and Tours, Trip Reports, and the legend of Mr. Toad - now ten years gone from Fantasyland. Overseas, Tokyo Disney Sea is celebrating its 7th anniversary, and the Autopia at Disneyland Paris is getting some changes. There is a lot of construction at the Disneyland Resort's Grand Californian Hotel as they build the new Disney Vacation Club wing.  MiceChatter akfandisney brings us photos of what the new rooms will look like. In sad news, Peanuts animator Bill Melendez, who was responsible for the classics A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown has died at the age of 91.  Many share their memories of watching his animated specials on TV as children. And as always, there is much much more in the Round - what to do with a smelly cat, Tales of a taping of the Price is Right TV show, adventures in tea drinking, Chicago, Indiana, Cedar Point . . . It just goes on and on. There is never a need to be board on Round up day.  Dive in to all the Disney, theme park, and vacation discussions HERE [1] ---- [2] _______________________________ Join the MiceChat Daily Email Update - Enter your email address Here: Delivered by FeedBurner [3] _______________________________ [1] http://miceage.micechat.com/mc/mc091008a.htm [2] http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php [3] http://www.feedburner.com

Lots to read about today. We have both Disneyland and Disney World news and rumors for you. Kevin Yee brings a sobering column on what could happen at Disney World if oil prices continue to rise and park attendance drops. Disney could enact a rotating park closure schedule. He also updates us on a beautiful new restaurant at the Contemporary Resort, Star Wars weekend, and Toy Story Mania easter eggs and operational updates. Read Kevin Yee's Disney World Update HERE [1] David "Darkbeer" Michael updates us on what is new at the Disneyland resort. The new monorails have been on site for months now. Red has been operating on the beam without guests for what seems like a very long time. It seems that the Monorails were designed without air conditioning and with windows which don't open far enough to allow for adequate air flow. David also fills us in on Six Flags Magic Mountain, Anaheim Garden Walk, and Universal Studios fire fighters promotion. Read David's Southern California theme park update HERE. [2] [3] ?

Have you ever wondered about the restaurant in Cinderella's castle at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom? I've tried to get a walk in table almost every time I've visited the park, but you really need a reservation to get in. Trouble is that I almost never plan my trips early enough to snag a reservation. So, when I ran across this balanced review of Cinderella's Royal Table, I knew I needed to read it and find out what I've been missing. SunnerInFl [1] reports on a princess, some mice, a fairy godmother, good food, and . . . a really big check!
