Halloween is just one day away and that means huge crowds for the Disneyland Resort all weekend as guests scramble to see the Halloween Screams fireworks, Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, and Mickey's Trick or Treat Party before the holiday is over.  That also means parking in remote lots if you arrive late to the resort.  David gives you the tips you need if you plan to visit Disneyland this weekend.  He also fills us in on the newly reopened Magic Shop on Main Street USA, automated stroller rental, an extra night just added to Knot's Halloween Haunt, and lots of great tips and photos from Disneyland.

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
