Disney and Theme Park Roundup

Categories: Weekly Roundup

The round up is choc full of goodness this week. It's a Small World has finally returned to the Disneyland Resort just in time to ring in the Holiday season. It's a good thing too as this "people eater" of an attraction is helping to absorb the record numbers hitting the resort.
