Weekend Update peeks into the summer scrapbook and comes up with this amazing report from all corners of the Disney globe. Things get wet at Tokyo Disneyland as the repeatedly drench the crowd in tons of water, on purpose!  At Disney World's Polynesian Resort life is relaxed and luxurious.  Disneyland Paris was built to be the ideal Disney park and we look for the signs of proof.  And just to show the other side of the coin, we finish with photos from a much more careless than carefree Orange County Fair - if you've got the stomach and the nerve for it.  Don't miss out on one of the real gems of MiceChat, the Weekend Update!
