Did you hear the news? Shanghai Disneyland has finally been announced . . . and to honor the occasion, MiceChat now sports a fancy new section on the site for it.  Meanwhile, Christmas just couldn't wait this year and made an early appearance at Disneyland even before Halloween was over.  Disneyland Paris has a new lake of fireworks. A Roger Rabbit sequel appears to be in the works and is discussed on the boards.  D23 is offering a Treasures of the Archives 54 disk set.  Plus tons of news, photos, trip reports, ideas, and more.  The Round Up brings you all the best links to help you stay in the Disney loop.  Give us a minute and we'll give you a week!

Let's face it, you are here because you can't get enough Disney news and rumors.  Luckily, MiceChat's team of reporters have gathered up the very best news, rumors, discussions, and trip reports into one fantastic roundup!  There was one undeniable story this week, as Disney hiked prices significantly in both California and Florida in the middle of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression.  From that heavy topic, we lighten things up with some fantastic video of Disneyland in the 1960's and a video recreation of Big Thunder Mountain's "Goat Trick".   On our Disney World boards, folks are perturbed by changes coming to the already confusing dining plan - what do you think?  And, like candy that you just can't stop eating, we have wonderful trip reports from Disneyland, Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, Hong Kong, and Disneyland Paris.  All this and dozens of news links, information items, photos reports, armchair Imagineering, and tons of fun.  Jump on in, the Roundup's fun!

It's time for the weekly Disney and Theme Park news link roundup.  Every week, we feature top news, photos, discussions, tips, and ideas from Disney and other theme parks everywhere.

Friday's photo tour of Disneyland: Miley Cyrus sweet 16 party, Tinkerbell's Teapot, the new Fortuosity Shop on Main Street USA, paving and construction at Disney's California Adventure and Disneyland, and lot's of wonderful pictures of what's new at the Disneyland Resort. Miley Cyrus had a blowout birthday Party at Disneyland on Sunday.  The park was closed to day guests by 5pm and converted into a purple party palace for Ms. Cyrus.  At midnight, many local residents in Orange County were awakened by Miley's birthday fireworks. Tinkerbelle's new home continues its speedy construction.  She'll be living in a giant teapot located next to the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters attraction at Disneyland.  Throughout Tomorrowland and New Orleans Square, pavement and pavers are being torn up and replaced.  On Main Street, a new shop has replaced the former New Century Time Pieces shop which was a favorite amoung fans.  The new shop is a fresh addition to the street and richly designed.  Be sure to catch Andy Castro's detailed description and photos.

The Summer has officially ended at the Disneyland Resort, and this gives the parks just enough time to start some major refurbishment projects before the holiday crowds descend on the resort like a swarm of locusts.  Tomorrowland and New Orleans Square contain the bulk of the walls at the moment, but they are about to spread to other areas as well. A curious change is taking place in what was once the Little Mermaid's meet and greet area near Buzz Lightyear in Tomorrowland. The beautiful garden and thematic elements reminiscent of an undersea garden have been cleared out.  The rock wall and scallop shell that acted as Ariel's throne have been removed, exposing a concrete box.  Soon this area will be home to Tinkerbell and her fairy friends. Halloween continues to slowly make its way into the parks, as Dateline Disneyland captures in beautiful pictures of the Main Street shop windows. And as always, Andy Castro brings us glorious shots from all over the Disneyland Resort.  As a bonus, many of this week's pictures were submitted by Disneyland Blogger David Michael of the Monday in the Parks Blog [1]. You can find the entire Dateline Disneyland photo update of what's new at the Disneyland Resort HERE.

Join us as Weekend Update Editor, Rixter, takes us on another photo safari of theme parks from around the world. This week, TDLFAN takes us to Tokyo Disneyland's 25 Anniversary celebration and Hong Kong Disneyland's new It's a Small World attraction. MiceChat reader, Aimster, sent in some lovely pictures from Disney World - including some really good shots of the Pop Century resort. SummerInFl shows off her celebrity talents with close up shots of the dashing Prince Caspian, Darth Vader, and a host of characters from the Disney Dreams Come True parade. Denise "nbodyhome" Preskitt of www.mousesteps.com [1] has been following the construction of the Animal Kingdom Lodge and pool at the Caribbean Beach Resort but also chimes in with some fantastic pictures from Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival. And finally, Sir Clinksalot brings us the surprisingly interesting photos of Hershey Park [2]. Come for the photos, stay for the chocolate. The Weekend Update is always a pleasant diversion, and this week's extended holiday edition is no exception. If you've got interesting tourist photos (from any attraction world wide) we'd love to see them, and if we can use them, you might just find yourself in a future Weekend Update.
