It was a week of tremendous change and announcements.  Today is the last day for Disneyland President, Ed Grier, his replacement still hasn't been announced.  Universal Studios ousted their two top bosses.  And perhaps the biggest news was the sale of Busch Entertainment (Sea World, Busch Gardens, and a total of 10 family entertainment locations across the United States), to Equity firm, Blackstone - which  already owns Legoland, Madame Tussauds, Merlin Entertainment, and a 50% stake in the Universal Orlando parks.  Change has also come to Downtown Disney in Anaheim California with the addition of a new shop, Ridemakerz, and a newly expanded Little Miss Missmatched.  In the park, progress on returning the magic to the Magic Shop, Princess and the Frog promotion and more.  Join us for news, photos, and commentary from Disneyland and Southern California attractions in today's In the Parks Theme Park Blog.
