Mickey Comes First
Pirate and Princess Party, is now Mickey’s Pirate and Princess Party. Attendance has been quite low compared to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.
Disney is trying to get more people to attend the Pirates & Princess Party thus they added the name “MICKEY’S” to the title.
Tomorrowland Speedway
The Tomorrowland “Indy” Speedway will be dropping the word “Indy” from it’s name. The sponsorship deal has ended. All the signs are in the process of being removed, including the decals on the vehicles.

SeaWorld Orlando-owner Busch Entertainment Corp. announced this morning that it will build a mammoth new resort in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates city that is rapidly emerging as one of Orlando’s biggest rivals on the global tourism stage.
Busch and UAE-based developer Nakheel will together build a SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove and Aquatica water park on a man-made island in Dubai. The resort will also include hotels, spas, shops and restaurants and the first phase will open in 2012. The island will even be re-shaped in the form of a killer whale.

Disney Dining Plan Changes…
I have seen many discussions about the changes. Most being upset about the gratuity no longer being included.
I still see a value in the DDP, if the family is average to big eaters. There is no way you can eat at Disney for such a low pp cost, not even at McDonalds. Not to mention being able to eat at places that you wouldn’t ordinarallyeat at, due to the cost. If your family tends to eat like a bird. Then DDP, even with gratuities included is not for you.
What do you think?
New Reedy Creek fire station at WDW
The fire department that serves Walt Disney World, Reedy Creek, is preparing to replace its first fire station, which serves the Magic Kingdom and the resorts that surround it, with a new one designed and built with Bahamian architecture.
Both stations are on a public but little-used road that swings around behind the Magic Kingdom, connecting the Contemporary Resort with the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The switch could come as early as this weekend, if a few construction details are finished in time.
