According to a source, Disney will soon announce Toy Story Mania preview dates for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members.  The current dates being targeted are May 10th, 11th and 12th. 

At last week's shareholder meeting of The Walt Disney Company an attendee raised a question of whether worldwide theme park passes had ever been considered.  While such passes are not on the horizon, Bob Iger seemed intrigued by the concept.

Disney has opened a website to market many of the name-brand products now found in its resort hotels.  This venture is operating under the shingle of the Disney Resort Collection.

When I'm not perusing the Disney message boards or working on this website, one of my favorite things to do is collect and read books dedicated to Disney and the Disney theme parks.  Following is a list of some of the wonderful books that have been released throughout 2007.  I own all of these books and the comments are based upon my own experiences.  These books all represent some wonderful gift-giving opportunities for the Disney fan on your shopping list.

The new Disney Vacation Club construction at the Grand Californian Hotel is just one small part of what The Walt Disney Company has planned out west.  Several weeks ago the Board of Directors approved significant funding (reportedly upward of $1 billion) to upgrade the Anaheim theme park complex.  Today TWDC made that investment official and gave us a sneak peek of what this investment will include.
