Chip and Co. Disney Week In Review for Feb 21st

Yes, it’s time for another edition of the Chip and Co. Disney Week in Review. We take you from the shipyards of Germany onward to Australia and all through the many Divisions of the Walt Disney Company. All of the News that you need to know! As Peter Pan said: “Here we goooooooo!”

• It’s not sea worthy yet, but work is underway on the Disney Cruise Line’s latest ship called the Disney Fantasy. The keel laying ceremony was held at the Meyer Werft shipyards, and you can be there by clicking here.
• Do you love video games? How about Disney video games about Cars 2? Good, because Disney Interactive just announced a cool new game that will take you into the world of high speed racing and espionage! Disney Pixar’s Cars 2 The Video Game is awaiting drivers now!
• You can now enter Disney Parks Memories Sweepstakes for a chance to win a 4-person family vacation to a Disney Resort each week in February 2011. But that means that time is running out! Enter. Enter now!
• Guests have had so much fun at ElecTRONica, the grid will be open all summer long at Disney California Adventure park! See what all the fun is about at the DCA!
• Get set to rev those engines because Mack The Transporter steamed into Docklands, Melbourne this past week for the official launch of the Disney/Pixar CARS Truck Tour. Filled with amazing interactive games for all ages, this road trip is visiting all of the hot spots in Australia. I wonder how much a plane ticket is to Australia?
• Disney Cruise Line has announced a new On-line Check-in process. But it’s how they did it that got us excited! A really Goofy Short patterned after the old Sport Goofy Shorts. To good to miss!
• The sky’s the limit as DisneyToon Studios proudly announces PLANES – a spectacular, full-length CG animated comedy action adventure movie for everyone set high above the world of CARS. It doesn’t take off until 2013, but it looks well worth the wait!
• Get ready to rumble! Sorry, wrong sport! Get ready to race at D23’s Great Disney Scavenger Hunt -WDW.  Hundreds of teams. Four theme parks. Two days. One amazing hunt. We’ll see you there!
• What do you get when you combine themed dance parties, a fireworks spectacular and your favorite Disney attractions? Disney Grad Nite! Get all of the dates so that you can plan your special night early!
• Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs gave an update on the growth at Disney’s Parks & Resorts. That seems fitting.
• Since 2008, a specially installed time-lapse camera has been observing the construction work on Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, in Ko Olinia, Hawai`i. Want to see how things are going at the DVC’s latest offering? Click here and your journey begins!
• Fifteen new panelists hailing from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom are members of the 2011 Walt Disney World Moms Panel. Of course, even Dads can join! We can’t wait to hear all of their tips and hints about all-things Disney!

Chip and Company had some great Views to share this week as well, and here are just three of the ones that you won’t want to have missed:

• If you’re always on the look-out for free fun at Walt Disney World, it’s time you discovered something very cool at Epcot’s World Showcase: The Kim Possible Adventure. Not just for kids, it could just be the next great discovery you make at a Disney Park!
• If you’ve got young children, watch the Disney Channel, or pay any attention to Disney websites, you have probably noticed a lot of hoopla over Disney Junior. It was worth the wait, as this article shows.
• Interested in the new Disney film Gnomeo and Juliet? Check out this Fan Review.

Thanks for stopping by and we’ll see you next week for an all-new edition of the Chip and Co. Week In Review!
