Chip & Company Week in Review, July 4, 2011

Happy Independence Day, America! To all of our troops, a special thank you to each and every one of you for all of the sacrifice that you put yourselves and your families through, so that all of us can enjoy the freedoms we have. Thank you.  In today’s edition of the Chip & Company Week in Review, we are going to take a look at some of the news items that came up during the week. In addition to our news, though, our writers share their views on various Disney subjects, so we’ll take a look at some of those as well!

• Did you read Chip’s post about the new Star Tours Intergalactic destinations on Disney.com? If not, check it out! 
• Our writer Michele shares a passion of mine. She loves looking at vintage photos of the way the parks used to be. Check out her post with some vintage photos of the Contemporary Resort! 
• An important thing to remember about Disney World during the summer is the heat and humidity. Chip brings us his special post on surviving the summer heat.
• Did you hear about the new Pirate Adventure coming to Disney World? If not, check it out here.
• ABC Family is often bringing us unique shows and movies. For those of us that are parents, like myself, there is a special movie coming out on July 17^th called “Cyberbully”. This is an important topic, and you might want to check it out.
• Disney is releasing “Muppets: The Green Album” on August 23^rd. Check it out here and find out the tracks that are going to be part of the “album”!
• Congratulations to Mary Renner Beech, the new vice president and general manager in charge of Toys and Social Expressions for Disney Consumer Products.
• There is a new Disney Comics app for the iPad, with over 80 years of Disney comics. Sounds really cool, check it out here!
• Check out the new Adventureland Suite at the Disneyland Hotel! To quote Dude Crush, “Sweeeeeettttttttt!”
• If you are at Disneyland today, make sure you check out the special Independence Day shows, and let us know how they are! 

But remember, Chip & Company isn’t just news, we’ve also got great writers who share their views on things around the Parks. Here is just a sampling of what we have to offer!

• One of our new writers, Wendy, talks to us about her thoughts on how to choose your Walt Disney World resort.
• Do you have a passion for Disney and writing? If so, then maybe you should consider becoming a guest writer for Chip & Company?
• Savannah, like most of us, is a huge fan of staying on Disney property when she visits. Take a look at her top 5 Disney World resorts. Do they match up with your favorites?
• Lastly, my friend Ken is back writing with us, and he brought us his top 5 attractions for seniors at Animal Kingdom. I don’t agree with number 5 on his list, but that’s just me! Welcome back, Ken!

I hope you all had a terrific July 4th, and that you have a great week ahead.  Stay tuned to Chip & Company throughout the week for more news and views stories!  Also, don’t forget to check us out on Facebook and Twitter!  For Facebook, if we can get up to 5000 followers bu July 31st , Chip is going to give away a $100 gift card!  Good luck, and suggest us to all of your friends!
