Fall is sneaking up on us folks!! Even here in southern Arizona the temps are all the way down to the mid 90’s so it’s time to dig out the winter coats and snow shovels. Only kidding, I’ve only seen snow here 3 times in 27 years!! Enough about here, let’s look at those places we all love to visit in our week in review, the Disney venues!! This is just a sampling of what we present every day so be sure to stop by Chip and Company as often as you are able to see just how much information is available.
- We all know we can’t be at Walt Disney World all of the time but for the rest of this week, our fearless leader Chip will be at his favorite place streaming and tweeting and Facebooking – Oh My!! So if you want to join him, feel free to Follow Chip and Co on Vacation at Disney World. You can find out how by reading the article.
- One of our favorite events at Walt Disney World is Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and we attend every time we are there during the fall. If you need specifics you can find them in Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Returns Sept. 13 with 23 Nights of Halloween Fun so check it out and have fun!!
- Anonymouse is doing her/his best to find out if anything will be happening at the Magic Kingdom (or anywhere else) on October 1st for the 40th anniversary. So far there has been some teasing so if you want to find out what we know you should read Disney Confidential – Special Event planned for Disney World 40th Anniversary to see what, if anything is planned.
- The Florida Project event is finished for this year and a summary of the highlights is listed in Highlights from The Florida Project Event at Epcot. Take some time to look it over to see what’s coming.
- I think we are all aware of the fun aspects of the Walt Disney Company but I’m not sure we all realize that they are also a company with a conscience and are interested in the health and welfare of future generations. Yopu can find out about the role Disney Consumer Products plays in Disney Makes Healthy Living Fun With New ‘D-Lightful Living’ Program To Help Families Make Better Health & Nutrition Choice so give it a read and see where they are heading!!
- Everything can’t be bubbly and cheerful here because sometimes Disney announces things we don’t all agree with. It is now happening at Epcot ant the particulars can be found here in No More “Opening Ceremony” at Epcot? Are you happy or sad about these events?
- For our October travelers (me included) it’s important that we know what is and is not going to be available for our visits. So here is the Disneyland Refurbishment Schedule October 2011and the Disney World Refurbishment Schedule October 2011 so you can see what will be open/closed for your trip.
- I think we all knew that Cars 2 was a big hit but I wonder how many of us realized that Disney/Pixar’s “Cars 2″ Ranks #1 at the Domestic Box Office Among This Year’s Animated Titles, you might be surprised at the particulars.
- It’s not just Walt Disney World that goes all out for Halloween, but our friends at the Disneyland Resort have their own set of festivities. Disneyland may not be the same size and scope as Walt Disney World, but believe me they know how to do it right. The specifics can be found in Treats, Not Tricks, at Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland Park so feel free to check it out.
- As we have mentioned, the new Aulani resort in Hawaii is up and running and people staying there are finding out that the New Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, Is a Family Paradise with a Touch of Disney Magic in Hawaii. Read the article and see if you don’t agree that what they have to offer is something special.
- Remember when I mentioned above that the Walt Disney Company has a conscience, well they have done it once again, this time in the Arts. You can find out exactly what they have done when you look at Walt Disney World Earns Top Honors for Supporting the Arts for their story.
As I always say, we at Chip and Company are not just a News source, we are also delighted to have our staff of incredible writers offer their Views and also Helpful Hints to go along with the news. Here is a sample of this week’s opinion pieces.
- Aljon, our Star Wars guru, is always on the watch for those things that appeal to Trekkies everywhere. This week he fills us in on the fact that StarWars.com Gets a Facelift and he lets us know What and Why!!
- In this week’s Wednesday With Walt article, Brenda has taken a bit of a different approach and looks at how the genius of this man has impacted her and others. Check out Wednesday with Walt: Our Collective Tribute to get her impressions.
- If the Disney Dining Plann doesn’t meet your needs there is an alternative designed for Passholders (Annual, Seasonal, and Florida) to receive dining discounts. Tables in Wonderland is a program the gets you a 20% discount at many of Walt Disney World’s finest dining locations. See where you can eat at this discount when you look at Mike’s Walt Disney World’s Tables in Wonderland Dining Locations. It’s a great program, we use it every visit.
That’s all for this week folks. As I mentioned, be sure to visit us often at Chip and Company for even more news and views. Don’t Forget that we also have lots of giveaways too!!! As always, enjoy your visit to Walt Disney World!!
