I’m just reading this from other sources, but I wanted to give everyone a heads-up on some of the reports racing around the Web today. The Disney Gossip blog is reporting that plans for Avatar land may be on hold. Also, could this mean that a planned Australia section of AK could move to the [...]
Here’s another guest blog by my nine-year-old daughter, Katie. When she got home from school I told her I had just read that the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure was being replaced by a similar Phineas and Ferb experience.

I hit a point each morning where I feel an undeniable pull to the south. I need to be at Walt Disney World. Yeah, pretty much every day. For those few minutes, I find myself daydreaming about where I would be. I don’t put any forethought into it, I just think: “Where am I at [...]
