All of the Disneyland news came from this past Tuesday’s Disneyland Park Update, and links to the various information reported can be found there.
In The Walt Disney Company news, additional related information includes How Hong Kong Disneyland celebrates the Chinese New Year and general information about Hong Kong Disneyland.

Our Tip of the Week is to use your cell phone to call the WDW Dining Line (407-WDW-DINE) while you’re standing in line at an attraction to make dining reservations on the fly.

Our featured topic this week was a discussion of the Cinderella Castle suite
and the Pirate & Princess Party at Walt Disney World. Mark talked a little
bit about the tour and the Party, and we also played audio from the castle
tour that Mark took, as well as two interviews that Mark did: one with Liliana
Lorenzo, coordinator for the party, and one with Laura Offerdahl, producer
for the party’s special parade and fireworks. A special park guide page is
available for the Pirate & Princess
Party, and Mark plans to write a story about the castle suite in the near
future. Here’s a look at the display
case in the upstairs lobby of the castle suite.

This week’s Magical Moment came from Jeri Stodola, who experienced some major magic surrounding a problematic reservation at Victoria & Albert’s.
