- Bob Logan has some amazing up-close portraits of the audio-animatronics from Disneyland’s Pirates Of The Caribbean attraction.
- Elisabeth reports back from her trip to Disney World as part of the Disney Mom’s Panel. She dishes on the one thing that really excited her… the food. Come on, I want to hear about Toy Story Midway Mania, which she also got to tour.
- Rebekah at LaughingPlace.com has shared her impressions of the 10th Anniversary events at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
- In a very timely release LaughingPlace.com’s Disney Magazine, Tales From The LaughingPlace, is nearly ready to mail issue #12 which focuses on Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Buy it one issue at a time, or buy a four-issue subscription and get free shipping.
- “The Pixar Touch: The Making of The Company” is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. Didier Ghez has an interview with the author David A. Price.
- The Maker Faire next weekend in San Mateo, CA is sponsored by Walt Disney Imagineering. I wonder what they’re looking for.
- Consumerist reports in on a promotional deal from Disney that’s gone bad. To get five-free blue-ray discs you had to purchase a qualifying player. Now some consumers are getting the run around from Buena Vista Home Entertainment.
- Finally, Michael Eisner is going to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame tomorrow. Ugh. Too soon. I don’t think enough water has passed under the bridge since he nearly drove The Walt Disney Company into the ground.

Thanks for the link! I wrote about our tour of Toy Story Mania in this post- http://table4five.net/2008/04/23/disney-day-two-part-one-the-day-of-big-surprises/
It is going to be a great attraction!
Remember that Eisner not only has a long and storied history with Disney, but all of that time with ABC (pre-Disney) and a significant run at Paramount, too.
Heck, if he had as much to do with getting “Airplane!” made as his book claims, then he should get a star for that alone!
Oh, but I still think there’s one person who should no longer be snubbed when it comes to getting a star!

Thanks for the link!
my understanding is that when you get a star it is because someone has paid for it. Sometimes it is a company promoting a current project, a fan club, the person themself. I wonder whi is paying for Mr Eisner’s?
Please. Sure, Eisner needed to go but to deny that he didn’t make positive and trans formative changes at TWDC is just sheer stupidity.
Alas, I forgot whose blog I was reading!
I think you’re reading things into this post that just aren’t there. I didn’t say he shouldn’t get a star. Just that it was too soon after the disastrous second half of his reign at the Mouse House. Is the glass always half-empty for you?
