A Fool in the Virtual Magic Kingdom

The master plan is brilliant: Get folks to the parks. Then make sure they don’t forget about the parks when they return home. Along the way, a young generation will start thinking that Disney is cool again, and that’s crucial, since rival film studios are wresting the animation crown from Disney. At The Moteley Fool… Read More »A Fool in the Virtual Magic Kingdom

Disney World & Hurricane Dennis

Looks like Disney World and Central Florida’s other attractions will escape the brunt of Hurricane Dennis. We’re officially outside the cone of probability and Dennis is two days away. That said, we’re on its eastern side and the landing zone keeps moving east. Plus storms this size do tend to create their own weather like… Read More »Disney World & Hurricane Dennis

London

To everyone hurt and affected by the explosions in London please know you’re in our thoughts today. Today should have been a day of great joy, having just been awarded the summer games, instead hate and fear mongers have taken advantage of you to practice their trade. Despite best efforts of terrorists of any sort,… Read More »London

Friendly Harry Potter Reminder

Just a friendly reminder that you have to order from Amazon by July 11th to get opening day delivery of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I’ve ordered mine. Of course, if you order it from the above link, I get a few pennies which helps offset the costs of running this site.

Michael thinks that’s why everybody likes him. In fact, he’s written a book about it and… Read More »Eisner admits he’s no Hemingway

Digital Disney

LaughingPlace.com has just debuted a new column by Vince Matthews "Digital Disney". As the name implies it will cover video games, mmorgs, online gaming, and more. In his first column Vince explains why Tron was not responsible for killing 2D animation (I think the Butler did it) and explores VMK, the new Disney themepark based… Read More »Digital Disney

Behind the scenes look at ABC Family

I’ve been reading Stewarts "Disney War" and am endlessly fascinated by the politicing and manuvering that goes on among the executive level players. But the fact is the people who make Disney what is is are its employees. Michael, over at Cruft, works for the Mouse, but normally doesn’t post about his job. He recently… Read More »Behind the scenes look at ABC Family
