 | Disney recently opened Aulani in Hawaii. And I was there for the opening. I'll have plenty to share with you over the next few weeks starting with this week's summary and review of the resort. Also this week, I ventured to my local park to check out the Halloween hoopla. | |
Disney's Real Polynesian Resort
 Aulani, Disney's posh new resort on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, is something of a departure -- a delightful departure -- for the Mouse House. It's a resort with no theme park attached. The hotel is the destination. That doesn't mean it isn't filled with Disney whimsy and storytelling. In this case, however, the story isn't about princesses or pirates. It's about Hawaii. Read my review of Aulani.

| A Grave Situation at Canobie Lake Park
 Like most amusement parks this time of year, Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire offers a Halloween event. While it can't compare to huge-budget presentations like Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights, the small park's Screemfest nonetheless offers plenty of holiday fear with roaming characters, loads of decorations, and five walk-through mazes.

| A Mouse's House is His Castle
 It was 40 years ago today (well, actually last Saturday) that Mickey and the gang lowered the drawbridge on Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom. The Florida resort didn't have a blowout celebration planned (as it did for its 25th anniversary or as Disneyland did for its 50th birthday bash), but it did present a special character-packed parade, a sing-along stage show, and an anniversary-themed fireworks show. Read more about Disney World's anniversary.
