From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks
Florida's theme parks may be in the middle of Halloween events, but soon the ghosts, goblins, and zombies will find their way back into the prop closets, and the tinsel, garland, and elves will be dusted off for Christmas and holiday events.

Over the (Jungle) River and Through the Woods
All four Disney World parks, as well as the entire resort, will be decked out for the season. Read about Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Epcot's Candlelight Processional, and other special events in my Christmas at Disney World 2011 overview.

How the Grinch Stole Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando will celebrate the holidays as well with its Macy's Holiday Parade and Grinchmas events. See what Universal and SeaWorld Orlando have in store at my profile of 2011 Christmas Events at Florida Theme Parks.

Kinda Tame, Actually
While checking out Screemfest, the Halloween event at Canobie Lake Park, I also got a chance to ride Untamed, the new roller coaster that the New Hampshire park debuted this season. Despite the name, I was a bit underwhelmed by the relatively timid ride. Known as a compact Euro Fighter, the coaster is a smaller and toned-down production model of larger Euro Fighters such as Dare Devil Dive, which opened at Six Flags Over Georgia earlier this year. Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled that my hometown park finally delivered a new coaster, its first one in 24 years. But it would have been nicer if Untamed was wilder. Read my mini-review of Canobie Lake Park's Untamed.

The Link Between Steve Jobs and Walt Disney
They were two extraordinary men. As a reader (perfectly) posted on my site, they were two dreamers and two gamblers who defied all the naysayers and changed the world. And they did it with a mouse. Read more about The Link Between Steve Jobs and Walt Disney .
