| Welcome to another week of the Round-Up! Some
sad and terrible things going on at Walt Disney World lately,
hopefully that gets cleared up. Lots of pictures this week from
both U.S. resorts so have fun looking at them as they are all
fantastic. And finally, MonorailMan, one of our
Head Minions, turns the big twenty-one so there will be a meet for his
birthday. There is all that and more so enjoy! - hollywood1939
The MiceChat
Gumball Rally Returns
Early Registration Deadline, Dec 15th!
To get the nostalgic price of $19.55 per person, you
and your team need to register before the end of the day on Saturday
December 15th. Afterwards, registration will still be
available at a higher rate. This has become our most requested
event ever and this year spaces are limited.
The MiceChat Gumball
Rally is a simple and fun event which answers the question "How
many attractions can you complete in one day!" If you enjoy
Disneyland and like to ride the attractions, you'll LOVE this
event. All day and family versions of this attraction will both
be available. MiceChat Gumball Rally 2 will be held on January
26th, 2008 Click
