Hi all, I'm going to start trying to do a post like this fairly often with Character and other big Disney News from around the web... hopefully at least weekly but maybe more often.

Inside the Magic reported that Phineas, Ferb, and Agent P were at the Montebello, CA Disney Store earlier this month... this was the first newly designed "Imagination Park" Disney Store to open... really hope that Phineas, Ferb, and Agent P start meeting at a park sometime soon and there continue to be rumors that they will be in the parks sometime this year or early next!

The Character Photo Blog reports that while the Winnie the Pooh and Friends show did not return to DLP for this summer it should be back for the Halloween Parties and the Christmas season which is good news!

They, along with DLRP Today, and others report that Dr Facilier will be a part of Disneyland Paris' Halloween parties!  There have also been reports that he would be out for WDW's Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween parties... at least for the Villian's Mix and Mingle Show!  Would be great to have him out since he has only been seen in the Tiana's Showboat Jubilee in WDW and CA so far and in general wasn't available for meets.  The promotional photos have also appeared: here, here, and here

Disney announced at Comic Con that there would be a new Haunted Mansion movie directed by Guillermo del Toro, this new version would be a complete departure from the Eddie Murphy comedy movie and instead would be a more scary/dark version and reportedly will be told from the viewpoint of the mysterious Hat Box Ghost.

Disney and More reports on more signs of the as of yet unannounced DLP Studios Ratatouille attraction is a reality.  The latest news focuses on two photos of the area outside of the soon to open Toy Story Playland.  In what appears to be one of the entrances/exits to TSP there is a very Parisian looking arch that looks to have an image of Gusteau on it... all rumors of the details of this ride sound very interesting and exciting!
