Hi all,

It has been really quiet o nthe Disney Character news as late, but I have been searching around and have a few small items to share today.

The Disney Parks Blog announced the dates for Star Wars Weekends next year. These events are always ridiculously popular, and are filled with some excellent Star Wars characters, as well as Disney Characters in Star Wars outfits.

Dug and Russell are now meeting in Disney's Animal Kingdom, near the Flame Tree BBQ.

I have also heard a rumour - and this really is jus tthat right now - that Dumbo may appear maybe in Aniaml Kingdom (although could be elsewhere) for the early part of next year while his ride relocates across the Magic Kingdom. This is certainly a viable rumour since they did the same thing back in 2005.

Lastly for WDW, the Pooh characters are now meeting in Town Square, and not Fantasyland.

Over in California, Loren has been keeping us up to date with all the happenings there. Be sure to check out last week's and this week's posts.

The Disney Parks Blog also announced a brand new show coming to the Disney Fantasy, called Wishes. It looks pretty neat, so we look forward to hearing more about that one as it develops.

Finally, don't forget to check out Part Five of my Grand Circle Tour of Disneyland Paris, which was about Frontierland. Of course, it features some of our favourite friends along the way!

Jon and I are off to Disneyland Paris this weekend again, to check out the Christmas Season, and will be back at our desks Monday.

Have a great weekend all!

Dan.
