Reported by our big brother site, WDW News Today:

WDCC Simba Spring Premiere Event

Mischievous Simba is well aware that as the son of Mufasa, he’s next in line to rule over all the other critters as king. In a wild-and-wooly celebration of his fantastic future, Simba even imagines what he’ll look like with a grown-up mane by popping his head through a wreath of fire-red blossoms. Plussed with a pewter tail, the lovable cub gains the lion’s share of praise as our Spring Premiere Event’s “mane” attraction. So roar on by and let this cute cub make you feel like royalty.

A Question For Everyone

Jul 8, 2008 by Anthony Yacullo    No Comments    Posted under: Website News

I just want to ask for everyones opinion on the way our Image Gallery is set up. At the moment it’s not viewable, & we’re of course working on getting it back up. But what I want to know, is when it returns, do you want it to be arranged the way it always has been (by park) or split up into my various trips to the Disneyland Resort. There is a poll on the sidebar to the right & I’d like to ask everyone to voice their opinion.

Thanks everyone!

PS) Happy 1 Year Anniversary to our sister site, WDW News Today, with-out whom we would not be wherever we are today (hope you got where that quote came from)!
