Disney Community Roundup – August 15, 2011

Once again, it’s time to take a look around the web at our friends in the Disney community that we here at Touring Plans support, and see what they’ve been up to this week.

It’s hard to teach frequent visitors new tricks.  But the WDW Today boys did a whole episode about what Matt Hochberg, Mike Scopa and TouringPlans.com founder Len Testa learned on their recent visits.  Take a listen.

The WDW Radio Newscast is prepping for this week’s D23 Expo.  Lou Mongello will be out at the Expo and will bring us the latest news live in the WDW Radio Live player.  Check it out.

On the Be Our Guest Podcast, the gang were joined by Dean and Becca, who discussed a recent trip to Walt Disney World when they stayed at the Swan, while another show featured the best attraction scenes in the World.

No new episode of Betamouse this week, but if you’re headed out to the D23 Expo, make sure to meet up with Betamouse’s Scott Barrett and lead Touring Plans developer Henry Work for a fun meet at Boardwalk Pizza and Pasta in Disney’s California Adventure.  Check out the details here.

Speaking of the D23 Expo, Marvel is making its debut at the Expo this week, and on a previous episode of Mousetalgia, the gang spoke with Imagineer Josh Shipley about the relationship between Disney and Marvel.  Could it offer clues to the future of Marvel in the parks?

Been interested in what’s going on with the remake of Disney’s California Adventure?  Check out what Nate and Matt had to say about the progress on this week’s Wedway Radio podcast.

The AllEars Newsletter is a fabulous source of information every week, but I loved this week’s topic, about how to do a three day weekend at Walt Disney World.  I’ve done it a lot, but it was great to see the AllEars team offer their tips.  You should definitely subscribe and check it out.

Mouseplanet’s Disneyland update this past week covered more updates on the DCA remake, the donation of the Golden Zephyr train to a local train museum and more.  Over in the Walt Disney World update, Mark Goldhaber covered the re-opening Tiki Room and the new Annual Pass and Free Dining discounts.

The Micechat Dateline Disneyland update gave us a great peek at the Radiator Springs project in California Adventure, as well as an update on new Annual Pass processing in Disneyland.

With the D23 Expo coming up this week, Disneyland Live had all the updates including the debut of Marvel at the Expo and an updated schedule of events.  Check it out to get ready for the excitement.

Those are the folks we work with…but what did you see this week?
