Playing Games and the Castle Aglow for the Holidays

Not much in the way of news today. Disney is trying to build its empire by branching further into the video game arena. They are planning to use the same strategy that they employed in music by releasing media on multiple platforms. High School Musical Sing It! and games based on Hanna Montana and the Chronicles of Narnia are planned.

Starting November 12th Cinderella Castle will be bathed in magical light each night to celebrate the holidays. The "castle lighting" will take place each evening at 5:45 p.m. with a show staring Mickey, Minnie, Cinderella and Prince Charming. Who else but the Fairy Godmother will light the castle. The lights consist of "200,000 energy efficient LEDs interspersed with 500 strobe lights."
