DisneyFamily.com announced today the launch of their parent networking site. This is a site for parents to interact with each other by connecting to each other by their hobbies and ages of their children. Parents can also interact with other parents in the same area or over common interests such as the environment, parent tips and recipes and crafting. Parents can also join groups with similar interests such as birthday party planing and recipe swaps. Local groups, such as PTAs or book clubs, can also use the site for planning local meet ups.
Disney announced yesterday a discounted package for as low as $49 per person per day for travel between September 24th and December 23. You must book by September 24th to get the discount.

Diznews: 8.20.08 - Tropical Storm Fay and DisFriends To Disband
Tropical Storm Fay Edition
As I am writing this it is after midnight in Florida and the eye of the storm has passed to the southeast of Orlando. Residents are still under a Tornado warning until 1 am and there are high winds and flooding concerns. According to the Orlando Sentinel only Sea World and Aquatica closed early on Tuesday. From everything I have read, the storm has been relatively mild with some storm damage and a few injuries to intrepid surfers.
DisFriends to Disband
DisFriends, the Disney online social networking site, announced today that it will be disbanding as of October first. The owner of this neat little site stated that it has become to difficult to continue to run it, siting personal reasons and difficulty with the their ISP. I hope that people might offer suggestions of great online communities for people to join. If you have a site that you would like to recommend to others in the group please drop me a line and I’ll post your comments.

Disney to produce Japanese Lilo and Stitch, Safety plussed at Primeval Whirl and Disney Dan Dies
Disney announced this morning that they are teaming up with Japanese animation company Madhouse, Ltd. The show will be based on the movie and distributed via satellite and cable television in Japan.
The AP is reporting that new safety features have been added to Primeval Whirl after a cast member was fatally injured operating the ride in November. Sensor mats have been installed so that if a cast member is in the restricted area the ride will shut down. Load and unload zones will also be more clearly marked.
We've lost a very special member of our community, Disney Dan of the Dream Come True fund has passed away. Disney Dan was a life long truck driver who retired from the profession in the early 90s. He teamed up with fellow Weymouth Elk, George Soule. Together they raised funds to send over 100 terminally or severely ill children to Disney World through the Give Kids the World Foundation. His obituary appears here.
