Living in Atlanta, I've been forced this past season to get the family season passes to Six Flags over Georgia. With each trip I see more and more why Disney has it right. Have noticed this year that Six Flags is trying it's best to copy some of the formula (photo pass, "flash passes", etc.) but they've got a LONG way to go. I've never had to actually fear for my kids safety at anything Disney-related.

Are you still scarred by that one trip you took to Six Flags (NYSE: SIX - News) a few years ago that kept you away for keeps? Were the teens in line behind you swearing the whole time? Did a pack of rowdy coaster-lovers skip in front of you?

MARCELINE, Mo. -- In most towns, people would probably stare at Barb Boyd for wearing gold-sequined Mickey Mouse ears during her regular strolls down Main Street.

Here, townsfolk just wave.

So is Elton getting a window on Main Street?

We have our big winner...

"The Year of a Million Dreams" is a first-of-its-kind event celebrating the individual dreams of Disney Park guests from around the world. So Disney made the Spangler family from Randolph, Ohio - winners of an online sweepstakes used to help kick off the celebration - the ultimate, one-of-a-kind Magic Kingdom VIPs. Disney Parks literally rolled out the red carpet for the Spanglers on Main Street, U.S.A. at Walt Disney World Resort.

The DVC membership would be kewl...but then again staying in the castle is a once in a lifetime event...

Cruises, world tours of all Disney theme parks, Mickey Mouse ears, shopping sprees, nights in Cinderella Castle, time-share condominium leases, commemorative pins: These are a few of the things that Disney's million dreams are made of.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has announced 1,250,000 prizes with a combined value of more than $17.4 million that will be given away through Walt Disney World and Disneyland starting Oct. 1, when the company's 14-month "Year of a Million Dreams" campaign begins.

Wow! Congrats to Disney...

In only one week, Apple Computer’s iTunes store generated US$1 million in movie sales for Walt Disney, and that’s "just the beginning," the head of Disney said Tuesday.

Found over on cnet

Despite the fact that Disney has just inked a deal with Apple Computer over movie sales in the iTunes Store, and the fact that Apple head honcho Steve Jobs is Disney's largest shareholder, the company that made mouse ears an American icon just might be playing for both teams.

Disney was listed as the #1 best place to launch a career over at BusinessWeek...

Good story on the WDW Casting Center over at MousePlanet...Went there in June and found that for "professional recruiting" it's locked up like Ft Knox and you have to be invited to meet with someone...still working on my invitation.

I'm still curious when all the PCs at EPCOT's Innoventions magically become Macs...

Seeking to further push digital media into homes, Apple Computer launched its long-awaited online movie service and showed off a device that will make it easier for consumers to watch the videos on television.
