Just Days before the EuroDisney Cast Member reunion for the resorts 20th anniversary we all had some really sad news - one of our number Tom Walsh had been murdered in Florida.

Suggested Agenda for April 12th – Cast Member Reunion.

Knowing that Everyone has their own agenda, you’ll all be arriving from different places, arriving at different times I suggest the following time table. I think we’ll have a few rendezvous throughout the day where you can meet up with the group as you arrive and two main meetings, one at the beginning and end of the day…

10.00 – RDV – Outside the Wild West Show / Gaumont Cinema in the Disney Village (Festival Disney)

12.00 – RDV – The Band Stand, opposite City Hall. (Magic Kingdom)

Sadly, as of today I am having to start manualy authorising members to the site - it is due to the large amount of un-Disney spamming that has been going on this last month.

I apologise for any problems this may cause, though I am sure you'll understand my position.

Many thanks.

"After nearly 60 years, Mickey Mouse has decided to let his workers put their razors away. The Walt Disney Co. announced Monday that it would let employees at its two U.S. theme-park resorts — including its more than 60,000 workers at Walt Disney World — grow beards or goatees. The new policy, which takes effect Feb. 3, eliminates a facial-hair ban that has for decades been a source of grumbling among some of the company's male theme-park workers." Origional Report

When ever heading to San Francisco visitors usually have to pick and choose where they want to go based off what excites them. Well now there is another option to choose from or, for anyone that is a Disney fan, a must visit. The Walt Disney Family Museum is found in The Presidio of San Francisco and looks over the bay, including the Golden Gate Bridge. From the outside, the building itself feels like something that could be found on Main Street U.S.A. Once you enter the building, the world you’re in seems to transform into something only Walt himself could have possibly imagined

Since the new look site was launched a little over two months ago I am pleased to say that the vast majority of the feedback has been very complimentary – with one exception – Spammers!

I recently had an email from a fellow Cast Member to report a fake member who was spamming their inbox. Needless to say that fake member has been barred and the account deleted.

To try and curb future spammers I’ll be adding a couple of road bumps to the messaging process – which will of course have a knock on effect on everyone who uses the site. I sincerely hope the pro’s out weigh the cons.

Messieurs Dames, Ladies and Gentlemen – it is almost 20 years since some of the members of this community first met in a sleepy corner of Marne-la-Vallee France. Would any of you care to meet up again on April 12th (2002 Doh!) 2012? Let me know – please comment below! For those of you on Facebook there is a group set up.

From Disney and More blog. His reportage on the Paris Disneyland Big Thunder Mountain accident has been excellent. Since my initial report on the 25th, here are a few updates that he managed to scoop.

From The Disney Blog.

Around 2:50 pm today, pieces of decorative faux rock at Disneyland Paris’ Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster attraction fell and struck guests riding the attraction. Five guests were hurt. Four were treated at the park, however one ‘serious’ head injury was taken to the hospital. Our best wishes are with him and his family while he recovers.
