Need a cool photographer for pics around the parks? Try David and Vicki Arndt! They are awesome!!

Toy Story 3 Vinylmation figures, from Disney Parks
Lisa and Trace went to see Toy Story 3, and we all need to regroup a bit. Not everyone is as big a fan of the film as the Watchamacallit. Plus, not everybody stayed awake for the whole film.
By the way, that Ken video that the Watchamacallit mentioned? If you haven’t watched it yet, time to head to YouTube to watch Groovin’ With Ken.
And those Toy Story 3 Vinylmation that Trace mentioned? Oh yeah, Jennifer’s gonna be looking for those in the parks.

"it's a small world" at Disneyland Paris
What better way to celebrate Bastille Day than by listening to odds and ends of Disneyland Paris audio? First, though, we have a few words about the re-naming and new backstory for Prince Charming Carrousel in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Parents, be warned! This one gets kinda weird.
Shocking as it may sound, when Lisa and Trace visited the newly butch Prince Charming Carousel last weekend, it didn’t seem to have changed at all! Here’s the photographic evidence gathered on their visit:
A new sign!
Lisa asks, perhaps the arrows make this horse more masculine?
You must also immediately go look at the creepy Mickey art on the web site where Jennifer found information on the Grease musical at Disneyland Paris. (Wow, what a sentence that is.)
And of course, Lance Kerwin fans are invited to a nostalgia party right here:
Sorry. Really, we are. Actually, no we’re not. You know how we get sometimes.

Another journey this week into some park audio – this time, Disneyland Paris and POTC! We’ll hear park BRM for POTC (heh- love those abbreviations!!), then a musical ride through of the Parisian POTC followed by the actual ride through, en francais. My step-dad’s (god rest his soul) FAVORITE Randy Newman song brings it all home. Enjoy!!
say "ARGGGG!!!"

Worried about finding good seats? Not us!
ZOMG, the Cat #1 family absolutely loved Toy Story 3. So not only does The Watchamacallit appear on this show, but so does Jennifer’s husband, Collateral Damage.

Larry and Dennis' fabulous Tiki Room shirts!
This is the queerest episode ever of Those Darn Cats! Jennifer is joined by our listeners Danielle, Larry, and Dennis to talk about Gay Days at Disney Parks, to celebrate last weekend’s Gay Days Orlando. So, it deserves the queerest show notes ever.
Want to know more about the history of Gay Days? There’s a great essay in the book Rethinking Disney: Private Control, Public Dimensions, now on Google Books.
You simply must watch the instructional video for Worthie Meacham’s Tiki Room meet at Disneyland Gay Days:
We’ve also got some great pictures here, courtesy of Larry from San Diego:
I'm not sure they're feeling festive enough.
Everyone loves a parade!
And yes, things do sound like they get quite a bit steamier at the after-hours, private parties.
Guess they spend a lot of time in the gym, eh?
Foam party? I'd expected everything else, but . . .

In this weeks show, we are joined by the fabulous Carrie Hayward, Editor of E books at PassPorter and Author of PassPorter’s Disney Weddings & Honeymoons. We discuss weddings, travel to Paris and Carrie’s recent trip to visit Tokyo Disney Land and Sea.
You might also enjoy checking out Miss Carrie’s most beautiful wedding on her trip report on the Disboards.

The official Tokyo Disney Fairy Tale Weddings site can be found here. Upon further thought, I wonder if you could dress as Mulan at a Tokyo Disney wedding?
Then we follow up with some rather disturbing service monkey tales of terror. Thanks Andy – oh, and Happy Margarita Fest Anniversary!
