| Disney Cracks Down on Shijingshan Park
Disney bosses are in crisis talks with the owners of a 'fake' Chinese version of the famous amusement park. Over the weeklong May Day holiday, the Shijingshan Amusement Park filled its grounds on Beijing's western suburbs with actors in costumes that resembled Disney and other foreign characters.

The banner has now been taken down and none of the cartoon characters were on display, as crisis talks with Disney continue.

Five Walt Disney World guests and an employee were transported to the hospital Tuesday morning after the Kali River Rapids ride at Animal Kingdom malfunctioned during an evacuation routine. During a sensor prompted evacuation, a platform designed to help transfer guests from the ride to the exit stairs malfunctioned causing minor injuries. Disney spokeswoman Kim Prunty said the reason the ride stopped and how the evacuation platform malfunctioned is being investigated, but stressed that Disney's primary concern is for those impacted by the incident.

Cavern explorers in Dead Man's Grotto will encounter ghostly apparitions, buried treasure and mysterious voices, as well as discover an ornate chest that holds the heart of the villainous Davy Jones.
Thousands of colorful fireworks filled the nighttime sky over Barcelona this evening as, for the first time, the Disney Magic cruise ship approached the Spanish port city nestled along the Mediterranean coast, signaling Disney Cruise Line's first-ever foray into the European cruise market.

The Port of Barcelona will serve as homeport for the Disney Magic this summer as it embarks on brand new 10- and 11-night itineraries in the Mediterranean.
Thousands of make-your-own Winnie the Pooh plush bears will be sent to children's hospitals in three countries through the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation.

A new area of Disneyland's Frontierland opens Friday called Pirates Lair in the Tom Sawyer Island section of the park.

When Disney acquired Pixar last year, Lasseter was made chief creative officer of the studio's feature animation division. Topping the to-do list of the ToyStory and Cars director was to resuscitate the Magic Kingdom's much-abused 2-D legacy. The comeback begins Nov. 21 with Disney's return to the land of traditional make-believe in Enchanted, a long-planned mix of live action and animation. Enchanted is sprinkled with 14 minutes of hand-drawn romantic adventures that pay humorous tribute to the likes of Snow White and Cinderella. The story of a cartoon princess who is banished to Manhattan and must cope with the realities of urban life might remind audiences how much they have missed Disney fables of yore.
Quinceanera parties, the traditional Latin coming-of-age celebrations, have arrived at Walt Disney World Resort. From a fully customized celebration based on a family's ideas to pre-designed, themed Quinceanera events that take away all the worry of planning, Disney is offering these tradition-steeped extravaganzas for girls turning age 15 -- a passage from flat-soled shoes and dolls to high heels, elaborate gowns and young womanhood.
