• Epcot's just-announced Italy pizzeria
• Star Tours II in 3D
• Aerosmith's shake-up and the potential of an impact on Rock 'n' Rollercoaster

From Disneyland
• Disney's World of Color (including a chance to win Amy Grant's book and Greatest Hits CD... plus an explanation of why that's especially relevant to this attraction)
• Captain EO returns
• A new decorative decision on Main Street is leaving some Disneyland guests perturbed

From Walt Disney Productions & Broadway
• Up's chances in the Oscar race
