Let’s take a look at some various things going on through-out the Disneyland Resort from this week’s Dateline Disneyland on MiceAge:
New banners have been added to Sleeping Beauty’s Castle showing, guess what…
… DREAM CLOUDS!
Club 33 is receiving a little TLC
Little Donald Ducks are on top of the new outdoor vending structures opposite Toy Story Midway Mania
WDWNT Reporter Jose Eber was able to grab an on-ride video (Warning: its a little bit shaky, as is expected with a ride of this nature containg spinning vehicles and 3-D effects) just before Toy Story Mania closed down for the day. Included is video of the queue, handicapped load area, and a special surprise at the end. Enjoy!!!
Jose Eber presents us with what he could of the Toy Story Mania previews today, showing us the Pixar Place area in its current state and the entrance to the attraction. Stay tuned as we try to gain further coverage throughout the day.

Jose Eber takes us on a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to look at the new animation archway sign, Pixar Place construction, and new walls on the back-side of the former ABC Theater.

From the OC Register:
There is still no opening date for the Monorail Red train.
Because there was such high reader interest last week about when the new train is opening, we want to keep you updated with the latest information.
Disney Spokesman John McClintock said today that the Disney is still testing and adjusting the Monorail. He said that no date has been set for the Monorail’s public launch. We’ll continue updating information on this blog about when the Monorail will open to the public.
Not sure how old this is, but a Build Your Own Lightsaber stand has been added into Star Traders in Tomorrowland. Basically, it’s a Build-A-Bear type building station, but in this case, you get to make your own Lightsaber. Different Star Wars character’s Lightsaber’s are available to mix & match, a really cool concept! Also at the top of the stand, there are a couple of screens showing various Lightsaber involved battles from the 6 Star Wars movies. The price for this great collectible is $20!

Another unfavorable incident has taken place at the Walt Disney World Resort this week:
Bianca Prieto | Orlando Sentinel Staff Writer
An armored truck employee was arrested after arranging for two friends to rob his armored truck during an early morning delivery at Walt Disney World. Orange County Sheriff’s Office received a call from Garda Security Company around 3 a.m. on Tuesday from Disney’s Grand Floridian hotel security, who alerted them of the theft. Three men who worked in the armored truck made a delivery at the hotel and returned to find one of the doors open and money missing.
Bernard Leonard Jr., 24, was arrested after investigators found he plotted with two friends to steal the undisclosed amount of money. The other two employees were not involved, according to the sheriff’s office. Police made a second arrest this afternoon. Sondra Tarrell Farmer, 24, was arrested in connection to the robbery of the armored truck. The money has not been recovered. Deputies took two suspects into custody and were interviewing them.
