We are happy to announce the release of issue 10 of WDWNT: The Magazine.  As we turn our attention to winter in the parks, we take the opportunity to look at some of the Disney company offerings this year.  First we head across the Pacific for a look at Hong Kong Disneyland.  From there it’s back to the United States for a special look at the recent Marty Sklar and Jack Lindquist panel at IAAPA 2011 Exposition.  Then, we travel from the real world to the virtual world as we have an in-depth review of the Disneyland Kinect game that was recently released.  Finally we enter the fairy-tale world by considering ABC’s new hit, Once Upon A Time.

We also have a few of our reoccurring columns in this issue as Eating WDW provides a photo report related to Mickey’s Christmas Carol, a look at the latest in Vinylmation offerings including some holiday themed vinyls, and Magical Memorium goes back in time to review the history of the Orange Bird.  All this, along with monthly news highlights, a new Where in the World photo hunt, and much more await you in this issue of WDWNT: The Magazine.

We hope that you will find the articles within both entertaining and educational.  If you have any suggestions or feedback, we are always happy to hear from our readers.  Just send an email to WDWNTthemagazine@wdwnt.com and share your thoughts.

We are very happy to announce the release of issue 9 of WDWNT: The Magazine.  This issue is a unique potpourri of topics that are sure to interest Disney Park fans of all types.  In this issue look back at the impact that Steve Jobs had on the Disney company, review the Project XL event, and answer the important question, “What is an EPCOT?”  We also take a look behind the scenes at the many holiday offerings within the Walt Disney World resort.  There is also an article examining the biggest announcement from Parks and Resorts in years- the Avatar addition to Animal Kingdom.

We also have a few of our reoccurring columns in this issue as Eating WDW provides additional opinions on the Epcot International Food & Wine festival offerings, a look at the Muppet vinylmations, and a listing of some of the many tours available in the Walt Disney World parks.  We also look back at the Walt Disney Story attraction that used to be a fixture on Main Street USA.

With the inaugural expo in 2009, Disney’s D23 Expo was established as the premier event for Disney fans, and is even called “The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.”  For the 2011 D23 Expo, being held August 19th through 21st at the Anaheim Convention Center, WDWNT is bringing coverage of the event to all new heights.

For those that can’t make the trip to California, WDWNT is pleased to announce the release of the D23 Expo Central site.  This site will be the portal for all of WDWNT’s planned coverage of the expo.  The website will have an impressive collection of features such as live video streaming via Justin.tv, real-time Twitter feeds from WDWNT, DLNT, and many others, live media updates (photos, videos, and audio), a top-of-the-page news ticker highlighting the biggest announcements, Facebook, Google+ , and Twitter integration, and mobile support for Android, iPhone, and iPad devices.  All these features will be used to provide Disney fans not at the convention center the most engaging coverage possible.

If you can’t attend the D23 Expo, then do the next best thing, and visit WDWNT’s D23 Expo Central.

Update: 5/31/11 Disney announced today the latest addition to the Disney Afternoons series… Doug and his dog Porkchop. (More details below) No release date yet, but the interesting part of this announcement is they remind us about the Goof Troop set to be released on June 10th, and then say “coming up after that release” will be Doug. Are they skipping over the already announced Dark Wing Duck? Here is the artwork for Doug:

Update: 5/21/11 Added dates for Chip and Dale’s release.

Update: 3/2/11 Tailspin went online for $26.95 and then Disney went back and changed all previous mentions of the price to $26.95. Does that mean the rest of the series will change price?
