Guests who are heading out to this year's Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom can expect a few changes thanks to the closing of Mickey's Toontown Fair.

Most of the changes appear to center around the location of certain characters. Frontierland will take on some of the costume-clad characters, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Frontierland will also be the site of Br'er Rabbit's Candy Patch, the newly moved and reimagined Treat Trail that could be found in Toontown.

Planning an end of summer vacation, but find yourself in a debate between a visit to Disney or soaking up some sun at the beach? Well, on Florida's Atlantic coast, there's a place that is the best of both worlds...Disney's Vero Beach Resort.

The Resort

For all of you WDW foodies out there, here is some news for you! It looks like there are a few new menu items to be had in the Magic Kingdom, including a Mickey pretzel.

Turns out, the pretzel is already popular at Disneyland and is being tested out at the Magic Kingdom. If you'd like to give the snack a try, head over to the Frontierland Pretzel Wagon (look for it between the Pecos Bill Cafe and the Diamond Horseshoe); at present, this is the only location within WDW to sell this iconic treat.

A background painter, color stylist, and concept designer, Claude Coats worked with The Walt Disney Company for over 50 years. Known as the "gentle giant" because of his towering stature -- he was 6 feet, 6 1/8 inches-tall -- Coats worked on some of Disney Studio's most iconic animated features and helped bring Disneyland, Disney World, and other parks to life.

Coats was born on January 17, 1913 in San Francisco, California and graduated from the University of Southern California in 1934. After studying at the Chouinard Art Institute Coats joined The Walt Disney Studios in 1935.

Today we are visiting my absolute favorite place to eat in all of Disney World, the Earl of Sandwich. I know you would think it would be somewhere like Victoria and Albert's, California Grill, or something in that ballpark but no just take me to Earl of Sandwich and I will be a happy camper.

Heading to Disney's Animal Kingdom in the future? Keep your eyes peeled for the newest member of the park's elephant family. A new male calf was born into the herd on August 24.

The male elephant's birth is the sixth to occur at the Animal Kingdom. He weighs in at 311 pounds and joins a seven-year-old big sister Kianga and their mother Vasha.

The baby is a result of the artificial insemination of Vasha in October 2009. It's reported that Vasha received "excellent pre-natal care" that included monitoring around the clock since early August.

Currently, the baby remains unnamed.

One of the three attractions at Magic Kingdom on opening day in 1971, the Mickey Mouse Revue was a dream of Walt Disney's and delighted fans for years before it was sent to Tokyo Disneyland in 1980.
