The planned Disneyland Park in Shanghai will break ground as early as November, one year after the project was approved by the central government in 2009, sources close to the project said on Wednesday. "The chosen area to build the future Disney World Resort, formerly an area scattered with homes and farms, has been cleared for construction," said a villager surnamed Ge, who lives in a nearby village that failed to become part of the amusement park.

"There has been huge change in this area in the past half year. After relocation, there are only four or five houses still standing on the spacious plot of land. Apparently, they have not reached a deal with the government over relocation compensation," he said.

You might have guessed that the day was sponsored by a Fibre Paper and Packaging company, but they weren't all seaworthy.

When Shaun Knudsen and Abe Ott launched their two-person, brown-and-yellow, banana slug-themed boat, Slug O'War, into Lake Sacajawea it promptly capsized, sending Knudsen and Ott into the water.

After another failed attempt with a two-person crew, Captain Ott came up with a better plan — turn it into a solo mission. 'I put so much time and effort into this, I was not going to give up that easy,' Ott said.

Disney is going retro. Starting Monday, its kid-targeted Radio Disney network will air a scripted serial called "My Dream," a contemporary story on a format reminiscent of the 1940s, before TV was pervasive. Unlike Depression-era radio serials that typically featured episodes lasting 30 minutes, episodes of "My Dream" will last just 90 seconds each. "Bite-size chunks," as Radio Disney GM Michael Riley put it.

An original episode will debut each day, five days a week, for a month. Each episode will air four times on Radio Disney. "My Dream" stars 13-year-old Daphne Blunt as Kayla, a teenager trying to make a name for herself in the music industry while dealing with the usual struggles, responsibilities.

And emotional ups and downs of an everyday teen. Blunt's credits include stints on "The Young and the Restless" and "Big Time Rush."Disney said it hasn't lined up a sponsor for the show. "We really wanted to capitalize on what makes radio ," Riley said. "It's a back-to-the-future concept."

The theme park — which is made up of Disneyland and California Adventure  also features a sophisticated, pedestrian-friendly retail and dining district; luxury accommodations and a Balinese spa; award-winning restaurants; lounges and bars; and opening this month, a new light show called “World of Color” that is on par with the fountain show at the Bellagio. 

WHERE TO STAY Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa — the only AAA Four-Diamond hotel in North Orange County  is a beautiful, expertly run hotel with a theme and architectural style reminiscent of the California Arts & Crafts era at the turn of the 20th century.

The Disneyland Resort announced today that it will install sign language interpreters to its various dialog-based attractions at its two theme parks, Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure. While American Sign Language communicators have always been available to park guests, this often had to be arranged by calling ahead. Now, guests can enjoy many attractions that were otherwise inaccessible to their fullest potential without having to make prior arrangements.

Guests visiting the parks may stop by City Hall at Disneyland or Guests Relations at Disney’s California Adventure for information on the ASL interpreters. To begin with, eight interpreters will be available on Monday and Saturday at Disneyland and on Friday and Sunday at Disney’s California Adventure.

The interpretation will be offered for those attractions where dialog is the primary means of communication; this includes Jungle Cruise and Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland and Turtle Talk with Crush and “Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular” at Disney’s California Adventure. The offer will also extend to the parks’ parades, including “Celebrate – A Street Party” and “High School Musical 3: Senior Year”.
