No big surprise, I am still on a bit of a Disney kick since returning from Disney World, so I have been gathering up some Disney links lately:
The Disney Blog – Disney news provided with color commentary and insight, written by people that obviously like Disney but without the standard PR being shoved down your throat. This is a great blog to get information on the World of Disney rather than just what Disney is promoting.
SaveDisneyShows.org – technically not a blog, but still worth a look for anybody that enjoys (or you know have kids that enjoy) Disney Shows. This site trys to help round up and inform people about the current “unwritten” policy that ends shows on Disney after 3 years or 65 episodes. They were key in getting Disney to reconsider and give Kim Possible a 4th season, and they are working with many other shows as well. The 65 episode “rule” was put in place under former boss, Michael Eisner, and really should be stopped allowing the viewers (by popularity of the show) decide when it is “over.”
Mickey News – very busy visually, and a bit tough to read at times because of it, but it is an excellent place to find news and information for anything Disney related.
Toontown Online – again, not a blog, but worth mentioning. Toontown Online, the multi-player online game offered by Disney has since its inception in 2003, been a pay service, with a fee of $9.95 a month (after free trial of course). However, the Toontown world it seems will be moving to an ad-based model instead starting this fall.
Intercot – They lay claim to, “more information per square megabyte“™ than any other Disney World site on the Internet. A tall order considering how much information is out there. But regardless an excellent place to find information on Disney or links to others, and worth a peek if you are trying to find information on Disney of any sort.
Mousekingdom Blog – “The Magic – seen from different points of view…” Interesting, sometimes offbeat commentary, but sounds far more influenced by Disney PR than others.
Disney Frontier Blog – “A Disney Blog Bringing you links to unique, interesting and fun Disney related sounds, videos and pictures. “ Simply pu, more than just a rehashing of the same stories as everybody else.
Any other great Blogs or sites I should be checking out that deals with the House of Mouse?
Great list. Here’s another that I found once–written by Disney employees. http://imagineerebirth.blogspot.com/
The Disney Blog may be the greatest Disney blog ever written. Glad to see it on the list!
Not that I’m biased or anything.

Another great Disney website is http://allearsnet.com/ A little late for you now, but great for planning a trip.
I read the Disney Blog and have seen some of the others, I’ll have to check out the rest.
