Posted by Ashley McChesney on Sun, Oct 11, 2009 @ 09:58 AM
This is the first of my new Weekly Roundup Blogs. These will be posted every Sunday as a quick recap of what has been going on around the internet, expect news on all the Orlando Theme Parks as well as movies and events.
New Websites
Universal has unveiled their new website for both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Not much different from the old one, but a bit easier to navigate.
Disney has released their new Disney Huanted Holidays website. It is a spooky Halloween Theme that is all flash and interactive. A lot of fun!
After Blackstone bought up SeaWorld and it's sister parks a new blog was released to cover all SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Aquatica news.
Movies
The Theatrical Trailer was released for Toy Story 3. I usually hate movie sequels that drag on forever, but this looks very cute.
A behind the scenes featurette came out for Making of A Christmas Carol.
A clip of the first five minutes of The Princess and the Frog was released this week but was quickly taken down by Disney. (If you follow us on Twitter you got to see it, if you don't maybe you should.)
