From the team at After the Mouse.com we would like to thank you for your continued support of the community. For your generosity of spirit and for your friendship.

I have never heard of a company to rival the Walt Disney Companies’ position in urban mythology. Legends of cryogenics, phallic castles, Eisner’s telephone number abound on the internet and in ‘common knowledge’. In this article I’d like to look at a few of the more popular myths.

I am not enough of a historian nor Disney expert to give any categorical answer to any of these urban legends, and as such I cannot support, sustain, or give any credence to any of these ideas.

I was bumbling round Amazon.com looking for Gifts and I found that my favourite movies have been issued as a box set – Yeah!!!

Toy Story - Toy Story 2 - Finding Nemo - The Incredibles - A Bug's Life - Monsters, Inc. - Cars – Ratatouille all in the one set. Cool! Okay so I already own the majority of these movies but I just love a good box set.

Dear all, if you didn’t already know our friends at Amazon are now offering music downloads!

They are iTunes compatible and cheaper too! I have had a quick look at both the UK and US sites and the music library for both is quite impresive - and as a launch offer the UK store is offering selected albums – including the new ones from Coldplay, Take That, Girls Aloud and Will Young for only £3

An old friend of mine from my Disney Days, Kay, has posted a forum post about her first return trip to Disneyland Resort Paris since becoming a mother and it makes for interesting reading.

There is such a joy in her post, her delight at rediscovering her Disneyland through the eyes of her daughter – and such disappointment as you’ll see in her post. I recommend it to you and I’d also like to hear your comments and reactions.

A terminally-ill English teenager who refused a heart transplant has been granted her wish - a holiday in Disney World. The story of Hannah Jones, 13, has been one of the big news items in the UK for a couple of weeks now. And I thought I should share it with the community.

Hannah, who suffered heart failure as a result of treatment for leukaemia, will fly to Orlando on December 1 with her family and 39 other seriously ill or disabled children in a trip organised by the charity Caudwell Children.

Adam Goodger who has just joined the community has a Disney Podcast – DisneyBrit - to promote. It is available through iTunes by following the link.

When you’ve had a listen drop a comment on Adam’s forum post to let him know! Feedback and constructive critiques will I am sure be appriciated.

After the Mouse.com is looking for volunteer correspondents based in or around Orlando to help promote, update and champion the site to our Floridian friends.

A while ago Skipper joined the team representing AtM at Disneyland and we are looking to expand our team once more, this time at Walt Disney World.
