Monday Morning Distraction: Oh Canada Edition!

In a post-Olympic funk?  Well take your mind off that second place finish in hockey by reading the latest in Disney news.

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that two construction firms have been chosen to oversee the Fantasyland expansion.  They'll break ground on the first phase of the expansion starting this spring alongside Disney's own Buena Vista Construction Company.

The Disney Food Blog has a great guest post up about the Chef's table at Victoria and Albert's.  Looks like an incredible experience.

John Frost with some really insightful points regarding OSHA's preliminary report on the monorail crash that resulted in the death of a cast member.

Disney Vacation Club owners can now get a button that identifies them when they are visiting the World.

WDW Centrals discusses how to rekindle your Disney obsession should it begin to wane. As if, Matt! 

Lou Mongello over at WDW Radio tries his hand at tilt-shift photography in Adventureland. Adorable!  I thnk he really captured it.

Disney Shawn goes back to 1980 and discusses the construction and opening of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Great photos and story.

From the official Disney Parks blog, accolades for six Disney resorts from Triple AAA.

Also from the Disney Parks Blog, a fun, historic video of one of my favorite attractions, It's a Small World

Have a great Monday!

I need to do some kinda round up like you girls do but I have way to many news articles per week and I am way to lazy..
I enjoy reading both of yours though :)
