This piece of print, however, is very hard to get a hold of, and we only managed to grab a snippet. I hope that we can understand fully what Spirits might be Raging!

Don't Get in a Rage!
Another attraction at Tokyo DisneySea is the Raging Spirits attraction. But if you want to experience the ride fully, don't forget to pick up a copy of El Rio Perdido Heraldo newspaper.

What Do You Celebrate?
Our last 'What Do You Celebrate?' interview for 2009 is with a current Cast Member at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. Her name is Kaitlyn Robrock and we are very happy to welcome her to DF'82! Let's have a look at how and why she celebrates Disney...
How did you become a Disney fan?
Disney fan since birth, [I] have also felt it is "inside" me.
What is your favourite Disney Theme Park?
Tokyo, even though I've never been.
Which is your favourite attraction - past or present - and why?
Fave ride is Indiana Jones, because I pretend to be the heroic driver who saves people in my car!
Is there one show or parade, which you feels best embodies the spirit of Disney?
Fantasmic! best represents Disney's spirit by using excellent music, colours, characters, a simple story, water and fireworks.
What is your Disney "Guilty Pleasure"?
Guilty Pleasure is collecting art books or Imagineering books
because I have the hopeless dream of one day contributing to Disney on a very grand scale, and be a household name for it!
How do you bring your love of Disney into your daily life?
Collectibles on display in the house, Disney clothes, music always playing, plush Minnies on my bed, Disney brand food (which is new!), playing the game of recognising voice actors in Disney works, and working in Disneyland as my job!

Shall We Take Another Journey?
The week between Christmas and New Year is a very hectic one in the Royal Household. Although we do get a lot of relaxation time, there are many, many people to see and many things to do!
But one thing we could do, for a little change, is to travel to the centre of the earth. But where could we do this? Well, in Tokyo DisneySea we could take a Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Let's check out the brochure!

Happy Boxing Day
Today in the UK - and many other countries, especially those in the Commonwealth - is commonly known as Boxing Day. Named this due to the historical events of giving gifts to those less wealthy and slaves - usually in the form of a Christmas Box.
Nowadays it is a very popular day for sales to start in shops, and it can be one of the busiest shopping days of the year! So why not try going to the Thunder Mesa Mercantile Building in Frontierland, Disneyland Paris, and see if they have any special sales on?
Perhaps a hat or two, or some pistols? Everything a marksman or a frontier-person needs in Frontierland!

Holidays In Epcot
One of my favourite Walt Disney World parks during Christmas is actually Epcot. I adore the Magic Kingdom - especially Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - but Epcot is a fascinating place to be during the Holiday Season. With their Holidays Around the World celebration, it is a great place to learn about how Christmas is celebrated in other countries - or what we, in the UK, call 'Christmas'.
I was lucky enough to work in Epcot during the Christmas season of 2004, where I was also lucky enough to be involved in the Tree Lighting Ceremony. This involved riding the Epcot Bus with characters, and other Cultural Representative Cast Members (at least one from each Pavilion in World Showcase), to help Mickey and Minnie Mouse turn on the Christmas Lights at Epcot!
And one of the most beautiful sights to behold: well, it was the turning on of the Lights of Winter holiday archways. These lights danced, flickering on and off in time with the music as you walked under it. Unfortunately, these lights have been retired this year due to obsolete technology. But it is still nice to admire the lights of Christmas past.
The Christmas Tree is decorated beautifully, with Christmas baubles depicting each country in the World Showcase, as well as slogans with "Happy Holidays" in their languages - or the country's seasonal message.
