Welcome to the Disney (Unofficial) Blog's week in review. We're going to talk about our stories from this week and catch up on anything you might have missed.

September 9

We talked about Epcot's Most Excellent Adventure: World Showcase and what you can find in the World Showcase for you and your family to enjoy and explore. Epcot has always been considered the educational theme park of Disney World, but who says education can't be fun and engaging?

September 10

As a follow-up to yesterday's story about the World Showcase, we talk about Epcot's Most Excellent Adventure: Future World and what you can enjoy there from the rides Soar and Spaceship: Earth to the Land and more.

September 11

Disney World is Implementing a New Fingerprint Scanner Security and while they have used biometrics for years, the new system is not about specifically matching a unique fingerprint so much as it is about identifying key points on the finger print and assigning them a numerical value. Considering the millions who visit Disney World every day, new security is not necessarily a bad thing.

September 12

We took the day off here to focus on other issues and to continue researching information to find you the best stories we can.

September 13

Would You Like the Chance to Own Disney World? The makers of Monopoly have released a new version called Here & Now that features modern locations such as Disney World as potential places you can own on the board. We also talked about iTunes and Disney Partnering Up Once Again to bring you downloadable movies including Pirates of the Caribbean and more.

September 14

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Kicks Off this week and if you've never been to a Disney Halloween bash, it's definitely full of fun tricks and neat treats. We talked about the fact that there are New Members of the Billionaire Boys Club: Jack Sparrow & Will Turner as Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest achieves the $1 billion mark.

September 15

Ever wondered how new ideas are explored and implemented at the theme parks? Check out Epcot Explores Possibilities with Kim Possible and a new interactive game they were testing at Epcot that challenged young and old alike to solve the clues to help Kim Possible prevent Dr. Drakken from turning the world into a giant golf course.
