On to WDW Pin News..
--This week they previewed a new PWP (Purchase with Purchase) pin to be released sometime withine this next year featuring Different Disney Characters with different languages of TEN... Stay Tuned for more info.--Also previewed were these couple of "Two On a Card" pins, featuring Snowman Mickey and Minnie, and a Mickey Pilgram Hat with Acorn...

Might I say, I am SOO jealous and hope that teh Disney's Hollywood Studios puppet gets replaced with something at least half as decent as this.

In other Disney News, as we posted earlier in the week, Disney has bought Marvel Entertainment, you can see my opinion of it in the GDP Special Report posted this week... (Pic courtesy of Dom13 on Dizpins)

That is it for this week, BUT we have some GREAT stuff coming up this week... Monday starts the final three articles of the Haunted Mansion series, so staytuned, as the best is yet to come in my opinion...

Also, with D23 Expo Thursday-Sunday, we will NOT be posting articles related to PINS this week, we will just be updating the site regularly with Reports from the Expo... For more info, follow my solely D23 info Twitter, @gdp_D23... So if you want to be one of the first to know info and news from D23 Expo PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE folloow @gdp_D23 as ALL of the news for this site, such as articles and news will be posted using the @gdp_D23 account NOT the @gdpinvestigator account from Thursday- Sunday...

GDP has many insiders on the floor at the expo, so we will have up to date news and info from the floor... And hopefully pics... :) If you are going to teh Expo and would like to do a report please email me at gdpinvestigator(at)gmail.com to report and pics... Thanks...

And to all who are going to the Expo, i am Very Jealous, as i have school and live on the other coast... I hope you all have FUN and learn lots...
