More new features for LaughingPlace.com

"Let's Get Together"

Discussion Boards
Tomorrow LaughingPlace.com turns six months old. To help celebrate we've added what may be our biggest new feature yet. LaughingPlace.com now features Discussion Boards where Disney fans can get together and discuss anything at all Disney related. Launched yesterday during the Super Bowl the Discussion Boards already contain well over 150 messages (as of 9:00p Monday night) on topics ranging from Tips for a first Walt Disney World trip to Fantasia/2000 opinions to affordable collectibles. If you have a chance, visit the new Discussion Boards and talk with your fellow Disney fans.

Dana Daniels
Dana Daniels was a performer in the Golden Horseshoe Variety Shoe until Woody's Roundup moved in a couple of months ago. A reader was kind enough to pass on the following information on where fans can now find Dana:

Hey, just thought I'd let LaughingPlace.com know that Dana Daniels will be performing at Wizardz on Citywalk [Ed: At Universal Studios, California] through February 6th. I don't know if you guys post this kind of news on the site or not, but a lot of Disneyland regulars might want to head to the show on Citywalk. As you probably know, Dana used to do the Golden Horseshoe Variety Show until Woody's Roundup took over. Tickets at Wizardz are $38, but there is usualy a cast member at the door handing out coupons for five bucks off.

Fans of Dana can also keep up on his goings-ons by visiting his official site at http://DanaDaniels.com.
