Here are two brief news stories that could be of interest to our Walt Disney World fans.

First up,some helpful news from Disney's Animal Kingdom. That park is said to start offering two-hour locker rentals to guests riding the Kali Rapids. Look for the new lockers by the restroom near the Rapids' main entrance. Keep in mind, it is a two-hour rental; those wishing a longer rental time can still utilize the lockers for rent near the front of the park.

This one's for all the brides-to-be who'd like to channel Cinderella on their special day. Alfred Angelo and Disney have teamed up to introduce a limited-edition line of bridal gowns based on the beloved Disney princess.

Epcot is turning the big 3-0 this year, and D23, Disney's official fan club, is helping the park celebrate. For those of you lucky enough to be planning a trip to Epcot this October 1, here is a list of what to expect to help Epcot ring in their 30th anniversary.

D23 is planning special presentations about the history of Epcot in the World Showcase. Each presentation is included in the park admission ticket, but seating is limited. Here's the schedule:

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" will be marking its 75th anniversary with a "state-of-the-art digital presentation" at this year's New York Film Festival. The beloved Disney animated film is set to light up the big screen on Saturday, September 29 at the Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.

Those lucky enough to attend the festival's screening of the Disney classic will also be treated to a sneak peek of the newest Disney animated short, "Paperman."

If you love the idea of Disney for Christmas, but want to skip the high crowds that can descend on the parks, why not take a trip this holiday season, give a gift that's both nautical and nice: a Disney Cruise!

Walt Disney World and politics? Who knew the two could be mentioned in the same sentence. Recently, Walt Disney World gave $15,000 to Republican State Representative Scott Plakon.

Rep. Plakon, who is a two-term incumbant running for re-election in a central Florida legislative race, was given the campaign donation by Disney last week through his "Floridians for Prosperity & Economic Liberty" fundraising committee.

It's time once again for the ghouls and goblins to gather at Walt Disney World's magic Kingdom for 23 spooktacular nights of fun during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!

The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival is just around the corner, and this year there are a few meals with celebrities planned as part of the fest. In October, guests can choose to rub elbows and break bread with the likes of Cat Cora, John Lasseter, Andrew Zimmern and the Voltaggio brothers this October.

First up is a five-course dinner with Cat Cora at her Disney Boardwalk restaurant, Kouzzina by Cat Cora. Guests can sign up for either the October 2 or October 4 meal. Cost is $170 per person.
