Miley said, “The reason I mostly got rid of my twitter is because I was like…that’s what I said my New Year’s resolution was…to take more time to do the things that I say I am doing to the fullest that I can. And I don’t feel like I was doing that…so I don’t really miss it. I think the greatest thing though is being able to stay connected and that’s what phones and email are phone, and you can have private conversations and  not have to worry about what other people are going to think or what other people are going to say about it.”

And if you still don’t know why she left…just check out her rap. Yo.

Check out some more interviews/video clips of Miley from the “Concert for Hope” below. She also talks about the end of “Hannah Montana”.

WHO: Mickey Mouse will visit Union Station in Kansas City, Walt Disney’s hometown, to celebrate the unveiling of a traveling art exhibit that pays homage to Walt Disney’s lifelong love of trains and introduces the latest train conducted by Mickey himself, Mickey’s Magic Choo Choo toy train, releasing in time for the holidays. Local preschoolers along with representatives from the Kansas City Mayor’s office and hundreds of fans will see Mickey before he departs from Union Station bound for Los Angeles for a viewing party for the premier of the Disney Channel primetime special, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Choo Choo Express airing Sunday October 25th. Families and their kids can track Mickey’s travels online at www.YouTube.com/Disneyliving.

WHAT: The exhibit captures the history of Walt’s and Mickey’s love of trains with a nod to life on the railroad in the early 20th century. Introducing visitors to rare animation art, historic photography and some of Walt’s personal train-related artifacts, the gallery tells the story of a simpler time when Mickey and friends traveled by rail and Walt himself was building one-of-a-kind miniature railroads in his backyard for friends and family. Including photographs of Walt riding the "Lilly Belle" or Mickey rushing to catch a train in an early animation sketch from Mr. Mouse Takes A Trip, this unique art collection comprised of nearly two dozen pieces will be on display at Union Station for a limited time; select images will then move to Griffith Park in Los Angeles.

WHEN: SATURDAY, October 10, 2009, 10:00AM-12:00PM

WHERE:
Kansas City Union Station
30 W. Pershing Rd.
Kansas City, MO 64108

MORE: Radio Disney and representatives from the United States Marines will be on hand to help Mickey Mouse kick off Disney’s annual Toys for Tots campaign where guests will help collect and sort toys for distribution to needy families this holiday season. Walt Disney’s involvement with Toys for Tots dates back to 1948, when he designed the original Toys for Tots logo.

HOLIDAY 2009 D23 CHARTER MEMBER-ONLY SPECIAL EVENTS:

December 6, 2009  D23’s Candlelight Spectacular at Disneyland

For more than 50 years, Disneyland’s Candlelight Processional and Ceremony has heralded in the Christmas season at "The Merriest Place on Earth." This year’s Candlelight Processional and Ceremony serves as the centerpiece of D23’s first holiday season celebration during a magical day of festivities created exclusively for D23 Members and their guests. This can’t-miss event begins with a day enjoying the holiday splendor of Disneyland including reserved seating at Disneyland’s A Christmas Fantasy Parade. When night falls, D23 Members and their guests will gather inside Stage 17 at Disney’s California Adventure where a winter wonderland awaits with a sumptuous private dinner prepared by Disneyland’s Executive Chef—with a special show starring some of Disney’s most beloved characters donning their holiday best. Later that evening, D23 Members and their guests will be escorted to reserved seating for this year’s Candlelight Processional and Ceremony, a breathtaking retelling of the Christmas story with a celebrity narrator, the Disneyland Orchestra and the Disney Employee Choir. Following the Candlelight Processional and Ceremony, the party returns to Stage 17 where everyone will enjoy a sweet treat and a special "behind-the-candles" look at the history of holiday traditions at Disneyland, as well as the special care and work that goes into making the parks look their best for the season. Add in some D23 magic, and this is sure to be an once-in-a-lifetime experience!

December 10, 2009  D23’s Disney and Dickens

Join Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and fellow D23 Members for an evening of Dickensian delights at the historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood to experience the new Robert Zemeckis film Disney’s A Christmas Carol, starring Jim Carey, Bob Hoskins and an all-star cast in this new retelling of Charles Dickens’ timeless holiday favorite. After the movie, guests will head to a holiday feast at the legendary Tam O’Shanter restaurant in Los Angeles—a frequent hang out of Walt Disney and his animators. D23 Members will have the opportunity to see Walt’s table, take a look at the wonderful artwork created by Disney animators for the Tam, and be entertained by Dickens Carolers, as well as an ensemble from the Disney Employee Choir, who will sing their favorite Disney Christmas songs.

December 12 & 13, 2009  D23’s Magic & Merriment

For two days at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, D23 Members will have the opportunity to experience the holiday season as never before. The jolly happenings begin Saturday morning, December 12 inside the D23 Member Lounge in Epcot. D23 Members will get their first behind-the-scenes look at the holiday magic Disney creates including a glimpse at how the Resort transforms seemingly overnight from Florida paradise to winter wonderland. After a day enjoying the park, D23 Members will reconvene at the America Gardens Theatre to enjoy the perennial Christmas favorite, Candlelight Processional, narrated by the incomparable Vanessa Williams. Following the show, D23 Members will head to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a holiday feast on the set of Lights! Motors! Action! And after the park closes, D23 Members will enjoy one more signature ride before heading to the Streets of America for a private viewing of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights hosted by two of Walt Disney World’s top creative minds. Sunday takes D23 Members to the Magic Kingdom for a full day of holiday delights. The fun includes a private luncheon inside the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon, and a once-in-a-lifetime private tour of the Cinderella Dream Suite inside Cinderella Castle. That night, the festivities continue with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, which includes a private hospitality area with holiday treats. Add in reserved seating for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parade and a good helping of pixie dust and D23 Members will have a winter wonderland weekend to remember.

Here’s a little more about this movie from the L.A. Red Carpet Examiner:

In this particular movie of Wilmer’s show, Handy Manny (voiced by Valderrama) is ready to enjoy a family reunion. However, on his way to the reunion a few of his tool friends are missing after a stop for gas. The quick trip  turns into a motorcycle adventure as Manny must figure out where they are before heading out to his family reunion.

The premiere was full of fun events from a restaurant turned into a children’s playroom and balloon artist to fun gift bags that were given away at the end. The gift bags included a red Handy Manny hoodie, a cd and dvd, plus a book version of  "Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure."
