Welcome, Foolish Mortals
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts and ideas. In keeping with my goal of discussing Disney films and shows that need to be either re-released on Blu-Ray and DVD (more…)
Big Bands Update
Amazon is a great tool, isn’t it, my friends? If you recall, earlier this month I wrote about Big Bands at Disneyland and lamented that the show is not currently available (more…)
Come Back, Teddi Barra
Hello, and welcome back to my thoughts. Today, I step away from looking at Disney classic films and shows. Instead, a long lost classic attraction, something replaced with… (more…)
Happy birthday? Happy Anniversary?
Today is July 17. What oh what am I going to write about today? Yes, I think I shall. Lets look at the 58th anniversary of the dedication of Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
Just one year and a day after Walt Disney announced to a national television audience, Walt Disney presented his park to a list of invited friends, dignitaries, and gate crashers (the third group seldom gets noticed). (more…)
My Favorite Disneyland Attractions Is…
Hello, and welcome to my Disney thoughts. I appreciate you taking a few moments of your day to read my thoughts and ramblings.
I’m stepping out of my traditional subject of Vault Disney, in that I’m not looking at Disney television shows that are no longer available to watch on television. I’m also not going to be pushing Disney to create a separate channel for classic Disney shows like Wonderful World of Disney or Mickey Mouse Club.

Even, and especially, Big Bands at Disneyland.
The series, hosted by Peter Marshall, was filmed at (more…)
In Line for a View
Hello, and thanks for stopping by! Today I want to focus on one of the shortest-lived, and long forgotten attractions at Disneyland, the Viewliner.
On June 26, 1957, the Viewliner train began operating on two tracks inside Disneyland. The lines were known as “the fastest miniature train in the world” and had single-circuit stations in Fantasyland and in Tomorrowland. (more…)
Disney’s Michael Jackson Tribute
Hello, and thanks for stopping by again. This is place where I look back at the way Disney was in the past, how how it could look in the future. My goal is to focus on broadcast shows, park attractions and the people who helped shape both.
On September 18. 1986 Captain EO opened at Disneyland inside Tomorrowland in the Magic Eye Theater. It starred Michael Jackson in the title role, with (more…)
Audio-Animatronics Advancements and Archival Acheivements (Alliteration, an awesome aide)
Adventureland, June 23, 1963: Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room opened at Disneyland.
Significant for several reasons, the first being this is being written on the 50th anniversary of the opening. Secondly, this is the first attraction in Disneyland to use Audio-Animatronics, created by Disney’s Imagineering department. (more…)
