News and Notes, This and That
Welcome, and thanks again for taking time my thoughts and ramblings.
Today, I have some housekeeping to address instead of dropping some general Disney knowledge. As many of you have noticed, my postings have dropped from once a day to once every few days while I was on vacation. (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. Today, I want to focus on one of my pseudo-pet peeves.
It’s a question I get asked anytime I start talking about Disneyland: What’s your favorite ride at Disneyland?
The answer is: (more…)
Coming Attractions
Hi everyone, and welcome back to my thoughts and ramblings.
Today, something a little different. As you may have noticed, my postings have been less frequent over the past few days. (more…)
Big Bands at Disneyland
Hello, and welcome back to my thoughts and ramblings. Growing up, my favorite station on TV was The Disney Channel, if you haven’t figured that out by now. Even at five, going on six, I loved being able to see anything about Disneyland in particular, especially as we got closer to a family vacation to Anaheim. Any show would do. Even, and especially, Big Bands at Disneyland.
The series, hosted by Peter Marshall, was filmed at (more…)
I Want My D-TV
Welcome back, and thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts.
In 1984, a year after the premiere of The Disney Channel, D-TV was introduced as a five minute short between standard evening programming. Playing off of MTV music videos, D-TV was a classic oldie song mixed with Disney animation. (more…)
Walt Disney Home Movies
Friday Night! Home Movie Night in front of the TV and VCR! Uh…for those who don’t know:

Remembrances again and Honorings
Welcome back, and I thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts and ramblings.
As June 24 winds to a close, there are two occasions I want to recognize related to today. (more…)
Dear Disney Programming
Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts again today. Instead of Disney history today, a quick look at the process that inspired this blog. Last week I engaged on a Twitter discussion with some friends regarding Disney programming, which spawned this blog entry: http://confessionsofadisnerd.com/2013/06/21/lock-me-in-the-vault/
I posted a comment on that feed, which I also emailed directly to the Disney Company. Below are the comments I posted on Friday, as well as (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…)
Remembrances
Welcome back, thanks for taking the time to read.
As I stated previously, my goal here is to share and hopefully unlock the Disney Archives of historic material fans would enjoy seeing again (and again and again). To that affect, there are parts of the Disney Archives that cannot be seen again, as we already have 999 Grim Grinning Ghosts and cannot seem to increase that number.
On June 22, 1920 Paul Frees was born. (more…)
