I can’t quite figure out what is going on here, but it appears that someone has collected a ton of home videos from various parks and streaming them 24×7 online. The video quality isn’t the best but there is uniqueness and realness about them.

This Donald Duck bust was created out of legos by a thirteen year old - he’s older now. There is also a bust of Goofy. Legos are way expensive. These must have cost a fortune to build.

Vintage Video of Disneyland in 1956

Josh — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 15:51:00 +0000

This is my favorite video on Disneyland. It’s long, but I enjoy every minute of it.

In July 1956, the five-member Barstow family of Wethersfield, Connecticut, won a free trip to newly-opened Disneyland in Anaheim, California, in a nationwide contest. This 30-minute amateur documentary film tells the fabulous story of their fun-filled, dream-come-true, family travel adventure, filmed on the scene at Walt Disney’s “Magic Kingdom” by Robbins Barstow.

One of the best parts of Disney taking ownership of the Disney Stores from the Children’s Place is Annual Passholder discounts in the store. From now until June 30th, you can save 15% off your purchase by showing your Annual Passport.

I’m not sure if this applies to the stores that are currently in the process of closing. I would guess not.

California Adventure’s Seasons of the Vine Video

Josh — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:08:06 +0000

The first time I took my wife to Disneyland and California Adventure, we watched this movie. I learned a ton about wine and wine making that stuck with me since that trip in 2001. I haven’t managed to get back to the vine yard in subsequent trips - never even considered taking the kids into it. Maybe next trip, I’ll make a special effort to see it again.
