Tue 5/16/2006 10:38a | >>Wow, we have something in common. MY first visit to Disneyland was also in 1990. I had been to WDW before that, back in 1975 (I was just a toddler though, don't remember much), and 83.<<
Come to think of it, you two look alike..down to the silky straight dark hair. Hmmm... Moreso.. hard for me to imagine a "toddler" Mr X. |

Tue 5/16/2006 5:46p | Well, I was trying not to give away my horribly advanced age there...but truth is, I'd just turned 4.
Got a GREAT picture of me and "old school" Mickey Mouse somewhere.
And no, Lee and I look NOTHING alike! >:( |

Mon 9/17/2007 7:38p | TDLFAN wow, I became a CM in 1980 and did THIS VERY PARADE. There was also the Birthday Party show in front of the Castle as well as the Disney World Is Your World Kids of the Kingdom show.
"It's a birthday
What a Party,
It's a feeling
That's inside of us
Come and Join us
We're waiting for you
Let us make you
Ten again!" |

Mon 9/17/2007 8:48p | GREAT!!! I used to love the Tencennial Birthday show at the Castle..
"here is the BAND!! Here is the Ba..and!!"
..And "Disney World is your World" is my all time favorite show at the MK.
The MK has not seen a better entertainment lineup since then.

It's interesting that Disney used a song from the Broadway musical "Barnum" in that parade. "Come Follow the Band". It's a cute song. |

Wed 9/19/2007 8:10a | Yeah, it was actually for the Birthday Party show, not the Parade. And once when the band walked off stage due to a light rain, you could still hear the click track playing and we spoofed the words as "Hear the tape, hear the tape"
Disney borrowed from other Non-Disney sources too. The next year they opened a new Christmas show called Sparkling Christmas Spectacular. It featured many, many songs from the musical Scrooge. They were slightly modified to fit the Disney theming, it was a tremendous show. |

I guess there's some friends of Dorothy's in entertainment then?
