ALONG WITH 15 OTHER GREAT PEOPLE, I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ONE OF THE ORIGINAL GROUP IN 1968. I FOUND THAT MY DANCE PARTNER AND THE CHOREOGRAPHER OF THIS GROUP, BARNETT RICCI, CONTINUED AS CHOREOGRAPHER FOR MANY, MANY YEARS SERVING ALL OF DISNEY'S PARKS. IT WAS A FUN CHAPTER IN MY LIFE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-91572887088899980522009-03-09T14:49:00.000-07:002009-03-09T14:49:00.000-07:00The most interesting thing about the Tomorrowland ...The most interesting thing about the Tomorrowland Stage is that the 1,200+ chairs were taken down and put up EVERY DAY so the area could be cleaned.Jason Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193194008194991219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-12884259868239070042009-03-09T11:17:00.000-07:002009-03-09T11:17:00.000-07:00My mother loved the sort of musical drivel that po...My mother loved the sort of musical drivel that poured out of the Kids of the Kingdom and we would always have to catch a show while at Disneyland. It was like heroin to her. My brother and I once seriously contemplated drowning ourselves in the submarine lagoon in order to escape "What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love" (even now it pains me to type the words). We ultimately thought better of our watery suicide pact, which you probably already surmised, since I am sitting here looking at vintage Disneyland pictures and not at the bottom of the" Finding Nemo" attraction, entertaining guests with my grimace of death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-78799558429243277202009-03-09T08:22:00.000-07:002009-03-09T08:22:00.000-07:00Music at Disneyland still my fondest memories of a...Music at Disneyland still my fondest memories of all.
