Celebrating 100 Years of Disney and More at Disneyland
It was a privilege to experience Disneyland as it takes center stage in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Disney. This is what the 50th anniversary for Walt Disney World should have looked like! We chronicle all of this, but we also talk about other fantastic events happening. Rogers the Musical is really worth seeing, and San Fransokyo is well underway. Indiana Jones has been re-touched with more chills and thrills than I’ve ever seen in the many years I’ve been. And then there is the newly revised Mickey’s Toon Town. Join us as we canvas Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on this the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company!
