Disney's first cruise ship The Magic,
is christened!(It will embark on its maiden voyage two days later.)


and yesterdays quote of the day lol

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't." -Alice in Wonderland


todays day in disney history

1989:

Disney announces an agreement-in-priciple with Jim Henson to acquire
the merchandising, licensing, and publishing rights to the Muppets.
(Sadly, Henson will suddenly pass away in May 1990 causing the deal to temporarily end the following December.)

todays quote

"That's a piecrust promise. Easily made, easily broken." -Mary Poppins

fun fact of the day

Walt Disney's Private Apartment at Disneyland -

When Disneyland was being constructed Walt Disney wanted to be able to stay nearby to supervise. Anaheim where Disneyland is located was about an hour away from where he lived so Disney had an apartment built above the fire station on Main Street where he could spend the night.

Everyone knew when Walt was there because of the light left on in the window of the apartment. After Disney died a light has been left on in the apartment window in his memory. The apartment has been left the same way it was when he died but it isn't open for public viewing.

Next time you go to Disneyland look for the light on above the fire station. The fire station is located on Main Street near the entrance. The fire station like all of Main Street resembles what it would have looked like in 1910 Middle America complete with an old time fire engine and Dalmatian dog.

"...and contrarily wise, what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would." I love that Alice quote. Good stuff.
