Mickey's Soundsational Parade

I have always appreciated all the work Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily have done to walk in Uncle Walt's footsteps. Thanks to these two brilliant men, they have preserved some great Disney artifacts, but also given us wonderful Disney treasures. Additionally, they have created some fun things for us to see in the Parks, like one of my favorite parades, Mickey's Soundsational Parade.

 

Here are just a few examples of their influence, and work, on this fun parade.

Chewie, We’re Home.

This is a coded transmission thanking Resistance Fighters for smuggling me onto and off of Batuu for a couple of days this week. My secret mission was to meet up at Oga’s Cantina to get my ship operation credentials for Hondo Ohnaka’s business venture, and locate a Porg who would be a decoy. Along the way, I met up with some old friends of the Resistance. But I had to avoid First Order troopers before blasting back into hyperspace. Bright Suns and Rising Moons!

Plaza de la Familia

Hey, Mom and Pop. I was so lucky to be able to go to Disney's California Adventure two years in a row to remember you. Well, I remember you daily, but this tribute is extra special for us. I love and miss you so much!

Remember Me

"Remember Me" from Disney's 'Coco'

      Remember me
      Though I have to say goodbye
      Remember me
      Don't let it make you cry
      For ever if I'm far away
      I hold you in my heart
      I sing a secret song to you
      Each night we are apart
      Remember me
      Though I have to travel far
      Remember me

I was so excited that I was able to be at Disney's California Adventure as they celebrated Día de los Muertos for the first time. They had a beautiful Tree of Life, where I was able to honor my Mom and Dad. I sure hope Disney continues this event. Mom and Dad loved coming to Disneyland, and I was able to Remember Them at the Tree of Life.

My Favorite Dream

Probably a lesser-known Disney character that is still one I hold dearly is the Golden (or Singing) Harp from Disney's Fun and Fancy Free, the 1947 animation 'package' features, which was a collection of shorts. The big piece of trivia from this movie is it the last time Walt Disney himself would voice Mickey Mouse.

A few years ago, a few dear friends gave me the Walt Disney Classics Collection version of the Golden Harp. I just love her!

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine at Disneyland told me about pieces of his artwork that are being sold. When I saw his version of the Golden Harp, I knew I had found the backdrop to match the WDCC piece!

Back to My Roots

I've been buy way too many t-shirts lately. There are so many good ones! I saw this one today, and I did pass on a Lion King one I wanted. I just don't know if I really 'need' this one. I already know what my friends will say.

Time for Brackets

March Madness means a lot to some sports fans. I always lose at the traditional brackets, so I'm glad I've found two that I understand. Not that it helps me to win. Click on the links for the corresponding bracket to create your own. Disney will be releasing related branded merchandise soon!
