Carousels and Merry-Go-Rounds* have been a staple at amusement parks since their introduction in the early-19th century. So, when Walt Disney created the most wonderful theme park in the world, he had to include one. Disneyland’s carousel, King Arthur Carrousel, was built by Wil
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Now Boarding

Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – All That Jazz
Animators. What do they do for hobbies? Their career would be considered a hobby by most of the world, right? Well, starting in the 40s, a group of Disney animators participated in a Dixieland jazz band – in their spare time. The group was call The Firehouse Five Plus Two. Fireh
