Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Great Moments
Since we celebrate the birth of two of our country’s most beloved presidents, I thought it would be a good time to focus a little on Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. The show was sponsored by the state of Illinois and created for the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Great Moment
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Popcorn
How about a scavenger hunt at Disneyland? Let’s go looking for a snack. A salty snack found in a cart. OK, we’re not actually looking for popcorn, but the little guys in the popcorn cart. They are lovingly called popcorn people! And these little people have been roasting p
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Now Boarding
How about an interactive ride-simulator attraction where guests could choose the route of their vehicle? Sounds to me like an updated version of Horizons. But, it was the concept for an attraction based upon The Black Hole. Interesting thought, but after initial planning the decision
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Coming Up Roses
New Years would not be the same in our household without the college bowl games. I personally don’t care for football (gasp – a Native Texan who doesn’t like football?!?), but I do love the Tournament of Roses Parade. It’s one of the events to see on my bucket

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

Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Helium + String = Magic
“Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.” (1) . . . especially if it’s a Mickey balloon. As I was trying to decide what to blog about, my husband suggested Mickey Mouse balloons and I thought how fun. Boy was I wrong. There’s not a lot of information available
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper – Tickets Please
For years, I had known about the ticket booklets that were sold and used for the attractions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. You know, the reason great roller coasters are called “E Ticket Rides.” But, until our first trip to Disneyland in 1998, I had never given much
Tuesdays With the Timekeeper ~ A Real Fairy

Tuesdays with the Timekeeper – Finding Nemo’s Organ
One of the greatest steampunk novels ever written was turned into one of Disney’s best action films – 20,000 League Under the Sea. And, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful Victorian sets created. Harper Goff’s shark-like Nautilus, which was created to have the a

My sweet friend Lindsay of Life by Lindsay shared this adorable story of her two and a half year old daughter, Zane’s, first trip to Disneyland yesterday. And it is simply too cute not to share with all of you, so she was kind enough to allow me to reblog it here at Disney Mama
