On this date in 1957, Shirley Temple takes part in the dedication of the Sleeping Beauty Castle
walk-through at Disneyland. In attendance is Walt Disney and Temple's
oldest daughter Linda, son Charles, and youngest daughter Lori. Shirley
Temple had previously presented Walt with an honorary Academy Award - one big
Oscar & seven little ones - for Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs. Let’s visit our castle, Cinderella Castle, and enjoy Cinderella’s
Royal Table or maybe the Bibbidi, Bobbidi Boutique.
On this date in 1813, Rubber is patented. We’ve
had a bit of this discussion before; you can’t even go to Walt Disney World
without rubber. Tires, belts, hoses, even attractions at the parks rely on
rubber. Let’s ride Test Track at EPCOT and experience the place where the
rubber meets the road (or, if you prefer, TRON Track, where the virtual rubber
meets the virtual road).
Quickies:
1852: First edition of
Roget’s Thesaurus was published. The thesaurus has helped hundreds of writers
say the same old thing in a different way. Ride It’s A Small World where you
hear the same song over and over in different languages and even see a bunch of
ways to say good-bye at the end.
1967: Aretha Franklin
releases “Respect.” Aretha was in The Blues Brothers so hit the House of
Blues and have a good time and a good meal.
Today is National
Dance Day. Yesterday was our Eighth Grade Dance. Go to Walt Disney World and
dance everywhere you go, there’s music so just get in the groove.
Remember, your best
excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
