On this date in 1925, Bill Hayes was born in
Harvey, Illinois. My wife has a cousin named Bill Hayes but as far as I know
there is no relation. When I was a kid I saw Bill Hayes every day because he
played Doug Williams on the number one soap opera in the neighborhood, Days of Our Lives. But before Doug
became famous on the soaps he was famous as a singer, earning a gold record for
recording “The Ballad of Davy Crockett.” Hayes also recorded “Wringle, Wrangle”
for the Disney movie Westward Ho, The
Wagons. Let’s go to Frontierland and soak up the western atmosphere.
One month before I was born, in 1961, Mary Kay
Bergman was born in Los Angeles, California. Mary Kay did a lot of voice work.
She was almost every female voice on South
Park, she was in Beauty and the
Beast, Mulan, Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp’s Adventure and until her death
in 1999, she was the official Snow White. Wow! Easy choices for honoring Mary
Kay Bergman: Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, The Beauty and the Beast stage show
at Hollywood Studios and the China pavilion at EPCOT where you can usually find
Mulan.
Jeff Garlin is born on this date in 1962. Garlin
is the voice of Captain McCrea in WALL-E,
Buttercup in Toy Story 3 and Otis
in Cars II. Let’s hit Toy Story
Midway Mania at Hollywood Studios in honor of Jeff.
Quickies:
1882: Igor Stravinsky, the Great Russian
composer, was born. Walt used “The Rite of Spring” in Fantasia. Igor was not happy. Sometimes visions clash but let’s
enjoy Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios and wish Igor well.

This is Hot Air
Balloon Day. The Montgolfier brothers sent up an unmanned balloon, you can go

excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
