On this day in 1906, George Sanders was born in
St. Petersburg, Russia. Even though he was born in Russia, he was born to
British parents and in 1967 he became the voice of Shere Khan the Tiger in
Disney’s adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The
Jungle Book. You need to visit the Animal Kingdom where you can see any
number of tigers and perhaps even meet Shere Khan.
Maybe Saber-tooth Tigers here?
Marcellite Garner was born on this day in 1910
in Redlands, California. Marcellite worked for Disney in the ink and paint department
until, in 1929, it was discovered that she had a unique voice that lended
itself perfectly to… Minnie Mouse. Garner voiced Minnie Mouse from 1929 until
1939. Just look for Minnie at Walt Disney World, Chef Mickey’s is a perfect,
guaranteed spot.
July 3, 1886, Karl Benz drives his first
automobile. Eventually the Daimler-Benz Company will develop an elite car, the
standards of which were determined by one of their engineers. The elite car was
named after the ten-year-old daughter of the engineer. Her name was Mercedes.
Celebrate today’s event by driving at the Tomorrowland Speedway. It’s a long
line for a short drive.
July 3, 1962, Tom Cruise was born in Syracuse,
New York. Tom’s done some good work: Risky
Business, Jerry McGuire, Rainman, Mission Impossible. Tom has taken his
daughter, Suri, to Walt Disney World. I hope they had a great time. I’m sure
they did because they were able to stay in Cinderella Castle. Wow. Seriously, Tom
Cruise is one of the very few public figures that I would like to have a
serious conversation with. I am 361 days older than him. Celebrate the secret
agent with some Agent P action at EPCOT.
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting
for your dreams to come true.
