Tales From The Mouse House Disneyland Podcast...Episode 75


Welcome to Tales From The Mouse House Disneyland Podcast, Episode 75 (really...not like last time), our Video tribute to the Disney D23 Expo! 
2011 Disney D23 Expo!


On this video episode, we share some highlights from the 2011 Disney D23 Fan Expo in Anaheim, California! We figured since the 2013 Expo was in full swing, AND since we couldn’t attend, we’d share some of the fun times we had at the last Expo to happen in California. We had a lot of fun, and yep, we were TIRED at the end of every day. But...FUN. 

History Of The Disneyland Hotel
One of the panels we went to, and include a small bit of it in this episode, was the Amazing Vault Discovery! A History of the Disneyland Hotel. This was an AWESOME presentation to say the least. We were shown some never before seen video of the grand opening of the Disneyland Hotel, which was broadcast on television! We saw cool things like the shopping mall inside, the comfy beds AND...the GIANT 13 inch televisions in EVERY ROOM! Now, we do have the complete presentation (which was about an hour long!) on video. Just check out Minnie MouseCast 11 for that. 
John Lassiter announcing the Pixar Stamps

Although we couldn't get into every panel we wanted to during the 2011 D23 Expo, we did see quite a few. It was awesome getting a sneak peak at Disney's Prep and Landing Christmas special, and seeing John Lassiter presented with the official Pixar U.S. Postage Stamp series. We were even given one of the pre-release stamps! LOVE SWAG!! 
Great friends and authors, Nancy Rodrigue and David Smith

We were granted one press credential for the 2013 Disney D23 Expo, but unfortunately we were not in a position to make the trip (if you follow us at all you all know about our "life" upheaval back in March of this year). BUT...we WERE able to transfer our credentials to the wife of our awesome sponsor Randy Crane, Faye, who is covering the Expo for Tales From The Mouse House! She's been feeding us daily summaries, and will be writing up a complete Expo Rundown for us soon. AND, lucky YOU, she'll be joining us on an upcoming episode to discuss all the wonderfully magical experiences she had! So..be sure to stay tuned for that!

Tales From The Mouse House...Episode 67

Dapper Days 2013

Welcome to episode 67! As we said at the beginning of the year...we’re offering up some out of the normal episodes in 2013 and THIS episode is ONE OF THOSE! On this PACKED FULL episode (yeah, it’s LONG), we share two awesome interviews and a terrific review from our GREAT Disney friend Mr. Daps! First up, our recent chat with Michele Morabito about her experiences at the Dapper Days event at Disneyland. This is one cool "unofficial but recognized" Day to behold. Imagine visiting Disneyland when Walt himself walked the Resort. Everyone dressed up in their "Sunday Best". Well, THAT'S what Dapper Days is like! Guests wearing awesome period outfits, from the 1940's and 50's. Michele describes her visit and her lucky breakfast at Club 33!

Then, our great friend Mr. Daps is joined by Murray The Bell Hop and Roger Rabbit to discuss their coverage of the all new Fantasy Faire in Fantasy Land (Disneyland). Talk about adding a bit of fairytale magic to your Disneyland Resort vacation...recently Disney did JUST that! And Daps Magic was there for the scoop, and shares with us!

Then, if all THAT weren’t enough, Joyce turns the microphone on me and author David Smith and we discuss Dave’s awesome new book, In The Shadow of the Matterhorn: Intimate Stories about Life, Love and Laughter at Disneyland - his behind the scenes look at Disneyland from a cast members perspective! Then, we launch an awesome new contest that can put YOU in the Shadow Of The Matterhorn!
