New update! The Mousetalgia team has theorized that C.V. Wood could be the cause of the recall. Listen to mark 1:01:00 - http://micechat.com/139514-mousetalgia-podcast-414-mickeys-halloween-party-retrospective-kevin-jody-sale/

I know that Walt and Woody were competing strongly with each other years after Disneyland. I wonder how much Woody's involvement with these World Chili Cookoffs were his attempts to continue that rivalry - Walt of course loved chili and had his own personal recipe for...

That's my feeling too but then it's also so strange how Disney has never acknowledged the guy who built Disneyland for Walt in all of 60 years. This guy was only accountable to Walt and worked on finding the location to build the park, overseeing the construction, and attaining the sponsors...

You are correct about that, it was the second theme park C.V. Wood worked on after Disneyland and was a failed attempt to mimic its success (the first he worked on was Magic Mountain in 1957). The only comprehensive book written about C.V. Wood was published this year by Todd James Pierce...

Rebecca Cline (Director of Disney Archives) and Steven Clark (D23 Founder) released the long anticipated "Walt Disney Studios: A Lot to Remember" on Sep 6 of this year. Then within hours the book was recalled and public appearances for signing of the book were cancelled. For the few who could...

You are correct! I try to keep my visits during the winter =)

I'm always there when it's super busy and the line extends into the heat though you are right that there are shady areas as you move closer to the building - http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M7g-DqB360E/UPOVyVHpQxI/AAAAAAAAKXo/aiTvTtLSp4w/s1600/hauntedmansioafternoon.jpg What a bummer that folks went...

I don't mind the queue but really wish Disney would add more shade for folks in line - especially for the kids that get quickly overheated. If my daughter's struggling public school can afford to buy tarps for the kids on the playground, I'm sure Disney can find some money lying around for the same.

I got hit with these post in my FB - https://www.facebook.com/orangewoodalbum/ Happy 60th Disneyland!! Anyone know who the kids are? everyone think they know in the post but not sure

This is one of the photos from the "Orangewood Album" - best vintage photo of the Castle ever

Yup, that's what I'm reminded of too. There are supposed to be 600 photos in the album so plenty to publish

Anybody have any information on the DL Orangewood Album? Specifically is there a place where all the photos have been published? I have been able to find six so far -...

I love teleportation like in Star Trek. Disney needs to do this, the ride mechanism to do it has already been figured out - https://www.google.com.na/patents/US8795095 Overall, TL does need more hard science fiction to bring back the excitement of what could really be right around the corner.

It was a great attraction because it was technologically different. I wish more attractions were technologically unique.

This is the newest Disney patent application and hints at a new technology for the Astro Orbiter. The link for the patent is http://www.google.com/patents/EP2438971A1?cl=en&dq=GRAVITY+SLIDE+RIDE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=DPBpUY7pM8TOrQGT3oHgAg&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAA.
