Walt “Quote” Wednesday

Welcome to Walt "Quote" Wednesday on the Walking Down Main Street, U.S.A. blog. Each Wednesday, I’ll share a random quote from Walt Disney from various sources such as books, websites, etc. Great care will be taken to ensure the sources are reliable and the quote is accurate and real.

"Disneyland will always be building and growing and adding new things . . . new ways of having fun, of learning things and sharing the many exciting adventures which may be experienced here in the company of family and friends"

From "Welcome to Disneyland," The Story of Disneyland, Souvenir Guide Book, 1955 (Walt Disney.)

Angels - Disneyland Double Header

Back on April 15, 1967 you could have seen the California Angels play the Cleveland Indians at 3:00 PM and then head over to Disneyland for the night for really cheap. For $5.00 or $6.00 depending on how good you wanted your seats to be you got to see a game and then ride on unlimited attractions, see special entertainment and meet the Angels players, KMPC DJ’s and KTLA personalities.

I am not sure if they ever had another Angels - Disneyland Double Header but sounds like a fun day! Maybe an idea for an After Dark baseball themed event in the future. 

The Angels lost to the Indians, 4-1 in 10 innings that day. Even with the extra inning, the game ended right around 6:00 PM. That was plenty of time to make your way over to Disneyland to finish off the night. 

Jason’s Disney Movie Review - Peter Pan & Wendy

The next movie in my quest to watch and review all the movies and films made by Disney is the 2023 Disney+ release 'PETER PAN & WENDY.' Not sure how long this will take or if I will be able to complete it but I am going to have some fun trying and hopefully watch some some great movies! All the movies and films will be chosen at random and right now come from the Walt Disney Pictures library which will include Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar movies as well as the True-Life Adventure movies. It will not include at this time movies and films from Touchstone Pictures or Hollywood Pictures or from any of the studios that were acquired by The Walt Disney Company such as Marvel Studios, LucasFilms and 20th Century Studios to name a few. Those may come later. My goal is to post at last one review a week and possibly more in some weeks. For each movie I review I will include some basic information such as release dates, synopsis, cast and crew as well as my thoughts and a rating or score that can be used to put together my all-time favorite Disney movie list.
