Delayed Gratification

By Michael - January 30th, 2009

Doh!

As 2009 finds new and fascinating ways to stick it to me, news has just emerged that the impending release of the 5-disc CD set, Walt Disney and the 1964 World’s Fair, has been delayed due to production issues. Print samples of the packaging proved unsatisfactory, and they’re having to scrap that work […]

Woody’s Roundup 10-12-2008

By Michael - October 12th, 2008

I’ve been occupied with a bit of research lately, trying to cobble together something interesting as well as trying to ascertain what the current economic situation is going to mean for the tenuous future of many long hoped-for park enhancements. So I’ll let other writers do the heavy lifting, as I empty out my bookmarks […]

The collection is set for release on November 11th, 2008. Far from being unknown to Disney music […]

Rocket into Christmas with our special festive holiday spectacular featuring author/historians Steven Vagnini and Foxx Nolte! And we're giving away a copy of the new Disney A to Z! Jingle those bells! http://podcast.progresscityusa.com

Sad news today, as we have been told that former head of Walt Disney Attractions, Dick Nunis, has passed away at the age of 91.

One hundred years ago yesterday, the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio was founded in Los Angeles. What began under extremely humble circumstances eventually flourished, creating a cultural juggernaut which dominates the media landscape today.

Let’s return to EPCOT Center for a patriotic extravaganza like no other! Join us for a look at the creation of the groundbreaking attraction The American Adventure, and the history of Americana-themed spectacles that preceded it in the 19th and 20th centuries. Then take your seat for a history of the beloved singing group Voices of Liberty! Grab those rose-colored bifocals and spare a dime – it’s the Progress City Radio Hour!

Our 40th anniversary retrospective of EPCOT Center gathers one little spark of inspiration to make some memories! Follow Figment to the Dreamport as we explore the development of the classic attraction Journey into Imagination, and find out about previous Kodak promotions both at Disneyland and at the World’s Fairs. And fire up the filmstrip because we’re remembering the EPCOT Educational Media Company! Just an ordinary day, but all at once we’re on our way – it’s the Progress City Radio Hour!

If any of you Twitter refugees are looking for me, I can be found on the Sky of Blue as well....
