I can’t quite figure out what is going on here, but it appears that someone has collected a ton of home videos from various parks and streaming them 24×7 online. The video quality isn’t the best but there is uniqueness and realness about them.

This is my favorite video on Disneyland. It’s long, but I enjoy every minute of it.

In July 1956, the five-member Barstow family of Wethersfield, Connecticut, won a free trip to newly-opened Disneyland in Anaheim, California, in a nationwide contest. This 30-minute amateur documentary film tells the fabulous story of their fun-filled, dream-come-true, family travel adventure, filmed on the scene at Walt Disney’s “Magic Kingdom” by Robbins Barstow.

Check out the Cheetah Girls as they ride Expedition Everest. They are definitely having fun! Thanks to Lauren for point us to this video.

Bummer: The video has been taken down.

The first time you see the Turtle Talk with Crush show, you will be in awe. Watching this video shows a little bit of how that magic is made.

This video shows off the Walt Disney Museum in Walt Disney World’s MGM.

From freedogshampoo:

This special aired on September 11th 1957.
Walt Disney had always wanted to make a film based on the Oz stories. In 1954, when the movie rights to various Oz books became available, Walt purchased them. Soon, scripts were written for a movie in “Widescreen, color, the works..” But for some reason it was never made. Pretty incredible how much they hyped it.

This is an interesting take on the whole Tea Cups ride idea. It’s very similar to Francis’ Ladybug Boogie in Disney’s California Adventure. I hope they don’t make it part of the DCA expansion - the whole new Cars area - as that would be pretty redundant.

Posts have been a little sparse this week and last. This has been because I’ve been working on a new site feature - The Disney Video Browser. It allows you to view Disney related videos quickly and easily on this site. You can choose from a few keywords I’ve set up, or enter your own search term. You will then see a list of YouTube videos - specific to Disney - that match your keyword.

Once you select a video, you will be taken to page to play the video.

My favorite feature is on the play page, you will see a list of tags for that video. These are tags that were added by the owner of the video. You can then click on one of those tags and see a new list of videos. You can spend a lot of time browsing videos in this manner.

I have many ideas on where to take this next, but check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Do these guys have names?

The Village Haus Restaurant is filled with Pinocchio murals. This one is on the wall by the seating area.

Last month I posted about my friend Robert’s trip to Epcot and how that meant I had to go to the desert. On Sunday, I repaid my debt. It was hot, dry, lacked churros, but was fun. If your interested, you can read about it on my other blog.
