Back in the early 80s some of the Mouseketeers came back to Disneyland to do a reunion show...Bobby, Sherri, Sharon, Bonnie, Lonnie, Tommy, Don... and the lot... We had a great time...
The show went over so well the park brought them back again the next year... what Fun!!!
The show went through all the "Days" on the Mickey Mouse Show... "Fun With music day", "Guest Star Day",Talent round Up"...ect.
I was Goofy in the show and have to say these guys were a hoot! We worked hard
and Laughed harder! Darlene was one of my Faves!!!! She always had us rolling in laughter!
These are a couple of my favorite photos with her.

And you both look absolutely wonderful! Darlene was always my favorite, too, for her beautiful singing voice. Her sound was so rich, even at a young age, and, to me, she seemed more "grown up" than the other kids.
Thanks for sharing these rare images and your stories -- and I am REALLY looking forward to more from you! I'll link to you on my blog.

Wow, what great material! If Bobby and Sharon were the Mouseketeers' dancing dynamos, Darlene Gillespie was the undisputed singing sensation ( with due respect to Tommy for best male vocalist). For all that Annette was sweet and charming and had a very fun pop career, Darlene's recordings still stand the test of time. It's good to know that she had fun reliving her "Mousekareer" in your Disneyland shows!
Keep up the fun backstage posts!
