The NEW Mickey Mouse Club (1970s Edition)

Sometimes referred to as the Disco Mouse Club,

The 70s series is fondly remembered
by the kids that grew up with it...
other than when it originally aired
and a small syndicated run
this NEW Mickey Mouse Club is almost forgotten...
In the late 70s this group of "Mouseketeers"
performed a lot at Disneyland
doing Shows and Parades...
A friend recently gave me some photos
that he had taken of them Backstage and On stage...
Enjoy...

And the one who went on to star in "The Facts of Life"

Long Live Disco Mickey Mouse Club!

Tuesday Is Guest Star Day!

Today is Tuesday, you know what that means,
We're gonna have a special guest...

"Today's Guest Star: Goofy"

"Do I come out now?"

We recreated a Charleston number
that they had done on the Original MM club...
Goofy started off the number and then Lonnie came out...

Then Bonnie joined the fun

and by the end all the Mouseketters were on stage

I miss the old space stage...

Lonnie was suppose to wear the Raccoon coat.
but he couldn't dance in it...
So of course, give it to Goofy, with 22" shoes, no vision and
wearing a fiberglass head...
Here a close up...

This was one of my favorite numbers...
Bonnie was a Doll!

Today is Tuesday, you know what that means,
We're gonna have a special guest
So get out the broom and sweep the place clean
And dust off the mat so the welcome can be seen.
Roll out the carpet, strike up the band,
And give out with a Hip, Hooray! (Hip, Hooray!)
Wiggle your ears like good Mouseketeers
We're gonna present a guest today
'Cause Tuesday is "Guest Star Day!

Happy Tuesday!

Mouseketeers ...and Darlene...

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.
