Kids of the Kingdom

Here are some rare shots
of the "Kids of the Kingdom"

This first group of pics are from
Mickey Mouse's 50th Birthday tour.
Here are the "Kid's" performing
The show "The Disney Medley"
in Balboa park San Diego, Spring of 1978

He's a Tramp...

and Donald and Goofy bringing in
Mickey's Birthday Cake

These pics are shot over at the temporary stage
that was put up in the Small World area
during the construction of Space Mountain.
[taken Fall of '76 or Spring of '77]

Now we're over at the NEW Space Mountain Stage!

A friend gave me these pictures
and even though there a little blurry
It's still fun to look back at the LIVE shows
and performers that once entertained
millions...

Mickey's Night Before Christmas 1980

The year:Christmas1980
The Stage: The wonderful Space Stage below Space Mountain
The show: Mickeys Night Christmas

Twas the night before,
the night before... Christmas...
and all through the park,
Liver lips was primping,

The Bears hit their mark!

in the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies!"

but..
The Night Before Christmas,
and all through the park...
EVERYONE was dancing!
Especially 2 Mice, Santa Goofy,
the Kids of the Kingdom and
THE DANCING CHRISTMAS TREE!

Here's a great shot of the end of the show...
I really miss this stage...
This was taken at the first show of the day.

Mary Poppins wasn't in the show,
she just stopped by to wish "The Dancing Christmas Tree"
a Merry Christmas!
or as she would say
A Jolly Holiday!

Snow White and Prince Charming

Back during the 25th Anniversary of Disneyland
there was a show on the weekends, over on the Space Stage,
called The Disneyland Story...
In the show was Snow White and her Prince

Before the show the characters would do meet and greet
in Tomorrowland.

The easiest part in all the Christmas shows at Disneyland!

He was really the star of the Holiday season!
