Golfing with Goofy!

The year 1980

One day a friend told me her parents were coming to visit from back east
and her Dad was an avid Golfer...

She was performing in a show over on the west side of the park,
and had a parking space behind The Haunted Mansion...
Her dad's clubs where in her car,
so on my lunch break I got Goofy's Golf outfit and
we surprised her dad with a Golf lesson from Goofy!

To say the least, this made his day!!!

Sad, but I bet today I'd be in BIG trouble for doing this!
It's the little things that make people happy!

DUCKTALES Promotional Tour 1987

DUCKTALES!
Back on the road again in 87'
This time with Launchpad and Scrooge McDuck!
for the new series on T.V.

It was a Fun tour,
We traveled with the voice of Scrooge,
Alan Young,
and it was great listening to the the stories
of how he became involved with Disney
and wound up as Scrooge!
and I had to ask about when he played Wilber on "Mr. Ed"
Such a Great Guy!!!

Here's the stickers we gave out:

Target Market Tour 1987

The year was 1987
I supervised a tour to Canada,
Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Winapeg,
with conjunction with the Hudson Bay Stores...
We took Stacia Martin doing her sketch show
and a small version of the Sword and the Stone show
[with Merlin and a court jester]
and of corse the fab 5.
We did Promos at local TV stations and Hospitals
and shows and Meet and Greets at the Malls...
here are some shots of a Hockey half time show
that Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy did...
This was totally unplanned...
at the last minute they asked if the characters could do something...

as we were leaving the hotel Goofy grabbed his pillows
off his bed and brought them with him to the rink...
Funny Stuff!!!

This just shows what talented characters we had back then!
they could do ANYTHING!!! at a moments notice!
I was very proud of them!!!
Those were the days!!!

Santa's Little Helper!

O.K.
The biggest laugh I got this Christmas
was with the help of Tinkerbell!
While shopping at Disneyland over the holidays
I ran across this Tink Christmas Ornament!
Made by Lenox
Titled: "Santa's Little Helper"
I couldn't believe no one caught this...

Hope you all had a great holiday...

we know Tink did!!!

The Small One

Here a Press Release from 1978

of the Disney Christmas movie

The Small One

Here Comes Santa Claus!

*Here's a shot from 1988*

We shot a commercial in front of the castle

that day and boy was it HOT!

If you look close you'll see Elves on top of the castle!

Funny thing about this was we shot footage for the commercial and then

the same footage showed up on the Disney

Christmas Sing-a -Long VHS

for the song " Here Comes Santa Claus"

and also for this print ad for AAA

Here we are on the road in singapore

having fun backstage...

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!
