The World Disney World Happy Easter Parade 1985 – 1999

SamsDisneyDiary 900 Views, , ,

The first of many annual Walt Disney World Happy Easter Parade television specials aired on ABC on April 7, 1985. The First Parade was hosted by Rick Dees and Joan Lunden. In 1986 the Walt Disney World Easter Parade appeared as part of The CBS Easter Parade (March 30, 1986), which switched between the Walt Disney World parade and one on Fifth Avenue in New York City.  The 1988 parade was hosted by Joan Lunden, Alan Thicke, and Regis Philbin. The telecasts continued for 15 years until 1999.  The final installment of the parade was hosted by Caroline Rhea and D.L. Hughley.  We broke out our VCR, converted what we could, and have them all here for you to enjoy.

Disney Movie Magic | Walt Disney World | Hollywood Studios | Projection Show | 2022 | Live Action

SamsDisneyDiary 1079 Views,

The Hollywood that never was, but always will be…that’s the theme behind Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios.  It’s also the theme for the Movie Magic Projection Show that debuted earlier in 2017.
The show starts with an announcer proclaiming… Welcome to Hollywood, not a place on a map but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine, a place where illusion and reality are fused by technological magic.  We welcome you to a Hollywood that never was and always will be.”
Movie Magic recently returned to Hollywood Studios with some slight modifications from the original, this recording is from April 2022.
[embedded content]
Disney Movie Magic lasts about 10 minutes and is the first stand-alone projection at the park.  Is it a sign of things to come?  Absolutely, and an easy way to showcase new properties like Guardians of the Galaxy, and a way to feed the cult following of other properties like Tron and The Nightmare Before Christmas in a way that makes sense.  You can even throw in Walt Disney audio and a cameo of Tom Hanks portraying Walt from Saving Mr. Banks, and it feels right.

SamsDisneyDiary 824 Views, , , ,

I have been extremely fortunate to be able to participate in select media events at Walt Disney World. Collecting content and interviews to share with you! And I am grateful for your support in watching and subscribing to this channel. Every once in a while, those media events include a “special reception”. For the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, 2022 festival 2022 media was treated to a Garden Reception in the United Kingdom Pavilion of Epcot’s World Showcase. That reception includes background music from some of the most talented entertainers I’ve seen in some time. While most consider them background, I consider them a huge part of the evening. Of course, I leveraged by equipment to record the reception, so I could enjoy the music and share it with you this time on Sam’s Disney Diary. Consider it background music for your next dinner party!
