Disneyland Hotel The Early Years 1954-1988-Running Out

We have less than 100 copies left of this book and we are probably not going to do another reprint. If you want a copy, I would suggest ordering now. We are also shipping to Disney and they may place a multiple book order plus we just got an inquiry for 25 copies.




We do have an e-version in PDF if you are interested, just write and let us know.

Candlelight Ceremony and Processional 2014


My family was very blessed to have been invited to this once again. It was truly amazing.

A Disneyland® tradition that dates back to 1958 at the Disneyland® Resort, the Candlelight Ceremony and Processional was performed under the stars on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland® Park. This year, performances were scheduled twice nightly on Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7, 2014.

This holiday spectacular is a musical retelling of the story of “The First Christmas” through song and scripture, and features a mass choir as the centerpiece of the show. The Disneyland® Symphony Orchestra, fanfare trumpets, hand bell ringers and a guest celebrity narrator will join the choir in this joyous holiday tradition. The Candlelight Ceremony has featured a host of outstanding celebrity narrators in the past, including James Earl Jones, Cary Grant, Mickey Rooney, Marie Osmond, Dick Van Dyke, Jon Voight and Gary Sinise just to name just a few. This year, we had Beau Bridges as narrator.



While there, we ran into former Dodger manager and legend, Tommy Lasorda.
