Mary Blair for the win! I know all the other women were pioneers, but she's a legend! I wish more people knew about her.

This is just wonderful. Great work Disneyland Beat team! Went to the Downtown Disney District yesterday for lunch and some World of Disney shopping. I visited the esplanade and looked at Disneyland and California Adventure. An orchestral version of Brave's Touch the Sky was playing. I just burst out crying. It just hit me on such an emotional level. I think there's going to be a lot of crying on re-opening day.

ABSOLUTELY our tears will flow, what a release it will be! We hope it was cathartic for you!! Thank you for the kind words and the update!!!

@@TheDisneylandBeat Awwwww, thanks TDB team! I had Grand Californian reservations for this weekend. I was so close and just couldn't be there. The first weekend in October has been a Disneyland Resort tradition with my friends for almost 10 years. Thankfully I had on reflective Ray Bans and there weren't many people around. A cast member saw my slumped shoulders and waved at me. Because of this video one of the first things I do is ride It's a Small World (it may be >10 years since I've been on in the Disneyland version).

We don’t always ride it, we do often but we always try to stop and see the clock chime in the hour!

@@TheDisneylandBeat Okay full disclosure...'Im not going on that ride! But I do love the facade and the clock! Thanks again for everything you're doing for the SoCal Disneyland community!

Thanks so much. So much about Disney and sexism and his other political views but his vision brought and continues to bring incalculable joy to so many, young and old. When Disney KNEW someone had talent and was a good human, everything else went out the window!

The thing what inspired me are hounds from bambi, they look so realistic and realisticly animated, the scene where grey dog almost catching faline always stuns me like wolf hunting elk Here 3:11

28000 cast members laidoffs right now

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

Hi! Our hearts go out to the every Cast member, we hope Disney can re-hire and soon! Cast members have made every day we have had in Disneyland better, made them special. And not because they were obligated to do it, but because they choose to do it. We love you cast members. Thank you.
