Captain Eo to reopen Feb 23rd

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Captain Eo, starring Michael Jackson, a classic 3-D video that played in the Disney theme parks in the 1980’s, is returning to Disneyland starting February 23rd. This video from Disney interviews fans about their best memories of Captain Eo. For me, I was amazed by the 3-D effects, the dancing, and the music in the short movie. And I was not a big Michael Jackson fan! We are hoping to get to Disneyland in May to see Captain Eo once again.

Steam Trains at Disney Parks

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Watch the video below from Disney on the history of steam trains at the Disney parks. Interesting that Walt had a steam train setup around his house in the late 40’s, and that was a hint of things to come at Disneyland. We always try to ride the train at least once in our visits to the Magic Kingdom - how about you?
