These attractions were able to return with the social distancing mandate expiring for California, allowing the tighter spaces and indoor areas to accommodate enough guests, allowing them to open. – https://www.micechat.com/294078-disneyland-update-the-rush-to-fully-reopen/ Some changes have come to Avengers Campus since it opened at the resort just over a week ago. Showtimes for the Avengers character encounters have been added to the Disneyland mobile app, in order to allow guests to plan ahead and not wait in the land for hours waiting for the encounters to happen. – https://www.micechat.com/294016-simple-avengers-campus-fixes-on-the-way-showtimes-publish-today/ Some dining changes have come to Avengers Campus. Shawarma Palace has been removed from mobile order all together, more standby capacity was added to Pym Test Kitchen, and mobile orders can only be made inside the land. Previously, some guests could mobile order outside of the area, and then use the order to gain access, but this is no longer allowed. Having guests place orders while already in the area also allows for the mobile order windows to last a lot longer and not be completely full in the morning for the entire day. – https://www.micechat.com/294078-disneyland-update-the-rush-to-fully-reopen/ The Disney Food Blog tested out the WEB Slinger Power Band to see if it was worth the price if you wanted to use it on the attraction. Basically, having a power band will give your web slinging a power up and gain more points, but it doesn't really affect the enjoyment of the attraction, unless you want to get the high score. Guests wanting to be the top of the leader board will need to have one of these to score the highest points possible. Unless topping the leader board is worth $60 to you, then these aren't a must have item. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/06/11/does-60-really-make-a-difference-on-web-slingers-at-disneys-avengers-campus/ Starting on June 18th, the Toy Story Parking lot will be open for guests again. Busses will be running between the resort transportation plaza and the parking lot, which hopefully means that the Mickey and Friends tram will also be making a comeback soon! – https://www.micechat.com/294078-disneyland-update-the-rush-to-fully-reopen/ Some photo ops have come to Downtown Disney this week. One of the ops is from the Hulu original Love, Victor, the other is based on Spider-Man! – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/06/13/whats-new-at-disneyland-resort-avengers-campus-opening-and-a-new-color-trend/ Of course with summer on the way, there is a summer treat that has returned to the resort. The Watermelon Seasonal Apple has arrived at Trolley Treats in Disney California Adventure for $11.99. This variation on the classic features a Granny Smith apple with caramel, white chocolate and watermelon flavored coating, and marshmallow ears. There is a strong watermelon flavor, so if you are a fan of that, this is for you. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2021/06/10/review-a-disneyland-caramel-apple-has-a-fun-flavor-combo/ Beginning in January, 2022, students can enroll in a new set of workshops presented by Disney. Disney Imagination Campus will be a collection of workshops across a range of performing arts and academic subjects tiered to different grade levels. These workshops are geared to helping students learn how to apply their imaginations to solve a lifetime of challenges – in wildly creative ways.

Let's parade down Main Street USA in Disneyland. This week we explore the Disneyland Band origins and a postcard sent to Seattle from a couple who had quite the Hollywood experience.

Enjoy a trial run of the Off Harbor & Main Podcast - Time and Place Series. We wanted to try something a little different where we simply play some recorded audio from the parks. It's nothing inventive here, but I thought today was fitting to play some classic audio from Disneyland's Flag Retreat with the original Disneyland Band as we honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice.

Bass trombonist Robert Sander's training included four great teachers, Don Kimble, Jeff Reynolds, Robert Simmergren and Roy Main. His professional career began with the Disneyland Band, which provided a great learning opportunity that developed into a long, established career in the Los Angeles area. Bob performed for 30 years with the Pacific Symphony, 24 years as a founding member of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, 12 years in the Composers Brass Quintet, and a decade or so in Hoyt Bohannon’s garage on Tuesday nights. He has played on a freelance basis for 45 years; including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, hundreds of motion picture and television scores, and in theater, ballet and opera pits. He has been a member of the Bill Watrous Refuge West Band, the Jack Sheldon Orchestra, the Jimmy Cleveland Orchestra and did two tours subbing with the west coast iteration of the Toshiko Akioshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band. He is presently retired from low brass performance, serves as president of Local 7, American Federation of Musicians, and has taught trombone at California State University, Fullerton for more than three decades; where he co-founded (with Jeannie Little and Alex Iles) Trombone Day in 2004. Bob is a Greenhoe Artist.

What’s better than the Disneyland Band or the Dapper Dans? How about the Disneyland Band and the Dapper Dans at the same time!!!! YES, it’s true, and it happens every day at Disneyland! Be sure to check your Times Guide and look for the Disneyland Band and the Dapper Dans performance that starts at the same time (12:30 for this video). The Disneyland Band starts right in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and the band marching through the castle to form a performance line is a wonderful sight. They kick right off with a medley of Disney Classics, including A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes, performed only as the Disneyland Band can. The band is joined by Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Chip, Dale, Mickey and Minnie for the Most Magic March on Earth from the castle right down Main Street USA, led by Mickey of course. Who could that be halfway down Main Street USA? That’s the Dapper Dans in the middle of their 12:30 performance, but who can resist a parade? The Dapper Dans join right in marching the rest of the way to Town Square where the Disneyland Band, Dapper Dans, and Mickey and all his friends perform on the steps of the Main Street Train Station; indeed, “Welcome to our family time!” Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for more.

#98: Rockin with the Disneyland Band The Disneyland Marching Band has been a staple of Disneyland’s Main Street USA since opening day in 1955.   Leading up to Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary in 2015, Disney set out to “Liven up the Band”, and “Reimagine” the Disneyland Band guest experience.  They increased the number of band members to 18 and increased the number of performances throughout the day.  Check your Times Guide.   Just before the 60th Anniversary celebration in 2015, Disneyland announced that the Disneyland Band would be premiering a new sound with new musical arrangements and themed performances along with a high-energy choreography, bringing a new level of entertainment to Disneyland guests. With all of the 60th Anniversary events, it was easy to miss that announcement.  It took me just about 2 years to catch the full impact!   And boy did I!  On a recent trip, I noticed the Disneyland Band marching from Tomorrowland through the hub toward It’s a Small World.   Naturally, I grabbed my camera and followed along, right behind the legendary Disneyland Band bass drum.   All I can say is, I was absolutely blown away by the performance.  Disney did indeed “Liven up the Band”.  With three unique sets, the band covered Pirates of the Caribbean, Tangled and Star Wars!  I had a front row seat with camera rolling; the perfect location, with It’s a Small World in the distance, the Disneyland Band turned the walkway into their stage.  The chorography was outstanding, with every member of the band giving it their all.  I only hope the video captures the sights and sounds of the Disneyland Band. Thanks for listening, thanks for watching and be sure to check out www.samsdisneydairy.com and www.thedisneynerdspodcast.com

Being a Disney Imagineer is probably every Disney fan's dream job.  Today we talk with Kyle, a former Imagineer who lays out ... How to be a Disney Imagineer But first ... Jeremy from SpectroRadio takes us through the history of the Disneyland Band. Then we talk to Kyle, who was on the Imagineering team tasked with layout out the groundwork on Disney Shanghai.  The man was a wealth of information, and talked about   loads of stuff, including Tower of Terror and the reasons behind that change. Feedback happens, and then Fact of the Show.  Pretty standard. See you in the parks!

Season 9 of The Mouse Lounge continues to serve up single and double shots of Disney spirits! Today, a single shot of the (new) Disneyland Band!  Say what you will about their Main Street USA crib of the All American College Band, (and you've been VERY vocal) but despite their "diaper" status this is a crackerjack group of musicians (I'd say "men", except there is ONE female in this particular performance group) particularly worthy of listening to when they break free of the funnel and find their way into Frontierland.   Your Host: Gary Chambers (805) 270-5785 The Mouse Lounge http://www.mouselounge.com

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This week, the Mouse Lounge reveals the magic of melody in Disneyland! But first, we go Behind the Mickey Bar, as Liana and I talk about the new Cars Land, the just opened Jolly Holiday Bakery, Castmember beards, Fastpass, and more. Next, a Mouse Lounge Special Feature:  The BBCs Russell Davis looks at how the archives have treated to the two faces of Walt Disney.  Uncle Walt, who brought laughter and pleasure to millions, and… the rather tough businessman and social engineer.  Enjoy the second of a five part series, Double Disney.   Then, from the Disney Archives:  Based on the Oscar winning cartoon, “Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom” comes a marvelous record narrated by the unmistakable Thurl Ravenscroft.  From the 1963 Disneyland Record DQ-1232, have a listen to “A Child’s Introduction to the Instruments of the Orchestra”.  Don’t let the title fool you; this record was lavishly produced.  It’s hard to believe this mini masterpiece landed in the kiddy records bin.   Then, from Vault Disney:  We focus on the music of two Silly Symphonies from the thirties.  The first is “Music Land” from 1935 and “The Woodland Café” from 1937.  Both are perfect examples of the use of music to further the narrative, and are just great fun to listen to.  I’ll provide a description of the of the plot for Music Land, so you can better follow along.   Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.  Did you know that Disneyland boasts ten different live performance groups that play in all four corners of the park?  This episode, you’ll get to hear from every one of them!  You’ll hear, the Main Street Piano Player, The Dapper Dans,  Hook and Ladder Company, the Straw Hatters, Billy Hill and the Hillbillies, Farley the Fiddler, The Bootstrappers, The Jambalaya Jazz Band, The Royal Street Bachelors,  and The Pearly Band.  Plus, you’ll hear special performances recorded on Fat Tuesday of the New Orleans Jazz Band, The Bayou Bash featuring Princess Tiana, and the Disneyland Band performing it’s full noontime concert with the theme, “Sunday in the Park”.    Gary Chambers (805) 270-5785 The Mouse Lounge http://www.mouselounge.com Subscribe to our write a review about the Mouse Lounge Podcast: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=180696323  

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) In this episode, the Mouse Lounge salutes America… Disney style!  Each week, in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record.  This week, from the 1980 Disneyland Record #2511 “Yankee Doodle Mickey” have a listen to Mickey and the gang performing You’re a Grand Old Flag and the Armed Forces Melody.  Listen carefully, that’s Wayne Allwine as Mickey, three years before he officially inherited the roll from Jimmy McDonald in Mickey’s Christmas Carol.   Yankee Doodle Mickey was given the CD treatment in 2002.  While several songs from the original LP were removed, at the time The American Adventure hosted an a capella group called, “American  Vybe.”  Their studio rendition of America the Beautiful is featured here.  From the Walt Disney Archives:  In 2004 Leonard Maltin met with John Hench, at the time, Disney’s longest-term employee, and discusses how after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Burbank studio was instantly turned into a base for the military.  Then, Walt's nephew recalls his boyhood memories of the Disney studio during the war and also touches on the Disney insignia's popularity and his own method of promoting Victory Through Air Power.  Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.   This week we look into the making of and then take in the Magic Kingdom’s Hall of Presidents.  With new narration by Morgan Freeman and a short speech by President Obama, this iteration of the attraction in a class by itself.  We'll close this week’s show with a concert in the park performed by the Disneyland Band.  Enjoy, “Music in America” followed by the Flag Retreat Ceremony.  Please keep your head, arms, feet and legs inside the podcast at all times.  Driver you’re clear!  Let's reflect on this holiday by heeding Walt Disney, who spoke the following words at the Metropolitan Opera house in New York City in 1941, as America tumbled into World War II:  "Tomorrow will be better. For as long as America keeps alive the ideas of freedom and a better life, all men will want to be free and share our way of life. I thank God and America for the right to live and raise my family under the flag of tolerance, democracy and freedom."  The Mouse Lounge is a fan-based podcast and is not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company or its subsidiaries.  Non factual statements made by the Mouse Lounge hosts, Gary Chambers and his guests are their current opinions only and are subject to change without notice.  All copyrighted material used with permission or under the Fair Use Doctrine in Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act.  Although the information in this program is believed to be reliable, Mr. Chambers, and Mouselounge.com do not make any representations or warranties as to its accuracy or completeness, nor do they assess, verify or guarantee the suitability of information.

From the Walt Disney Archives: A young Walt Disney performs as Mickey and himself in 1934s Heinz Hall of Fame Christmas Stocking. Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. This week, not so much a ride-through, but a musical trip through the holiday season, with the Disneyland Band in their annual Christmas Concert. I am told the band will improve its selection of singers from the audience in the coming year. We close this week’s show with four of my favorite holiday tunes. They may not be Disney, but they’re special to me and hope they will be to you too. Enjoy!

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This week, the Mouse Lounge takes a trip to the antebellum south and Critter Country. Also on the show, a full docket of Disney News from our departments Entertainment, Theme Parks East, Theme Parks West, and Business. In our Get to know the Disney Podcasters segment we have a seat in the lounge with the man behind the golden Window to the Magic microphone, Paul Barrie. No trip to the South would be complete without great music. The Disneyland Band is up to the task with a New Orleans themed Concert in the Park. Each week in From the Vault we sample a clip from a classic Disney film, short, television or radio program, or Disneyland Record. This week take an audio journey into Song of the South. First, excerpts from a delightful radio promotion featuring Johnny Mercer, Walt, and members of the cast. Then again join Johnny Mercer and his group, the Pied Pipers and the original cast on the 1947 Capitol Records DC-116, the Tales of Uncle Remus. From the Disney Family Museum take a journey in the making of Song of the South with excerpts from a Special Exhibit about the film. We then turn to the unabridged audio book, Neal Gablers, Walt Disney the Triumph of the American Imagination for an in depth look into the film and the politics that surrounded it. Each week we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West. Have a listen to Tim O’Brien, Senior Editor of Amusement Business Magazine and Imagineers Kathy Mangum and the late Bruce Gordon as they talk about the making of this weeks featured attraction, Splash Mountain. Then, grab your parka as we hop into a log for a spectacular ride through of the Magic Kingdoms version of the attraction. We close the show with a beautifully swinging arrangement of Sooner or Later as sung by the incomparable Dinah Shore. Enjoy!

In this Episode one piece of audio runs for the whole episode (though I talk over it through the quiet parts) this recording of the Disneyland Bands Concert aboard the Mark Twain riverboat was taken on July 15, 2005. This is the last of the three sessions of the Disneyland band that I recorded that trip and also the closest to complete, though even here I didn't get audio of the band coming on stage, so I guess none of the DL Band Concerts I recorded is 100 percent complete, still, this would be the closest, as I'm sure the other sets are missing full songs that were played before I arrived on those occasions.  Also the return of the postcard segment, and some meet reports from some of the Disney events I've atended the past few months.

This episode has audio in it taken during my 2005 trip to Disneyland two of the clips, Dwight Kennedy's Dixie Kings, and Push the talking Trash can were both recorded on July 15th, 2005, theres also a performance of the Disneyland Band from July 18th, additionally I read a little bit of listener feedback and a question from a previous show is answered. As always full show notes are on my site at: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/  this episodes notes page is: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2006-09.htm

Here are a few sounds from the first few days of our trip to Disneyland last July, this episode features; the river Rascals, Ragtime pianist "Johnny", the Disneyland Band, and in a special Tomorrowland appearance tied to the re-dedication of Space Mountain, Dwight Kennedy's New Orleans Dixie Kings. Also in this episode in the postcard corner we talk about the nice set of cards available from the Behind the Magic 50 years of Disneyland exhibit, and how to get them for far less than Ebay prices, also I go over the latest issue of the International Disney Postcard Collectors Club newsletter and add my 2¢ worth of information to Jays Patels fine work.   As always full show notes are on my site at: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/  this episodes notes page is: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2006-02.htm
