Live Music Memories on Main Street, U.S.A.

Welcome to this month’s Blogorail Orange Loop. Today we are sharing some of the best live entertainment at the Disney Parks.

The Dapper Dans share some of their talent with us on Main Street, U.S.A.

When it comes to Disney, for me and my family we have always enjoyed and thought that the music from the parks can lead to an even greater enjoyment of all that we see.  Today I’m sharing with you some of my favorite music memories from Main Street, U.S.A. and even beyond!  The picture you see at the beginning is of the Dapper Dans as they performed for us on Main Street, U.S.A.  After they had finished, they were kind enough to share a picture with my daughter Sophie and niece Anna Jane, as you see here.

As you progress up Main Street, take a look at the piano situated over by Casey’s Corner.  The piano has a player, and they will appear at various times throughout the day, so check your times guide for the day you are there.  It’s a great way to sit down, relax, and let the music take you back in time to another age.  Simply put, it’s just one of the music memories you’ll experience on this journey.

If you haven’t heard the Main Street Philharmonic perform, then make sure you save some time for a listen.  Their music is really good, and among the best of any band you’ll hear anywhere!

Then, over in Fantasyland, one of my memories was when the Fantasyland Woodwinds Society (I think I have the name correct) performed Happy Birthday for Sophie and this other lady who’s birthday it was also.  Here’s a picture from that day.

Of course, not all music memories are created by the live entertainment. Some are the product of the incredible parades, including this one that was one of my all time favorites, but is now located at Disneyland:

What music do you like to see performed at Walt Disney World? Let us know in the comments below, and thanks for stopping by today!

The Return of the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop- Disney Parades!

Disney Parades

The Main Street Electrical Parade is the subject of this week’s Wordless Wednesday post!

Welcome to the return of the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop!  Today we are focusing on Disney Parades for our theme! My friend Deb from Focused on the Magic has always hosted this, and I used to be quite the regular on contributing.  Things shifted, though, and I was not able to contribute nearly as often as I wanted to — that is, until now!  Long time readers will know that my Wordless Wednesday posts are not wordless at all usually.  Today’s theme is Disney Parades, and I can’t think of a better parade to feature than the Main Street Electrical Parade!  Originally from Disneyland, brought to Walt Disney World for several years, and now, back at Disneyland where my friend Sheila says “it belongs!”  I’ve great memories of this parade from it’s days in Florida, here’s some of my favorite pictures from that incredible parade!  Enjoy!

It looks like Cinderella is looking right at me!

Stocking Stuffer Giveaway by Disney in Your Day!

Stocking Stuffer

Hello everyone!  My friend Becky is the creator of the website Disney in Your Day, and she has got a great giveaway for you!  Becky is giving away a stocking stuffer full of great Disney goodies, and it could be yours for the taking if you are the lucky winner!

If you like Disney, and you like giveaways, then this is a win-win for you!  Take a look at the picture below to get an idea on what you’ll receive if you win.

Stocking Stuffer

Here’s some descriptive text for you to wet your whistle about what you’ll receive:

  • Disney Store Sketchbook Ornament – ornaments are a great stocking stuffer for all ages, and the Disney Store has some of the best ones!
  • Art supplies – whether it’s a kid who likes to create or an adult who scrapbooks, there are lots of Disney-related art goodies.  This stocking has stickers, coloring sheets, and a Finding Dory watercolor paint set!
  • Tsum tsums – these stackable plushes are hugely popular right now with kids and adults.  They are inexpensive and fun so perfect for a stocking!  You can get the newest ones at the Disney Store and some of the older ones at Target.
  • POP Vinyl – lots of people collect these, and even if you don’t it’s still fun to have one or two! An Ariel one is included in this giveaway.
  • Star Wars toys – for Star Wars fans there are lots of fun little goodies.  I’ve included an R2-D2 toy in this stocking.
  • Playing cards – another easy thing to throw in a stocking, I’ve got Pirates of the Caribbean cards.
  • Keychain – A great theme park souvenir is a keychain, and they’re small enough to fit in a stocking!
  • Notebook – As a kid I always got small blank notebooks in my stocking.  They are handy to have around at any age and you can find some cute Disney ones all over the place (check the Dollar Store and Target bargain bins, though this one comes from Walt Disney World!)
  • Watch – if you like to include something a little more upscale in your stockings, consider a Disney watch.  Kohl’s is a great place to find them, but the one I’m giving away is from Disneyland!
  • Plush – small plushes are great for stockings and I love how it looks with them just peeking out of the stocking on Christmas morning!

With a stocking stuffer prize like that, your Christmas shopping for your little one — or maybe for yourself? — would be all done!  I have it from Becky that everything you see in that picture is included in the prize!  So what’s next you ask?  Well, how about entering?  You can do so using the Rafflecopter entries below, or you can go to Becky’s site at Disney in Your Day to enter there — either way, it’s the same code so the same giveaway!  Good luck!
