Hello everyone, and welcome to this week’s Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia! Along with my friends Jenn from Disney Babies Blog, Heidi from Heidi’s Head, and Jodi from Magical Mouse Schoolhouse, I’m Mike, and today I’m going to give you a good tidbit of Disney trivia from Disneyland!
Most likely any good Disney trivia fan will know Wally Boag as one of the great performers in the Golden Horseshoe Revue at Disneyland Park.

In addition to his work with the Golden Horseshoe Revue, Wally was also the voice of Jose of the Enchanted Tiki Room! Additionally, Wally Boag was on the Muppet Show in 1980, which you can watch in it’s entirety right here (courtesy YouTube)!
Wally Boag’s career spanned far beyond Disney and the Golden Horseshoe Revue, but he certainly made his mark there!
Today happens to be the 2 year anniversary of Wally Boag’s death in 2011 (June 3, 2011, at the age of 90). Ironically, his partner on stage, Betty Taylor, would pass away next day, June 4, 2011.
