Disneyland to zap back to 1961 for taping of SAVING MR. BANKS in November...
"We've just received word that taping will be occurring at Disneyland on November 6 and 7 for the recently announced SAVING MR. BANKS feature film starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson. The biopic follows Walt Disney in his quest to convince author P.L. Travers to allow him to turn the beloved "Mary Poppins" books into a feature film."

But you have to have a bob hair cut. Not willing to cut my unruly hair. Being paid to be in a movie sounds cool though. - AWholeNewWorld 252.9 #979 10-3-12 12:28AM
Where do we CMs find out about this?!? - SUUZinOC 715.0 #140 10-3-12 11:12AM

How cool would that be to see or be an extra on the set!!!! - madsdad1119.9 #73 10-2-12 10:13PMLike Reply
Dress like the 60's on Nov 6 or 7... Who knows what will happen?
"...As this is a feature film taping, guests should NOT expect to show up day-of to make it as an extra in the film, especially considering the time-period to be evoked in the film. In fact, casting is currently under way for extras being cast to feature hairstyles and looks reminiscent of the styles in 1961." - Tomorrowland65.3 #60 10-2-12 10:20PMLike Reply
