This reminds me of the time that I got a text message from my friend but was confused because it did not look like her and I thought it was something from the 80s or another person and it was just her playing with the camera so I decdied to save the picture and keep it just in case I wanted a good chuckled and it made me think...WWWD and woody made face also..I wonder if Woody ever had a pet unicorn that loved to jump around to house of pain and go to times square and find mimes and poke them with his unicornness...I have always wanted to have a unicorn that was vengeful and could take him to costco on Sundays and ride him horseback - Dave 8639.4 #2 5-22-13 10:09PMLike Reply

Nope. Shaun was in need of a bigger office (he had another office at the studios). The big wigs said the only office open in Walt's old office. Shaun Cassidy said, "What? This should be a museum!" They basically told him to take it or leave it. He took it, and dedicated a wall of photos of Mr. Disney in the office. - RadioMaverick 528.6 #217 3-31-13 2:30PM

ASU once again teamed up with Disney to revamp the ASU mascot, Sparky.
A bit of history: A Disney artist also created the Sparky character we've seen over the years back in 1946.
Ok. Just saw more photos of the new Sparky. I like. - RadioMaverick528.6 #217 3-3-13 11:31AMLike Reply
This from the Mix 96.9 website: Arizona State University’s long-time mascot, Sparky, unveiled in Tempe a new look Friday as part of a design partnership with Walt Disney. ASU officials emphasized the iconic Sparky logo wouldn't be changing, but the popular costumed mascot that makes public appearances will sport an updated look.
“Sparky was from a different era and we needed to update him," said Stephen Teglas, vice president of licensing for Disney Consumer Products. Sparky has been the university’s beloved mascot for six decades. Former Walt Disney Co. illustrator Bert Anthony, an ASU alum, designed the impish devil, and some speculate that Sparky’s face actually resembles that of Walt Disney. - RadioMaverick528.6 #217 3-3-13 11:32AMLike Reply

This is interesting. Disney plans to institute a stroller ban in Fantasy Faire, citing space constraints. The exception will be: if the child is asleep in the stroller when the guests enter the Faire, they will be allowed to proceed. Whee More...
This makes sense to me. In such a small area, a ton of strollers will very quickly clog that area and make getting around very difficult. This should help with the flow of guests. And parents that are upset, shouldn't be. Having a stroller doesn't entitle you. - DisneyFanZoe1096.7 #75 2-28-13 9:44AMLike(17) Reply

My oldest brother took us to lunch in DD today, he said my parents took them to DL the first year, I took him to see the photos in the DL hotel, and he was telling us all kinds of things about back then. He said the main thing is how much all the trees have grown in, before, and with each new addition, the trees are so small, but by the time he comes back, all have grown so tall. Twenty years later, my parents took me on my first trip and it is fun for him to tell me of things that I have only read about. - secretagentangel669.6 #154 1-9-13 12:13AMLike Reply
