Top 5: Contributions to the World by Diane Disney Miller
Nov 29
If you were unaware of the saddest news in recent Disney history, Diane Disney Miller, the only biological and last living daughter of Walt Disney passed away on November 15th, 2013. Diane was an outstanding person, but to tell you the truth, I was unaware of her contributions to the world until only a few years ago. She wasn’t a public figure and that was by her choice, like much of the Disney family, but if you consider John Lasseter, Tom Staggs, or Bob Iger the guys keeping Walt Disney’s company alive, Diane Disney Miller was the one keeping her Walt’s legacy as a good father, business man, and all around person alive. If anyone ever needed to separate the myths and legends from the life of Walt Disney, Diane was always the one to go to. Diane lived a full life, and despite her tragic passing, gave us a great legacy that the next generation of the Disney family will pick up on. So without further ado and with great pleasure, here are my top 5 contributions to the world by the wonderful Diane Disney Miller.
Diane interviewing for a Documentary
#5-Uncovering Walt Disney. Like previously mentioned, Diane has been a key component in unraveling the life of her father. A man that has grown beyond his own reputation, there are many myths about Walt Disney and Diane has been the one to uncover many of the truths about him. I’ve enjoyed many of the biographies and documentaries that she’s been a part of. She has denounced some of those folks that have spread rumors about her father’s legacy, but has fully supported many of those that have told the story with facts and have involved friends and family members in those stories.
#4-Walter Elias Disney Miller. One of the best legacies you can leave as a person on this earth is to bring a child into this world. Diane and her husband Ron Miller, who ran the studio after Walt’s death, had 7 children, many of whom have stepped away from being a “Disney” and have just lived normal lives, but one in particular seems to be the one who will carry the Disney family torch into the future now that his mother has sadly passed. Walter Elias Disney Miller has already been producer on two documentaries about his grandfather, and seems as though he isn’t done being behind the camera. I hope to see his name in the future being associated with wonderful projects about his family and his Grandfather’s company.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall
#3-Walt Disney Concert Hall. During his life, Walt knew music was essential in his films and grew to love contemporary as well as classical music. He made Richard and Robert Sherman, the now famous Disney songwriters, his right hand men at the studio. He just loved music, plain and simple. So when his widowed wife, Lillian donated $50 million to build the Walt Disney Concert Hall in the late 1980s, it wasn’t too off putting, knowing that Walt loved music. The project floundered in the mid 1990s, with only the parking lot being finished thanks to Lillian and the Los Angeles County. Diane stepped in to make sure Frank Gehry, the original architect, stayed on the project, and helped fund the project with an additional $34 million. There were other contributors to the project, including the Disney company itself, but Diane made sure the building would open in her father’s honor. Since 2003, the building has been home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and world famous conductor Gustavo Dundamel.
#2-Disneyland. Walt’s famous story about taking his children to the park and watching them ride the carousel is true. Diane and her sister Sharon played with their father on the weekends and because of this, sparked Walt’s interest in building Disneyland. Diane had no real say in what would eventually become the greatest amusement park in the world, but she was the inspiration for it. Without his daughters, Walt would have never been interested in the amusement park enterprise, and we would have never had Disneyland or the other Disney theme parks, cruise ships, etc….
The Walt Disney Family Museum
#1-Walt Disney Family Museum. Thanks to Diane and her co-founding of the Walt Disney Family Foundation (A completely separate entity from the Walt Disney company.) the project of a museum would open in 2009 in San Fransisco. Diane was the head of the project, developing it from the beginning and doing her part to help design the museum along with other members of her family. Diane played the biggest part in getting the museum up and running and since 2009, it has received a large amount of fanfare. I hope her legacy will also be showcased within the museum she had a large part to do with.
What are your thoughts on Diane’s life? Has she impacted you in some way? I assume she probably has. Have you seen the documentaries, been to Disneyland, seen the family museum, or seen a concert at the Disney Hall? Let me know your thoughts and send your love to the Disney family!

Disney Food: Restaurantosaurus
Nov 27
Welcome to Restaurantosaurus
First of all, if you are a Restaurantosaurus fan, you might want to stop reading now. I’m managed to make a few people mad with my opinions on this restaurant. So if you are a fan and want to be in a good mood for the rest of the day, stop reading now. On with my review now that you have been warned. In case you have never been, Restaurantosaurus is a quick service restaurant that is located in Dinoland U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It is opened from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm for lunch and dinner.
Both days we were at Animal Kingdom, we got stuck in a bad storm. For some reason, Mother Nature and Animal Kingdom did not get along both of those days. Both days we had hid out in a gift shop as long as we could. Once it got crowded and expensive, we made a mad dash for Finding Nemo: The Musical. When the show was over, the park was pretty empty. We didn’t want to go back to the hotel and eat at the food court again, so we tried to find a quick service restaurant that was still open. Restaurantosaurus was the only quick service restaurant still open in the park, so it was our only option. We arrived around 6:00 pm, and there was only one other family there.
Dinosaur Theming?
Because the park was nearly empty, the food took a very long time for them to prepare. The menu consisted of typical hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, and grilled chicken sandwiches, of which we each ordered one of. The food was mediocre. Nothing really stood out. I preferred Flame Tree Barbeque so much more over Restaurantosaurus. We could tell the cast members were really bored. They kept hovering over our table and the other guests’ table, which made it difficult to enjoy any of the meal.
The interior of Restaurantosaurus is supposed to resemble the inside of a dorm where paleontology students dwell. There was only one dining area open for us that looked like the inside of a hunting lodge to me. I thought it was a little odd and didn’t really get it. Maybe if the rest of the restaurant had been open and I could have seen the whole picture it would have made more sense to me.
Between the mediocre food, odd décor, and lack of personal space, Restaurantosaurus would be my last choice for a quick service restaurant. I have been told by many people that I need to give it a second chance, but I’m not really in hurry to do so.

Modern Mouse Radio #37: Armchair Imagineers w/DisneyBound’s Leslie Kay
Nov 25
A beautiful pavilion….redone?
“DisneyBounding” has gotten big at the Disney Parks and outside of the parks. Dressing in the style of our favorite Disney characters has become something of a staple, even becoming part of Disney’s campaign for #DisneySide. So we got in depth with the creator of the DisneyBound phenomenon, Leslie Kay, as well as set up our latest Armchair Imagineer episode.
We discuss Epcot’s Imagination pavilion and give our ideas on what could spruce up the attraction that opened in Epcot during it’s first year of operation.

Top 5: Animated Films Abandoned by Disney
Nov 23
Disney has been making classic animated films since 1939. Roy O. Disney famously said that the company would always put it’s animated films at the forefront or else it would become a museum. Walt Disney started a legacy and there have been 52 “Animated Classics” along with many direct to video movies, and with the attachments to Studio Ghibli, Pixar, and others, the studio has definitely had it’s share of animation at the box office and on the home television. With so many releases, there had to have been a few ideas that slipped through the cracks right? Correct! For as many films that have been released, there are just as many, if not more, that never made it past the storyboards or even the napkins they were originally written on. So what films could have been a big miss for the company? Here are my top 5 animated films abandoned by Disney.
Senoritas. Cuba. Dancing birds. What’s not to love?
#5-Cuban Carnival. During World War II, Disney’s Goodwill trip to South America led to two films funded by the U.S. government that ended up becoming classics starring Donald Duck. Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros are some of my personal favorites and are a great glimpse into South and Central American culture. A third film was also slated to be made and funded by the American government called Cuban Carnical which would add another star to the trio of birds. (Donald, Jose, and Panchito.) In the film, we would learn about a pre-Castro Cuba along with scenes from Mexico and Brazil. The combo of shorts spliced together in one package film ran out of steam due to World War II ending. South and Central America no longer needed to be saved from possible Nazism and the U.S. government no longer wanted to fund films at the Disney animation studio.
#4-Chanticleer. An 1800s story of a rooster originally spawned from Reynard the Fox and his French fables. The film was discussed to be made after the success of Snow White but was shelved due to the onset of World War II. The idea was brought the the table again in the 1960s by legendary animators Marc Davis and Ken Anderson but Walt favored the more likeable Sword and the Stone instead. The project again shelved, did not see the light of day until Don Bluth, an outside animator who had worked on Roger Rabbit, took the idea and ran with it, taking the idea to the Samuel Goldwynn Company instead of Disney. The film became the lackluster Rock-a-Doodle and was released in 1991, the same year of Beauty and the Beast and we all know which film was much more popular.
A human version of the classic tale from La Mancha.
#3-Don Quixote. There have been many attempts of turning Cervantes’ famous character into an animated film. Since the 1940s there have been several attempts but all have come to a screeching halt due to several reasons. The stories are too episodic and not narrative enough. The material may be too adult. The film would be too dark. These are all good reasons not to make a Quixote film, despite that they’ve made dark Grimm tales into bright, fun family films. Quixote, Disney made or not, has always been doomed, and Disney is no exception. In recent news, Johnny Depp and Disney have agreed to try and make a live action version of the film. Can it be made? Can it succeed? We will find out.
#2-Roger Rabbit 2. There doesn’t need to be much research into why a second Roger Rabbit film was never made. Roger was a unique film which had too many cooks in the kitchen but came out beautifully. For a sequel to be made, all of those cooks have to return to the kitchen, but have never agreed to do so. Steven Spielberg went on to produce animated cartoons like Tiny Toons and Animaniacs with Warner Brothers and Disney went on with making some of it’s more classic animated films during the early 1990s. Don Bluth went on to make animated films independently. For Roger Rabbit to come back to life, the character needs Spielberg, Bluth, Disney, and Warner Brothers to join forces once again, but it doesn’t seem like that’s happening anytime soon. Everyone has their own projects right now.
A mix of computer and hand drawn animation in Where the Wild Things Are
#1-Where the Wild Things Are. After seeing Tron, John Lasseter, with help from Glen Keane and others at Disney animation in the 1980s, joined together to make a computer animated film and jumpstart the CGI animation medium. Subsequently, Disney was not fond of the idea and let Lasseter go. Of course his story ends with Pixar and the eventual CGI film we all know and love as Toy Story, but while at Disney Animation, his first CGI film proposal would have been a film adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are. One of the most popular children’s books from recent history, Lasseter had the right ideas, and with Glen Keane’s beautiful hand drawn storyboards to run off of, the possibilities were endless. I guess this film had to hit the cutting room floor in order for Pixar to succeed and “To Infinity and Beyond” to become a worldwide saying. It’s just unfortunate that we never saw a beautiful Disney animated version and would get the eventual live action/CGI made by Spike Jonze which was not nearly as good as it could have been.
What are your thoughts on these films or are there any others that you would have rather liked to have seen make it to the screen? Animation is the heart of the Disney company and there are so many possibilities for the company. Give your ideas and thoughts below!

Disney Film History: The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men
Nov 21
Original Movie Poster
Before we get started, this is not a post about Disney’s animated classic Robin Hood. This film doesn’t have a fox as a hero or a lion as a villain, it’s a live action, dramatic, musical, version of a classic story. Actually, this version of Robin Hood is quite classic itself and paints an incredible story of an English legend.
Robin Hood has been a familiar character to all of us since the 13th century in England. The folklore of a bandit that stole from the rich to give back to the poor has brought cheer to many in a time where lower class wasn’t even a phrase yet because it was the norm. By the time we get to the 20th century, Robin Hood has become iconic and in early Hollywood, was an easy subject to portray. Before Disney’s adaptation of Robin Hood, there had already been a dozen other films since the early 1900s made of the character. So what makes this film special? The backstory truly makes this film.
As mentioned previously, money made in the U.K. had to stay on the English Isle during World War II and Disney had made a substantial money from the Kingdom’s box office from his previous films. Treasure Island was put into production but Disney still had money left over and the returns on Treasure Island gave him enough to start his next live action film from England. Thinking of something that the English and American audiences would both appreciate, Walt Disney chose Robin Hood.
Planning Vengeance
Ken Annakin, who had previously directed Treasure Island, was asked to be the director for this film and in doing so, saw the previous Robin Hood films so as he would not repeat another film. Due to Annakin’s knowledge of previous films, musical numbers were added to Disney’s version as was a focus on the love story between Robin and Marian. This made the film feel fresh and different. Also, keeping with musical numbers gave this Robin Hood a distinct Disney feel.
Robin and Marian are well focused on!
The film made it’s debut in London on June 26th, 1952. Despite this film being lost in the shuffle of other live action films from long ago, Robin Hood and his Merrie Men did well at the box office in it’s initial run. It was one of the top seen films of the year in the U.K. and had more critical praise than previous films like Bambi. With that being said, is this a film you should seek out? Not neccesarily. The film does seem dated and the animated versiou is clearly the more well known and for good reasoning. It should also be known that this film has been released on DVD but not Blu Ray, and the DVD release was not remastered. That means the film doesn’t look as good as it could be so Disney must have also forgotten about this hidden gem. Find this film online somewhere and enjoy it. The music is fun, the pacing of the film is good, and it’s a fun flick for any Disney fan!

Disney Trip Planning: Tips and Tricks for Walking to Prep for Your Disney Vacation
Nov 18
Mousercise!
If you’ve never visited the Disney parks before, you might not realize how much you will be walking when you get there. This especially goes for Walt Disney World, but also applies to the Disneyland Resort. Seriously, you’ll be walking everywhere, to the food court, to the bus, to each attraction, around the resorts, etc. Even if you try and plan your day to stick within one land within a theme park, you undoubtedly get side tracked and have to book it across the park at some point to pick up or redeem a Fastpass, or get to your favorite restaurant before the lunch rush starts!
With that said, it’s worth it to consider how much you will be walking in the parks before you go. Preparing your body and legs and shoes can be the difference between comfort and exhaustion during your vacation. So, weeks before your trip is when the actual preparation should be taking place, and here are some tips and tricks to get you ready for all that walking!
Start going on walks or extend the walk time you already put in!
-Go on daily walks at home – I already go on daily walks because I have dogs, but something I have always done before my Disney vacation is increased the time and pace at which I took them for walks! I tried out different shoes in this process as well and found out that some of them (such as my black flat with barely any sole) just wouldn’t cut it for a day in the parks. I might not have assumed this otherwise, but after an hour long power walk in them, I knew they wouldn’t be making it into my suitcase! This brings me to my next tip:
-Figure out what shoes you are going to bring with you before you start packing and wear them in – This sort of goes along with the above tip, but it is especially important for those of you who might buy shoes specifically for your vacation. If you don’t wear them in before your vacation, your feet will be aching after only a few hours into the first day! I like my Converse Chuck Taylors personally, but must admit they aren’t the most comfortable pair of shoes out there. You really want to find something with cushioned support and breath-ability. I also always bring these Adidas sandals that I bought for the sole purpose of wearing to the parks. I wore them before the trip, of course, and they are similar to the material Kroc’s are made out of, so they are super comfortable, though not especially cute or anything.
-Park further away from the store/take the stairs – weeks before your trip you may want to adding in an extra walk anywhere you can! This means finding a parking spot further away from the grocery store (and maybe even wearing your new Disney-Park-designated shoes to do all those errands in) or opting out of an elevator ride to walk a few flights of stairs! Maybe the corner store that you usually drive to is sort of in walking distance and you could even decide to walk there for a change!
He wishes he was Mousercising instead.
-Use that treadmill or try some new work outs – Whenever I start walking more, the next morning my calves KILL, so it’s always worth it to get them to that point before my trip so I’m not tearing the muscles more and more each day at the parks! Any exercise that works your legs and butt is great, such as riding a bike, walking on a treadmill, squats, etc. Plus, it’s just good to do this stuff for yourself anyway!
-Pace yourself – if you start getting tired while in the parks, it’s Okay to take a break! Always remember that, and actually set time aside each day when planning your vacation to say “Okay, we have an hour or two to just relax,” or even just add extra time to ride more relaxing attractions or lounge around for lunch! Remember, if you live in areas where you aren’t used to the Florida or California weather and that’s where you plan on visiting, the heat will get to you and make it hard to keep up the pace you are accustomed to!
-Mimic what you expect the parks to be like during your walks – the best example of this is if you have kids. They WILL get tired and need you to carry them in some form, so bring a stroller to save yourself. If you are planning on bringing a stroller, you may want to incorporate one into your daily walks, even if you have your kid walking at your side holding your hand, just to get yourself used to pushing that extra weight!
-Use a pedometer – this is just a fun thing you might want to do to see how much you really truly walk and compare it to what others have reported walking at the Parks!
These are some tips and tricks I use for myself when preparing myself for all the walking I will be doing when visiting the Disney Parks. What are some of yours? Leave your answers in the comments below!
Oh, and don’t forget about our custom shoe promotion!

Disney Food: World Premiere Food Court
Nov 15
An Epic Entrance
World Premiere Food Court is located inside the main building of the All Stars Movie Resort. Like the rest of All Stars Movie Resort, the World Premiere Food Court is cinema themed. Its four stations are Majestic (which consists of pizza and pasta), Roxy (which consists of grill items and traditional favorites), Lyric (which consists of specialties), and Rialto (which consists of bakery items and ice cream). Breakfast is served from 6:00 am to 11:00 am. Lunch is served from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Dinner is served from 4:00 pm to midnight.
Standing Under The Spotlights
During our stay at All Stars Movie Resort, my family and I ate at the World Premiere Food Court twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. The food is what you would expect in most food courts. For breakfast my husband had biscuits and gravy while the rest of us had Mickey waffles, fruit, and bacon. The Mickey waffles were good; however, my husband was disappointed in his biscuits and gravy. I think his disappointment was due to the fact that we live in Tennessee and we have pretty high standards when it comes to traditional Southern breakfasts.
A Place Where Mickey Waffles and Dreams Come True
For dinner we opted for a chicken quesadilla, a chili cheese dog, a bacon mushroom cheeseburger, and a grilled chicken sandwich. We were happier with our dinner choices than our breakfast choices. For dessert we all had ice cream sundaes, which my kids loved.
No matter what time of day we ate at the World Premiere Food Court, it was crowded. Every time we walked past it, it was crowded. It honestly surprised me. There were some many better quick service restaurants in the parks! Don’t get me wrong, the food wasn’t the greatest, but it wasn’t bad either. (Except for the biscuits and gravy, that really was bad!) The two times we ate here, it was for the convenience. I suppose that is why it was always crowded, but like I said, there are much better quick service restaurants in the parks, so I would rather get to a park a little early or stay a little later and eat at the parks instead.
I have heard that the food courts get better with the different resort categories. (The value resort food courts are okay, the moderate resort food courts are better, and the deluxe resort food courts are the best.) We are planning on staying at a moderate resort on our next trip, so I am curious to compare the two.
What are your thoughts on resort food courts? Do they get better with the different resort categories, or are they all the same? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Disney Trip Planning: Guide Books
Nov 11
Birnbaum’s Guides
When planning your Disney Trip, there are so many different resources to get your information from; forums, blogs, multi-media websites, podcasts, friends and family, etc. But, perhaps the most organized and easy-to-navigate source is the guide book. There are guide books for just about everything these days, and the Disney Parks are no exception. Actually, those are probably one of the most popular selling types of guide books there are to buy! Seriously, go to any book store and check the racks; there’s usually a whole row dedicated to Walt Disney World guide books galore! So, obviously there are some guides that are more popular than others, but it comes from a mixture of how well written they are, how the information is organized, and individual opinion.
A good guide book could, in a way, become your own personal “tour guide.” They are books written and designed to inform the traveler of all the attractions, amenities, eateries, and tips-and-tricks of their travel destination. Of course, there are now guide books written to be read in website form, but a good ol’ fashion tangible book can actually become more beneficial in a situation like this. You can flip back and fourth through to each and every page you need, which, in this case, is essential since you wont typically read your guide book front to back. I also love guide books because you can highlight, mark up, and dog ear pages. You can either buy a new guide book every year you go, or just keep using the same one and read up online about what’s new in the parks!
A sneak peak at the Disneyland Itineraries in the Birnbaum Guide
I personally like to buy the Birnbaum’s guides. I just like the way they are written and organized, even if they don’t really tell me anything I don’t already know since I am a seasoned traveler. The best features of these guides are their Hot Tips and day-by-day itineraries. The Hot Tips are scattered throughout the book and tell you little insider secrets and tips for visiting the parks. The day-by-day itineraries are different depending on which resort you are planning on visiting. For Walt Disney World, the itineraries are split up according to how many days you plan on staying in the parks. There are 3-day plans, 4-day plans, 7-day plans, etc. etc. As for the Disneyland guides (which we just bought because we are going February 2014!) they are assuming you have 4 full days in the parks and split Disneyland and California Adventure into 2 days each, and they also have just 1-day itineraries for both. The itineraries include time for food, parades, and shows which is great, because you can kind of work with them to subtract or add in your own plans depending on the time the things you are taking away might take!
There are other guides that are great as well. Passporters guides are designed to bring to the parks with you, with fold out maps and pockets to insert your paper souvenirs, like tickets and receipts! I would definitely recommend these for a first time traveler. There is also the Unofficial Guide which I haven’t had much experience with, but I know it’s popular, so it must be good. There is also the one-subject-focused Hidden Mickey guide which doesn’t tell you what to do in the parks, it just tells you where you can find Mickey’s likeness throughout the parks. Frommer’s is also a pretty popular title.
Passporter’s is a great keepsake for your trip!
Most guide books out there will generally be the same. They generally have a section on how to get to the resort (by plane, car, bus, train), what hotels are there and what each hotel offers by section, each park has it’s own section with a description of each attraction within each park “land,” and each shop and eatery within each park as well. There is usually a section for things you can do outside the parks, as well (but why the hell would you ever leave!?) Whatever book you decide to buy, you will probably end up planning a great trip and gaining much experience that you can then use to combine with your guide book when planning your next trip! I definitely recommend using some sort of planning resource though (like the entirety of Modern Mouse Radio, of course) because not only does it really help you get the most out of your vacation, but because planning ends up becoming half the fun!
