"Flashback at Play" to bring childhood favorites to life on stage:
Everyday, Cast Members help Guests have fun at the Disneyland Resort. But when they head home after their shifts, how do Cast Members cut loose? For many, the answer isn't much different now than when we were kids.
On March 7 and 8, "Flashback at Play" will bring those childhood pastimes to life. Turning the Hyperion Theater into an oversized toy box, this production will feature Broadway - style acts inspired by video games, card games, board games and comic books. With four teams of performers vying for the win, this friendly competition is filled with song, dance,popular music and surprises.
But what makes Flashback extra special is that the entire performance is written, choreographed by and stars more than 200 Disneyland Resort Cast Members. Each year Flashback continues to grow, and the show gets better and better. Many lifelong friendships are made during the production of Flashback.
The show benefits two good causes, Anahiem Interfaith Shelter/Halcyon and Orangewood Childern's Foundation. Since its inception, Flashback Productions has raised more than $230,000 in support of local arts, youth and educational - focused nonprofit organizations.
Sounds like fun...Dr Lee

Love At Disneyland: A tale as old as time!
Finding love in the workplace has quite a history at Disney, begining with Walt Disney himself.
Focused on production in 1923, Walt had little time for romance, but he would occasionally drive some of the Ink and Paint girls home after work. That's when he developed an interest in Lillian Bounds.
One night after arriving at Lillian's house, Walt said, "I'm going to buy a new suit. When I get it, would it be all right if I called on you? Their romance flourished, and on July 13, 1925, the happy couple married.
The unofficial tradition of finding love at "The Happiest Place on Earth" continues today. here are just a few Cast Members who met their "one and only" at the Disneyland Resort.
Dyana and Ian:
Dyana Brock, Custodial, had an unusual routine when she joined the College Program in 2010.
"Every day I would pass by Snow White's wishing well and I would put a penny in, wishing for my prince to come," Dyana said.
In March 2010, while sweeping in New Orleans Square, she noticed a friend talking to someone who peaked her curiosity. Dyana swept her way over and introduced herself to Ian Hoover, Entertainment.
Ian's first impression of Dyana?
"Either she was made specifically for me or she had been stalking me for years figuring out how to be the perfect girl for me," he said.
Dyana returned home to Monterey Bay when her program ended, but the couple kept their romance alive. When she visited over winter break, they visited Disneyland Park and had their caricature sketched in New Orleans Square. When the artist turned the drawing around, it revealed Ian on one knee holding a ring and a thought bubble above his head that read "Will you marry me?" After her initial shock, Dyana wrote in her answer, "Yes!"
The pair plans to marry in early 2013.
Carla and Jim:
Cast Members Carla Sherwood and Jim Mertz met for the first time at a New Year's Eve party after their shifts at Tomorrowland Terrace in 1971. But it wasn't until September of the following year that they were set up on a date by their bosses to attend the lead and foreman banquet.
"I had to be fixed up," Jim joked. "It took her a long time to see value in me."
This year Carla, now manager, Global Documentation, and Jim, Workforce Management director, are celebrating 35 years of marriage.
Together the couple have 80 years of Disney service - and a daughter who works at the Disneyland Resort, too.
Matthew and Marina:
\
Hired just a few months apart, Matthew Miranda and Marina Saldivar met in January 2010 while working at Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill in Disney california Adventure Park.
"Marina first caught my eye one day when we were both working," Matthew said. "When I saw her, I thought she was the prettiest girl in the world."
Initially, Marina had reservations about dating someone she worked with. But, she acknowledged, "love just happens in the oddest places."
Two years later, the, the couple is still madly in love."
"I think it's funny how this is 'The Happiest Place on Earth' and we found each other.
Love at the Disneyland Line:
Editor's note: Cupid's arrow also has struck Line staff writer Michelle Barefield, who wrote this story. Michelle met her fiance, Roy Choi, Global Documentation, during her first Disneyland Resort visit in july 2005. The couple will tie the knot in April.
...and they lived happily ever after.

Snow White's Grotto:
Since its dedication on April 9, 1961, Snow White's Grotto and wishing well near Sleeping Beauty Castle has been one of the most popular romantic spots in Disneyland Park for couples to get engaged.
The small marble statues depicting Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that grace the spot arrived from Italy in 1958. There was just one problem: The Snow White statue was approximately the same height as the dwarfs. When Walt asked Imagineer John Hench to display the eight statues at Disneyland, the designer was perplexed by how to properly showcase the disproportional group.
John's solution: Scene elements were scaled to create the illusion of distance and height and Snow White was placed at the top of the diorama, creating a forced perspective. From the footbridge, Snow White appears perfectly proportional in relation to her friends. John did such a magical job creating the scene that three other Disney parks have since incorporated the montage - disproportion and all - in their castle forecourts.
And what happens to all those coins from the wishing well that surely made many wishes come true? For decades, the money collected has been donated to childern's charities. Inscribed on the well is the sentiment: " Your wishes will help childern everywhere."
If I every marry again, I think here at the wishing well or the drawbridge in front of the castle is were I shall ask that question,"Will you marry me"...Then,I want to get married at Emerald Bay,Lake Tahoe with sand between our toes and a few close friends...Dr Lee

Super Bowl 'connection' turns 25:
On January 25, 1987, following the New York Giants Super Bowl XXI victory, quarterback Phil Simms became the first person to be featured in a commercial with the now-famous phrase," I'm going to Disneyland!!"
But how exactly did the marketing idea come about?
Michael Eisner, former CEO of The Walt Disney Company, credited his wife, Jane, with the campaign idea in his 1998 memoir, "Work in Progress." While at Disneyland Park for the Star Tours attraction grand opening in 1987, the couple dined with Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, who in December 1986 had piloted the first aircraft to fly around the world without stopping or refueling. After such an adventure, Jane asked the couple what they could do next to possibly top the excitment of traveling around the world. They replied,"Well, we're going to Disneyland." Later, Jane remarked to Michael that the phrase would make a great advertising campaign.
Just a few weeks later, Disney launched the new commercial series. To date, more than 50 sports heroes, musicians- even Santa Claus- have shouted the famous slogan.
So who will be next to say the famous line? Find out Feb.5,2012, as the New York Giants take on the New England Patriots on Super Bowl Sunday.

"I want to thank the good lord for making me a Yankee."
Years ago, while tending the bar at Club 33, Joe DiMaggio stop by my bar and I had a short chat with him. He was having lunch and was walking thru the Club to take it all in.

New Disney cruise ship, Fantasy, floated out in Germany:
The Disney Cruise Line's newest ship, the Disney Fantasy, has taken to water for the first time.
The 2,500 - passenger vessel was floated out from a dry dock in Germany where it has been under construction for than a year - one of the last major milestones before its maiden voyage in March.
A sister to the much heralded Disney Dream, which debuted last year, the 130,000 - ton Disney Fantasy is arriving as Disney gears up for a major expansion that includes its first cruise out of New York, Seattle and Galveston, Texas.
The two new ships are Disney's first in more than a decade and together are more than doubling the line's capacity.
The Disney Fantasy will be similar but not identical to the Disney Dream. Last month, the line unveiled plans for a new show on the Fantasy called Wishes, and the ship also will have a new nighttime entertainment district for adults called Europa and an elaborate new dinner show.
Like the Disney Dream, the Disney Fantasy also will boast and innovative "water coaster" called AquaDuck that wraps around the pool deck and extensive childern's areas.
the Disney Dream, and Disney Dream are more than 50% larger than Disney's two pervious ships, the 14 year old Disney Magic and the 13 year old Disney Wonder.
Scheduled to sail on its maiden voyage on March 31,2012, the 1,250 cabin Disney Fantasy still must undergo several weeks of interior finishing work at Germany's Meyer Werft shipyard before it is delivered to Disney. The initial stages of a cruise ship's construction take place in a dry - dock facility,but once exterior outfitting is completed, final construction takes place in a wet dock.
The Disney fantasy will be placed in Port Canaveral, Fla., and operate alternating, seven - night sailing to the Eastern and Western Caribbean.
With spring just a few weeks away ( ok,about 10 weeks,but still)let's consider a Disney cruise...Dr Lee

King Arthur Carrousel at Disneyland Park:
Although King Arthur Carrousal made its Disneyland Resort debut when the park opened in 1955, its history goes back much futher. Just how old is the carrousel? Well, I shall give you some interesting facts!
A...Walt Disney bought the 1875 Dentzel carrousel for $22,000 from Sunnyside Park in Toronto, Canada.
B...Since Walt Disney wanted only jumping horses for his carrousel-not the other animals which were part of the deal - additional horses were added from another at Coney Island. Each horse on King Arthur Carrousel is a hand-carved antique.
C...About one in every five Disneyland Park Guests takes a spin on King Arthur Carrousel.
D...The King Arthur Carrousel horses are touched up daily, and every year each horse undergoes a complete refurbishment. More than 30 colors are used on the horses - no two of which are painted the same.
E...There are a total of 72 leaping horses on King Arthur Carrousel. Walt Disney himself insisted that all horses would be leaping, so some of the original horses were reconfigured to the proper pose.
