Disney's Alaskan "True Life Adventures":
When the Disney Wonder began cruising to Alaska on May 3, 2011, it wasn't the first time Disney has had a presence in the state.
There are several movies, documentaries and made-for-TV shows that Disney has made about or set in Alaska.
Most prominent are "Seal Lsland" (1948) and "The Alaskan Eskimo" (1953), both crafted from footage taken by Disney Legends Alfred and Elma Milotte, a husband-and-wife team of nature photographers.
"Seal Island" was the first "True-Life Adventure" and won the Academy Award for Best Two-Reel Documentery Short Subject of 1948. When Walt Disney saw the Milottes' Alasken wildlife footage, he commissioned them to film more, which they did over a year's time in 1947. Walt even traveled to Alaska in August 1947 with his daughter, Sharon, to check in on the Milottes' filming. Captivated by the footage of fur seals off the Alaskan coast, Walt used it to create the 27-minute "Seal Island."
"The Alaskan Eskimo" was the first of many People and Places featurettes and also was developed from the Milotte footage of 1947. It won the Academy Award for Best Documentery Short Subject of 1953.
"A Salute to Alaska"-1967
" A Salute to Alaska" marked Walt Disney's final introduction as the host of his Wonderful World of Color TV series. " A Salute to Alaska" was narrated by Ludwig von Drake and featured figures from Alaska's history including Czarina Anna Ivanovna, Peter the Great, Vitus Bering, and William Seward, all animated by Ward Kimball. Three 16mm films were released in 1973 from footage in " A Salute to Alaska': How Alaska Joined the World, Alaska's Bush Pilot Heritage, and The Alaskan Gold Rush.
Never been to Alaska,sounds nice...DR LEE

Pick-up lines at the bar:
As a bartender at Club 33,The pond (Anahiem Ducks),Mr Stox (Anahiem) and a few private party's, I have heard over the years a few great pick-up lines. These can be used by either male/female :
Let's say I see a pretty woman at a dance,party or some place fun! Getting my courage up, taking that first step, I would walk up to her and ask,"Pardon me, but do you get alot of traffic tickets," and her reply should be "no,"
then I would say," because you have fine written all over you."
Ok, stop laughing,here is another,
Again, see an amazing looking woman, walk up to her and ask,"pardon me, are you from Tennessee," she should say "no," then your reply is, "because you are the only ten-I-see."
Working as a bartender,have meet lots of interesting people, however, thats the fun part,getting paided to talk to friends, family and strangers. Having bartended for the Walt Disney Company was fun. My normal days off were Sunday/Monday and my work hours were Tuesday thru Saturday 10a.m. to 5 p.m.. On Mondays, I would be a room dad for my two daughters at their school K1 thru 7th grade( did this most Mondays for about 9 years, was known as Mr. Williams the Safety Man). Would work at The pond or Mr Stox normally Thursday thru Saturday from approx. 6 p.m. to approx. 8:30 p.m. bartending about 3 nights a week. Working these late shifts allowed me to miss all that traffic on the 91 freeway to Riverside.
In closing,hope you like those "pick-up lines ."...DR LEE

Join Jack's crew for a " Pirates" sneak peak:
So...you've come seeking adventure and salty old pirates, eh? If it's nighttime at Festival Arena, you've come to the proper place.
Evenings through May 1 and weekends through May 30,the entire family can join Captain Jack Sparrow's crew for a sneak peek of Walt Disney Pictures/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' " Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" at Disneyland Park.
This interactive offering invites scallywags aboard the Queen Ann's Revenge, donning 3-D " double eye patches" to watch an extended sequence from the new film. The action leaps off the screen with live performers and special effects as guests narrowly escape the clutches of the terrifying Blackbeard.
Although the new film hits theatres May 20th, keep a weather eye open for the World Premiere of " Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" at Disneyland Park on Saturday, May 7, 2011.
