It's February and you know what that means: I'm going to Walt Disney World this month! And as is of course tradition, I am hyping myself up by watching weird vintage Disney Park television specials.
And because I also felt it was kind of weird keeping a Christmas post up top for so long, here's a... Fourth of July special? Well, why not?
A special with this much stuff is right for any season. Highlights include wrong-sounding Mickey announcing the whole entire new Magic Kingdom land built for his birthday, the very odd "Spirit of America" parade, a look at the then-new Norway pavilion, the Electric Light Parade complete with circus floats, a special preview of the Disney/MGM Studios, and the triumphant return of our lanky tap-dancing friend Tommy Tune in a patriotic musical finale that seems to go on forever.
I hope that everyone in the coming year brings as much enthusiasm to their creative endeavors as Uncle Jessie does playing percussion here.
