Posted on December 12, 2010 by madforthemouse

I am still missing being at WDW during the holiday season!  so I went searching for the Osbourne Family Spectacle of Lights – one of my favorite things!  (I have MANY holiday favorites though – just warning you! : )  and I found this fabulous video by JeffLangeDVD – hopefuly you’ll enjoy it as much as I do!  Being a Phineas and Ferb fan, I love the addition of the boys, Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz!  What do you think??

Gowalla Teams Up with Disney!

Posted on December 3, 2010 by madforthemouse

Gowalla has teamed up with Disney to provide its unique “check-in” service to all of Disney’s U.S. parks and resorts–I’m downloading it now to my iPhone! What a coup for Gowalla – I’ve been a Foursquare girl myself but gotta give Gowalla a try now! Ok – I have noticed all the Gowalla tweets & FB updates – now I know why. :)

Disney’s 2011 marketing theme – “Let the Memories Begin” – is about capturing and sharing memories. Now with the Gowalla app, Disney guests gain access to more than 100 attractions for check-ins plus stamps and pins for rides. There are special pins you earn for visiting all the places – exciting for even non-pin collectors. :) How cool is this??? Are you switching to Gowalla now??

“Song of the South” to be released on DVD??

Song of the South

Song of the South

Just found this news through the Zannaland blog and thought I’d help spread the word! :)   There appears to be encouraging word that “Song of the South” may indeed be released – not a definite, but it’s being discussed!

As someone who bought the European VCR tape on Ebay and then paid ALOT to have it converted to to American VCR format and now no longer own a VCR (haha) – I would love the opportunity to own it on DVD or Bluray!!   I love the music and it sure makes Splash Mountain more relevant to all the kids who have never heard the Uncle Remus stories.  My dad used to read the stories to us growing up – they bring back very fond memories and I genuinely love the stories.

Here’s the original story from The Post Movie Podcast Are any of you all looking forward to seeing this Disney classic again?
