Music Mondays: “Ma Belle Evangeline”




Look how she lights up the sky
Ma belle Evangeline
So far above me, yet I
Know her heart belongs to only me

J'tadore, J'taime, Evangeline
You're my queen of the night
So still, so bright

To someone as beautiful as she
Who loves someone like me
Love always finds a way, it's true
And I love you, Evangeline
Oooh, yeah!

Love is beautiful, love is wonderful
Love is everything, do you agree?
Mais oui!

Look how she lights up the sky
I love you, Evangeline

Music Mondays: Oh What A Merry Christmas Day





Oh, what a merry christmas day

Hear the joyous music play

Bells are ringing

choirs singing


Oh, what a merry christmas day

sharing the season of good cheer

with the ones we hold so dear

friendly faces, warm embraces


Oh, what a merry christmas day

snowflakes covered country lanes

Jack Frost painted window panes

twinkling stars on christmas trees


oh, what happy memories

gathered 'round a fireplace

fam'lies filled with love and grace

from peaceful ember's glow

blessed Yuletide spirits grow

grow and grow

grow and grow


Joy to the children far and near

what a won'drous time of year

isn't is just grand to say

merry, merry christmas

merry, merry christmas

Oh, what a merry christmas day!

Happy Birthday, Walt Disney!

On this day in 1901, a baby was born in Chicago, Illinois who would change the world. Named after his family's pastor Walter Parr, the baby's famous name would become known by billions around the world- Walt Disney.




His father wouldn't provide him with much encouragement when it came to artistic pursuits, but his Aunt Maggie would sneak him the crayons, pencils and paper that would guide him to his destiny.



Animation, film, theme parks- Walt Disney conquered every field he chose to engage in. But every legend has to start somewhere and today we celebrate his beginnings. Happy Birthday, Walt Disney!







“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls- in 1923 Walt Disney arrived in California to follow his dreams. Dreams which led to extraordinary achievements and wondrous adventures! Adventures where natural majesties, bustling communities and groundbreaking discoveries would all find a place in his heart. Today we invite you to explore your dreams as you experience your very own California Adventure!”

-Disney California Adventure Opening Announcement


“Every day in some small way, we are a part of Walt’s dream, whether walking through the park, watching amazing movies or television, or just spending time together. It all started with a young cartoonist landing in Los Angeles, his friend Mickey Mouse in his heart, a trunk full of dreams and ambitions, and most importantly, a lifetime of stories to tell.”

-Noah


“I do what I do because of Walt Disney- his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.”

-John Lasseter


“One of the things that I’ve learned from Walt that I use in my everyday work and life is that nothing is impossible. The quote of his that I love the best is, ‘Actually, it’s kind of fun to do the impossible.’ I try to remind myself and others of this every day.”

-Ralph Castaneda


“Walt Disney’s secret was to do things you don’t need, and do them well. And then you realize you needed them all along.”

-Ray Bradbury


“Think beyond your lifetime, if you want to do something truly great.”

-Walt Disney

“I still think about Mr. Disney all the time. It’s funny but sometimes when I feel discouraged or have a problem I can’t work out, I find myself thinking ‘If only Mr. Disney were here, he would know what to do.’ And I’m sure he would.”

-Annette Funicello

"I am so honored. You cannot have any idea what a feeling it is for me to be here at DISNEYLAND today to wish him a Happy Birthday. I know that you all love and enjoy and feel these wonderful experiences when you come to DISNEYLAND and you see his films and everything, but to have been part of the team- to have been part of the gang that put together some of these enchanting experiences- there’s no words to describe it."

-Richard Sherman


"His dedication was not just making people smile- he taught in his very special way respect for life and land the world over making people realize if you wish upon a star, fantasies really can come true. Many times I visited his Magic Kingdom and believe me when I say my dreams came true."

-Annette Funicello
