Walt Wednesdays: Walt & Bob

Walt Disney and Bob Hope were relatively close friends. While they never worked on any projects together, their paths often crossed in Hollywood. In fact, Walt Disney had initially offered Bob Hope the opportunity to open the DISNEYLAND Hotel. Bob declined and chose not to take Walt up on the offer to buy some of the surrounding acreage in Anaheim and sell it to DISNEYLAND after a few years. Bob regretted his decisions years later.

Theme Park Thursdays: Cool Down!

Looking for a spot to cool off in DISNEYLAND? Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the longer rides and always has the coolest air conditioning in the parks.

If you're looking for a quicker cool down, try a gift shop that features sweatshirts and jackets. The park will sometimes keep these locations at much lower temperatures to encourage people to try on the merchandise.
