RICHARD SHERMAN & ALAN MENKEN PERFORMING THE DISNEY SONGBOOK AT THE D23 EXPO
The planets must have aligned and God has heard our prayers, because an amazing event is about to happen. These two men are responsible for transcendental treasures in the Disney songbook. I mean, it's impossible to walk through the parks and not hear music from one of these two music legends.
Being a one-night event, Richard M. Sherman and Alan Menken will take the stage together to play some of their most beloved compositions at the D23 Expo, on August 10, as part of the Ultimate Disney Fan Event at the Anaheim Convention Center.
This is once in a lifetime event; I would give anything to go, Alan Menken is one of my Disney idols! For those not sure who these men are, I will fill you in. Alan Menken is known as the Disney Renaissance musical composer by excellence, having wrote the music for The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notredame, Hercules, Enchanted and Tangled. Richard M. Sherman is one of the Sherman Brothers. The Sherman Brothers composed the music and lyrics for Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Winnie the Pooh and the iconic disney song "It's a Small World" for the park ride.

RUBBER DUCK RACE AT DISNEYLAND PARK
Hundreds of rubber ducks raced around the world for a cause at the 5th annual “it’s a small world” duck race! Cast members sponsored and decorated the ducks to raise more than $1,800 for Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire before Disneyland park opened for the day on May 2nd.
The cast fundraiser carries forward the attraction’s legacy of supporting children, dating back to the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair when it was created in honor of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Cast members waited anxiously to see which rubber duck would race through “it’s a small world” fastest.

It's a Small World during the Holidays
Did you know: Walt had kids from all over the world bring a jar of water from their ocean/lake/other body of water, had them dress up in their attire and pour their jar of water into the water that travels you through It’s a Small World. Walt himself even poured some water himself.
