Sams Disney Diary

California, Here We Come!!!! – That’s what you hear headed down Buena Vista Street toward Carthay Circle at Disney’s California Adventure, multiple times a day.

The News Boys are arriving on the Red Car Trolley with a copy of today’s late edition.  Did you see that headline?  “Walt Disney Arrives in Hollywood”

“Mr Disney, he traveled west just a few bucks to his name.  Along the way, he met Mickey Mouse, and the world will never be the same.  He had a suitcase and a dream.”

Ok, so that’s not exactly how it happened, but it does make for great show. 

Like the Five and Dime, the News Boys have been a part of Disney’s California Adventure since the re-dedication in June of 2012.   With Carthay Circle Theater as the backdrop, the show drops us right into the 1920s, well 1923 to be exact, when a young Walt Disney arrived with his suitcase and a dream. 

The show’s theme fits perfectly into the 1920s influenced Buena Vista Street.  The inspirational show is all about following your dream, with an original song, Suitcase and a Dream.  With 1920s inspired classics, the show is a perfect distraction from the hustle and bustle of the park.  Check your times guides and be sure to keep an eye out for Mickey himself, as he proves that he has what it takes to make it in Hollywoodland.
