Bringing Disneyland Home

After a recent trip to the Disneyland Resort, I returned home with a little motivation (and a promise made to a friend) to put this new episode together. I video taped this evening at ElecTRONica during a trip last October. Since Disney has announced that they will be replacing ElecTRONica with Mad T Party later this year, I thought now was a good time to release this video with the hope that it would get people to experience ElecTRONica before it's gone. Enjoy!

The Little Mermaid, Ariel's Undersea Adventure finally opened in early summer to huge fanfair. The attraction is very well done and uses many new technologys. This episode takes you on a complete ridethrough and gives you a taste of what to expect the next time you visit Disney California Adventure Park. I also wanted to let everyone who purchased the BDH Vidcast App know that there is a new update. This update fixes the playback issues people were having and also includes some great new features. Please update your App ASAP if you haven't already.

After many months on hiatus, the Bringing Disneyland Home - Video Podcast returns with a new episode. Since "Star Tours" is closed for a complete overhaul, I thought it would be fun to revisit the original. Also, the DPN will be having it's annual Disney Podcast Community gathering "Westfest" April 28 - May 1 at the Disneyland resort. For more info, please visit www.thedpn.com. I hope to see you there.

This special nostalgic episode brought to you by Theme Parkology brings you video and images from Disneyland 1955-1959. This is just a small sample of what the DVD has to offer.

I highly recommend these DVDs and they would make a great gift for any Disneyland fan.
