Disneyland Dream Suite Will Be Awarded To One Lucky Guest This Evening!

ANAHEIM, Calif. – January 29, 2008 – For the first time in
history, lucky guests will have the chance to spend an unforgettable
night inside Disneyland Park during the Year of a Million Dreams, most
nights starting January 31, 2008, as part of the 2008 Disney Dreams
Giveaway.

A guest will be escorted on the same day awarded into the most
extraordinary accommodations at Disneyland Resort: the Disneyland Dream
Suite, an in-park apartment with special-effects surprises and vintage
design elements in each room.

The overnight stay in the Disneyland Dream Suite will be a highlight
among the more than a million "dream come true" experiences awarded
through random process to eligible Disneyland Resort guests and mail-in
participants in the 2008 Disney Dreams Giveaway. Mail-in winners of
prizes that require use on day awarded, such as the Disneyland Dream
Suite, will receive a prize of comparable value.

Disney Imagineers have devoted months of hard work toward remodeling the
suite of rooms above New Orleans Square in the Park, conceived by Walt
Disney as a private apartment for his family and closest friends. The
rooms, which most recently housed The Disney Gallery, have been restored
to Disney’s original vision of deluxe living quarters. Vintage design
illustrations, created under Disney’s personal direction, were recovered
and used as inspiration for the look, furnishings and other décor
elements in the Suite. Special design touches have been incorporated to
evoke memories of Disney’s diverse interests and the rich heritage of
Disneyland.


The guests chosen through a random process to enjoy a "dream stay" in
the Disneyland Dream Suite will be following in the footsteps of Walt
Disney. His dedication to the constant growth and development of
Disneyland Park resulted in frequent overnight stays in a small private
apartment which remains today above the Fire House on Main Street,
U.S.A. In the 1960s, as plans were developed for the New Orleans Square
area, Disney brought in illustrator and designer Dorothea Redmond (Gone
with the Wind) and set decorator Emile Kuri (Mary Poppins, It’s a
Wonderful Life) to help him create a larger, more lavish apartment where
he could entertain friends, family, VIP guests and dignitaries.

Unfortunately, Disney passed away before the Suite was completed. Over
the years, the rooms were used as offices and to entertain visiting
business associates until, in 1987, the space became The Disney Gallery,
a unique venue displaying artwork originally created during the
development of various Disney movies and theme park attractions. Only
now, 40 years later, is Disney’s dream being fulfilled. The rooms have
been returned to their original intended purpose and, as Disney wished,
the Disneyland Dream Suite will be occupied by overnight guests.

"Our plan has been to use the renderings that Walt worked on with
Dorothea Redmond and to replicate those as exactly as we can," said Walt
Disney Imagineering Art Director Kim Irvine. "Her illustrations were
very specific, with a color and style for each room. "But to make it
special for the guests, we want it to be more than just a beautiful
suite. We want it to be filled with things that might have inspired Walt
as he dreamed of Disneyland."

Located above Pirates of the Caribbean in the New Orleans Square section
of Disneyland Park, the 2,600-square-foot Disneyland Dream Suite
includes a living room, open-air patio, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
In addition to that night’s lodging in the Disneyland Dream Suite, each
selected 2008 Disney Dreams Giveaway winner of the Disneyland Dream
Suite will also be celebrated as the Honorary Grand Marshal in that
day’s Disneyland parade. The winner and their guests will enjoy dinner,
late-night snacks and beverages, and the dazzling view overlooking New
Orleans Square and the Rivers of America, where a private balcony
provides an ideal vantage point on nights when fireworks or the
"Fantasmic!" spectacular are presented.

Guests may enter the Dream Suite by climbing the grand staircase outside
the entrance to the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. An elevator
will be available to accommodate guests with disabilities. Through the
doorway at the top of the stairs is the Living Room, designed in a
French Provincial style reflecting the New Orleans Square setting.
Unusual decorative items like a full-size carousel horse, a mechanical
songbird and original wall paintings of European castles will conjure up
memories of Walt Disney and the inspirations that went into creating the
magical world of Disneyland.

The Suite features not one, but two Master Bedrooms. In one, the spirit
of early 20th century innovation and the American frontier are summoned
with an earthy color scheme, leather furniture, a cast-iron stove, an
electric train and vintage mechanical toys. The other Master Bedroom is
on the side of the residence nearest Adventureland, and its lush décor
and atmosphere evoke the exotic flavor of jungle adventure stories as
told in the Victorian era.

The Bayou-themed Patio, central to the Disneyland Dream Suite and open
to the sky above, is filled with tropical vegetation, furnished with
comfortable chaises and illuminated by Chinese lanterns. Using a type of
Disney magic familiar to guests on Pirates of the Caribbean, the Patio
is also visited by fireflies.

As guests settle in for a stay in the Disneyland Dream Suite, they’ll
discover special effects surprises in each room. It could be a special
tune in a striking clock, a sunset or a starscape that appears when the
lights go down, subtle audio enhancements, or something totally
unexpected.

The Disneyland Dream Suite will be the supreme addition to the catalog
of "dreams come true" at the Disneyland Resort during the 2008 Disney
Dreams Giveaway as the Disney Dream Squad delivers dreams, large and
small, to eligible guests selected through a random process. For
information on how to enter by mail without visiting the parks, please
see below.

The 2008 Disney Dreams Giveaway is part of the Year of a Million Dreams
at Disney Parks. At Disneyland Park, the popular immersive entertainment
experiences will continue to thrill guests at Disney Princess Fantasy
Faire, Jedi Training Academy and Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island. And
at Disney’s California Adventure Park, guests young and old will be
dancing to the beat of the new High School Musical 2: School’s Out!
street show, inspired by the megahit Disney Channel original movie. For

Production Update: Epcot's World Showcase 25th Anniversary Collectors Edition 2-DVD Set

Hi everyone and welcome back for another update. I am well into
production on my current project
Jeff Lange Remembers Epcot’s World Showcase 25th Anniversary 2-DVD Set
.
This will feature the original Mexico attraction El Rio de Tiempo
, a vintage full circle tour of World Showcase from atop a Double
Decker OmniBus
, Norway’s Maelstrom, The original American
Adventure
, Skylaidescope lagoon spectacular, Surprise in
the Skies
and much more.


I have been getting many emails lately requesting the
Epcot Center
original attraction, Mexico’s El Rio de Tiempo boat ride
. This will be covered extensively with complete vintage ride thru’s from
1991 and 1993 plus full coverage of the exterior, que and exit areas.
Also included are detailed 2006 ride thru’s recorded just before the
ride closed forever.


One of the true gems I discovered is a full circle tour of World
Showcase
recorded in 1991 from the top of a Double Decker Omnibus
! I had forgotten how much fun these were. If anyone knows why these were
discontinued please let me know (I imagine it was for safety or crowding
issues).



Also included is a complete multi-angle presentation of the daytime
lagoon show Surprise in the Skies featuring the worlds largest
daytime fireworks display. Boats, kites, paraplanes, hang gliders,
fireworks and giant balloons of the Disney characters dressed for their
various countries (above)!

Please check back soon for another photo update featuring Norway’s
Maelstrom
, The original American Adventure and the
Skylaidescope
lagoon spectacular. I hope to have this ready for
release by the end of next week.

Search for First Ever Disney Park Chief of Magic Official Is On

BURBANK, CA., JANUARY 8, 2008 – Do you wish your M.D. really
stood for "Magic Director?" Or perhaps that your Ph.D. had something to
do with Pixie Dust? As millions of Americans resolve to search for a new
job this New Year, Disney Parks may have just the position they’ve been
waiting for!

To prove that making dreams come true is no longer reserved for fairy
godmothers, CareerBuilder.com today launched the search for the
first-ever Disney Parks Chief Magic Official (CMO) who will spread magic
during The Year of a Million Dreams.

The search for the CMO is part of The Year of a Million Dreams, where
this year more than one million more dreams will be granted to guests at
Disney Parks. This celebration includes incredible new attractions,
parades, interactive entertainment and much more!

"We’re looking for that perfect someone to serve alongside our talented
Cast of dream makers," said Craig Dezern, Vice President, Global Public
Relations, Disney Parks. "The CMO will serve as an ambassador of dreams
to help create the magic that only Disney can bring to its guests.

"Whatever you dreamed of being when you were growing up, chances are
some of your plans hit a snag along the way," said Richard Castellini, a
spokesperson for CareerBuilder.com. "In fact, in a recent survey of over
6,000 workers, only 15 percent said they were actually in their dream
jobs. The Disney Parks CMO will have the unique opportunity to live out
his or her dream and bring a little magic to the lives of others."

DO YOU HAVE THE CHARACTER TO BE THE CMO?

Beginning May 1, 2008, the part-time CMO will help create magical
experiences for guests, participate in special events at Disney Parks
and meet Disney’s real "masters of magic" – the Imagineers.

The ideal CMO candidate must be happy, never grumpy; able to easily
befriend dwarfs, dogs, monsters and mice; have good manners – but also
be able to pillage and plunder with pirates when necessary. Also
required: pockets full of pixie dust, an aversion to poisonous apples,
an interest in oversized teacups and flying elephants and, most
importantly, a belief in all things magical.

The position will require travel, including travel to Disneyland and
Walt Disney World Resorts, during the week and some weekends and
holidays. While traveling as the Disney Parks CMO, he/she will receive
an hourly rate of compensation for hours spent performing the CMO role,
as well as airfare, accommodations and a spending allowance.

"The CMO position is an opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has
always wanted to be part of the Disney family," said Dezern. "We will
look for the ideal candidate to be naturally outgoing and optimistic,
and have a great sense of humor as well as a passion for spreading
Disney magic to our guests."

SHOW YOUR DISNEY MAGIC

Beginning January 8 and continuing through January 27, interested
applicants can visit www.DreamCMO.com and take the "Magic Aptitude Test"
(M.A.T.) to see if they have what it takes to be the first-ever Disney
Parks Chief Magic Official. Along with the results of the M.A.T.,
candidates will be asked to show their Disney magic by submitting a 60
second video resume – online at www.DreamCMO.com – which captures their
personality and visually and verbally supports why they would make the
ideal CMO.

MICKEY’S APPRENTICE

A magical panel of judges will select the top 10 video resumes, which
will be posted to www.DreamCMO.com
and voted on by America. The top three vote-getters will take part in a
three-day event at Walt Disney World Resort that will test their
creativity, enthusiasm, knowledge of the Parks and magic aptitude.
Throughout the three-day event, candidates will be videotaped and the
videos will be posted on
www.DreamCMO.com
to be voted on by America. The top vote-getter will
be named the Disney Parks Chief Magic Official.
