My apologies, folks. I know that JHM has been extremely light on content this past week or so. But I have been traveling. Dear Lord, have I been traveling.

Jim Hill
For a little while there, as I was watching the Halloween episode of " Kick Buttowski - Suburban Daredevil " (which premieres tonight on Disney XD between 7:30 - 8 p.m. ET/PT), I thought that I had stumbled upon this genuinely cool theme park history-related story. Mellowbrook at night. Please...

Remembering Wally Boag & Betty Taylor, the stars of Disneyland's long-running Golden Horseshoe Revue
Jim Hill
Back in the early 1960s, whenever Walt Disney himself escorted dignitaries around Disneyland , there were always a few rides & shows that Walt would insist that his guests experience with him while they were in the Park. Walt let Jawaharlal Nehru take a turn at the wheel on the Jungle Cruise when...

Disneyland favorite Dana Daniels to appear at Wizardz Magic Theater on Monday night

For the better part of five years now, I have been waiting on “Wally Boag: Clown Prince of Disneyland” (August 2009, Disney Editions). Ever since I first learned that this project was in the works, I have been dying to get my hands on Gene Sands & Wally ’s book. So imagine my surprise last week when...

Steve Martin's "Born Standing Up" is an outstanding show business memoir
Jim Hill
How many of you out there remember Steve Martin , stand-up comic ? That absurdist in the white three-piece suit who -- as he was leading audience singalongs -- would say: This half of the room! Beautiful! Now this half! Good, good! All right, two fifths! Now, three-fifths! Good. Seven-ninths! Two-ninths...
