This Day in Disneyland History Feb. 22 - Washington's Birthday 1968

ButchyBoy · 02-22-2007, 10:49 AM

Time once again to spin the 50 plus year Wheel of Time and see where it lands. Round and round she goes and today we visit the year......

1968 - It's Washington's Birthday, school is out and there's big things happing over at the Tomorrowland Stage. The Kids of the Kingdom have the day off, and top-rated childern's TV star, Sherrif John is in town. And it looks like he's brought the entire beloved KTTV posse with him. There's Baby Daphne, Mr. Wishbone, and Billy Barty as well, entertaing the standing room only crowd. They're all singing "Put Another Canndle on My Birthday Cake" to some very lucky boys and girls in the audiance. But there's more......much much more. The stars of Walt Disney's latest smash animated hit "The Jungle Book" are here as well. There's Mowgli and his friend Baloo, singing and dancing about "The Bare Necessities". And there, the fun-loving King Louie is hamming it up with the famous Marquis Chimps. They all just "Wanna Be Like You". Mickey and Minnie can be seen as well. Joining in all this holiday fun are the comic team of Skiles and Henderson, and escaping out of the Enchanted Tiki Room are Ken Allen's Feathered Friends. This jam-packed one day only 45 minute show is being performed 4 times today.

This magical trip in time was made possible from accounts and ads appearing in the Long Beach Independant Feb 21-22-23, 1968
