When You Wish Upon A Star

Did you know that it's the 70th anniversary of the Walt Disney classic movie PINOCCHIO?
Did you know that the theme song of the movie "When You Wish Upon A Star" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song that year?
Did you know that the all new digitally restored version is playing now at the El Capitan Theatre?
Did you know that you have until Feb 12th to go see it there?
Did you know that Disneyland is not the only place to see PINOCCHIO live & in person?



I went to see it & I really enjoyed it.
I also got to see Dickie Roberts (the voice of Pinocchio) talk about his experience with Walt Disney,
and what it was like to do this movie.

We all know the story...
about a wooden puppet who is brought to life,
but can only become a real boy if he proves himself "brave, truthful, and unselfish"
Not a bad lesson to learn in an afternoon!

Disney's BOLT at El Capitan Theatre = Fully Awesome!

We got to go somewhere very special this past week!
We went to see the new Disney movie:
"BOLT" at Hollywood's legendary El Capitan Theatre!
I know a very brave thing to do with a 14 month old, right?
Well it started off with a pre-show. But not just any ol' show, Disney's Holiday Spectacular to be exact! Starring Mickey, Minnie, the Princesses, Woody, Buzzlight Year and a very Goofy Santa Claus! It was very festive! It really got me in the holiday mood!
And there was one really big surprise: SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
It ended with a white winter wonderland Disney Style! I felt like I was on Main Street! Kaia was spellbound! Her first holiday show! Yay! I wish I could've gotten a picture, but they check your cameras in at the door! Bummer...
Then as if that wasn't enough excitement.... We still had a movie to watch! Which by the way was GREAT!! I'm sure you know the story. A dog who is an actor who think he has all of these super-powers. But in reality he does not. He gets lost from him "human" and he has to find his way back minus the powers. He makes some friends along the way that help him on his long journey home.
There was also a twist.... The movie is shown in 3-D. Yep, you get the 3D Glasses at the door. Granted Kaia wouldn't keep them on, so I didn't wear them either. But either way it looked very cool! This would be a great show to take the family to over the long Thanksgiving weekend, or even during Christmas break! You have a limited time as it leaves the El Capitan Theatre on January 4, 2009. Daily Showtimes are 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm & 9:55pm. Get your tickets at the El Capitan Online. You could also call 1-800-DISNEY6 for more info.
*A special thank you to Scott for helping to make it a magical day for everyone!
