Turtle Nesting Season is approaching.

Thousands of female sea turtles emerge from the ocean to lay their eggs. Vero Beach has been one of their nesting habitats since the time of the dinosaurs. Two months after their nests have been built, the eggs hatch and scores of tiny turtles emerge from the sand at night and clamber into the water. 3 species of sea turtles can be observed at Disney’s Vero Beach: loggerheads, greens and leatherbacks. Disney has contributed about $1.26 million to sea turtle conservation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund.

Disney’s scientists from Animal Kingdom have an entire an entire team that partnered with Florida’s Fish and Wildlife to monitor and protect these turtles. Guests that book the Turtle Tours by Disney enjoy a presentation as well as witness the wonders of nature unfold.

Meet Captain Ron of the Disney Animal Kingdom Turtle Team”

Guests get to observe the nesting experience with night vision goggles and radio earpieces.

Turtle Night Walks start June 1st.

CaribbeanDays can book your stay at Vero Beach along with a Turtle Night Walk Tour.

February 15, 1989, the Disney film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was nominated for several Oscar Award in multiple categories.

Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, was responsible for initiating “The Disney Decade”, which included creating the Who Framed Roger Rabbit franchise as a project within “The Disney Decade”.

Little Disney insider tip! If you ever hear the term used, “Bumping the Lamp” from a Disney cast member, this is a quote developed by former Disney CEO, Michael Eisner. The term originated in reference to a scene from the Disney film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” This film had a masterful use of live action with animation. In one particular scene, Roger, hiding in a darkened room bumps his head on a lamp which causes shadows to continuously move throughout the remainder of the scene. As originally written (and animated), the “bump” did NOT occur. The director, after seeing the rough cut, decided that it would be funnier if the “bump” occurred. The animators had to go back to the drawing board to re-create the entire animation sequence, hundreds of drawings, to accommodate the shadow. All of this effort, just to make a better product.

The term to “bump the lamp” in house at Disney is an expression used for extra effort to make an improvement on a program/incident/event/guest experience.

Bump the Lamp Scene from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

In Disney’s Echo Lake you can see some offices above the restaurants. One of these offices belongs to the Private Detective, Eddie Valiant, from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The outline of Roger can been seen in the Window with the destroyed blinds!

“Na’vi River Journey is a very sweet, lyrical adventure through a spectacular visual environment that just becomes more and more spectacular as you go on,” explains Joe Rohde, Walt Disney Imagineering portfolio creative executive. The bioluminescent activity of the plants around you unfolds in richer and richer scenes in really just a very uplifting, wonderful kind of journey.”

The journey builds to an encounter with the remarkable Shaman of Songs. Like most Na’vi, she is nearly 10 feet tall.

Music is central in Na’vi culture. Guests observe the shaman in the midst of a musical ceremony, playing an instrument and singing. Through her music, the shaman sends positive energy into the rainforest, telling of the sacred bond with nature that Na’vi and humans share.

February 9, 1942, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominates the Disney film, Dumbo, for an Oscar.

Disney’s featured song in Dumbo, Baby Mine, also received an Oscar in the category of Music.

~~Baby mine, don’t you cry…Baby mine, dry your eyes…Rest your head close to my heart…Never to part…Baby of mine~~ Dumbo is considered to be “The most emotional film In Disney history”. It was the first Disney film to be set in America and the first Disney appearances for Sterling Holloway (the Stork) and Verna Felton (Mrs. Jumbo). Both would become regular cast members.

Disney is creating a live-action remake of Dumbo with Tim Burton directing! For fun, did you know when Harry S. Truman visited Disneyland in 1957, he refused to ride the Dumbo attraction; because, Truman, a Democrat, didn’t want to be seen riding in a symbol of the Republican party? LOL!

Disney has backstage tours. Recently added to these tours is a four-hour “Ultimate Disney Classics VIP Tour”. It includes access to at least 10 classic attractions, including: “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Jungle Cruise”, “Dumbo Flying Elephant”, “Small World”, “Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid”, and “Peter Pan’s Flight”. Guests will have also have an audience with Mickey Mouse.

Would you like to ride Dumbo? CaribbeanDays can take you here!

My favorite Disney voice actor is Thurl Ravenscroft, February 6, 1914 – May 22, 2005.

Ravenscroft was born in Norfolk, Nebraska. He served as a navigator in the WWII Air Transport Command (thank you for your service!).

As an accomplished singer, he performed with The Sportsmen, The Mellomen, The Johnny Mann Singers, and many major stars, including Jim Nabors and Elvis Presley. He is best known; however, for his booming bass voice and mellifluous voiceovers, particularly as the voice of Tony the Tiger in both English and Spanish commercials for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes cereal from 1953 to 2004. He was also the singer of, “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” in the 1966 Chuck Jones holiday special “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. In 1996, he and his wife June retired in Southern California, although he still did occasional voice-over work as Tony the Tiger until his death.

His voice can be heard in several Disney theme park attractions, including The Haunted Mansion (as the lead singing bust), Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room (as Fritz, Tangaroa and some of the Tiki Masks), Country Bear Jamboree (as Buff), Pirates of the Caribbean (as several singing pirates), and as a former narrator on the Disneyland Railroad. He also voiced the herald declaring Sleeping Beauty Castle open during Disneyland’s opening day.
