Disney Legend Fulton Burley

Disney Legend Fulton Burley

Disney Legend Fulton Burley, June 12, 1922 – May 7, 2007, performed as an Irish tenor at Disneyland’s Golden Horseshoe Revue from 1962 to 1987. His is also the voice of “Michael,” one of the macaw hosts of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room.

Burley was born in Tipperary and raised in Ontario, coming to the United States in 1943 after landing a singing lead in the Broadway musical, Diamond Horseshoe Revue. He continued to tour the United States after World War Two, performing primarily in musical comedies. It was during this time that Burley honed what would become a near-legendary repertoire of jokes.

Space Mountain Opens at Disneyland

May 1977 – Space Mountain Opened in Disneyland

Space Mountain at Disneyland

Space Mountain Opens at Disneyland

Attention space travelers: It was on this day in 1977 that Space Mountain first blasted off guests at Disneyland, rocketing them into a simulation of outer space aboard a roller coaster dark ride. But this attraction, still as popular as ever today, actually has a history that goes back to the 1960s. Disney Legend John Hench designed the attraction years before the technology needed to make it come to life was readily available. The first Space Mountain opened in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in 1975, and, proving successful, it landed at Disneyland two years later, with the first American men in space — U.S. Mercury Astronauts Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard, Donald “Deke” Slayton and Betty Grissom (widow of Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom) — on hand for the opening ceremonies. Over the years, the attraction has seen improvements with all-new visual effects and a fully synchronized onboard audio soundtrack. The next time you walk thru the queue for the attraction, take a look around at the symbol for “Space Station 77,” paying homage to the year Space Mountain first took flight.

Take a Virtual Ride on Space Mountain!

Disney’s Empress Lilly Riverboat

Disney’s Empress Lilly Riverboat

 

Empress Lilly Riverboat

 

A Mississippi Sternwheeler on the Buena Vista Lagoon
The Empress Lilly was named after Walt Disney’s wife and was an authentic re-creation of a 220-foot 19th-century paddle-wheeler decorated in Louis XV style.  It opened on May 1, 1977 and was christened by Lillian Disney.  It had several different dining options and lounges.  The Starboard Lounge had appetizers such as chicken liver pate, sauteed crab meat, oysters and clams.  There were also after dinner drinks such as Buena Vista Coffee and Starboard Coffee.  The Promenade Lounge was located above The Starboard Lounge and was more of a sitting area.
Special events included “Monday Night Huddles” that were held from September to December of 1980.  Members of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would discuss the previous day’s game, show play-by-plays and respond to questions from the audience before the Monday night game was show on a large screen.  There was also a character breakfast in the morning.  It was one of the few character breakfasts during the park’s early years (seatings were at 9 and 10:30 a.m.) and kids that attended would receive a certificate or a pennant.  In addition to memorabilia from the breakfast, there was an Empress Lilly coin produced as well as some buttons and pins.
The boat closed on April 22, 1995 and reopened as a Levy Restaurant called Fulton’s Crab House on March 10, 1996.  Some changes once Fulton’s took over was that the smokestacks and paddle wheel were removed and a gaudy sign was added on to the boat.   In early 2016, Fulton’s closed for refurbishment and reopened in the fall of 2016 as Paddlefish.  The paddle wheel and smokestacks back on the boat.
