Hey #Denville, we will be celebrating Lunar New Year from February 12-24, 2018 in #DowntownDenville !

Disney Legend Esmond Cardon Walker (Card Walker), January 9, 1916 – November 28, 2005, was President of The Walt Disney Company from ’71-’77, CEO from ’76-’83, and Chairman from ’80-’83.

He proudly served his country as a Flight Control Officer aboard aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill during ’43-’45.

Walker served an integral role in the development of Walt Disney World in Florida as well as the opening of EPCOT and Disneyland Tokyo. He is actually considered one of the ‘6 fathers of Walt Disney World’.

Walker was also the founder of the Disney Channel.

Card Walker’s Main Street Window can be seen above the Emporium and reads: “Dr. Card Walker – Licensed Practitioner of Psychiatry – And Justice of the Peace – “We Never Close” (Except for Golf)”

popularity around the world, and is a major driving force behind the thriving do-it-yourself craft movement.

In the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki room

Well, you won’t see lorikeets in the tiki room; but you will hear Thurl Ravenscroft!

1963, Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room opened to the public. The Tiki Room was unlike anything seen before. It was a technological marvel that used state-of-the-art computers to create characters that talked, moved and even breathed in a lifelike way. This was Disney’s first use of Audio Animatronics with cast member and Imagineer Lee Adams.

Contact CaribbeanDays to book your stay at Disney and visit the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room!

“That Monstro, I’ve heard of him! He’s a whale of a whale! Why, he swallows whole ships, alive!” ―Jiminy Cricket

In Disney’s Pinocchio, the animators of Monstro were inspired by Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, the sperm whale!

The voice of Monstro was by Disney Legend, Thurl Ravenscroft.

Thurl Ravenscroft may be more commonly recognized by many as the voice of Tony The Tiger (They’re GREEAAT!) or the singer of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”; but his voice is heard throughout Disney.

Book a stay at Disney and see how many place you can find and hear Thurl!

The new age Pirates are holding the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean for ransom!

Yes, I am calling the hackers pirates because the most infamous hackers’ group identifies with the flag of Captain Jack Rackham:

Flag of Jack Rackham

Flag of an infamous hacker group

And no, I have no knowledge as to which hacker group was involved. I just felt it ironic that the pirates are held ransom by pirates.
