    Still Fun To Watch

    This is on the Disney Channel frequently, and I find myself still being amuzed by it. I think it's because Walt Disney himself was the host. Walt Disney always seems like he could have been a relative to some people. He always feels like family. Plus, some of the programs are still very interesting. There are several programs about the soon to open theme park, as well as many features about the making of some of the movies.

    Memories for every child

    When I was growing up every Sunday night meant the world to me and many others to watch the wonderful world of Disney I think they should bring back to ABC for many reasons so many things has changed with families Technology of the internet and cell phones family just isn't family anymore but the one thing that would bring it back is every Sunday the whole family was in front of the TV watching that one special movie it wouldn't hurt to try it again it'll make a lot of families very very happy

    Still the Man!

    Walt Disney was a genius! He really knew what he was doing when he made all those fantastic films. I met Mr. Disney when I was about 8 years old as my father worked at Disney Studios as an animator. Mr. Disney, Or UNCLE WALT is what he preferred, was very nice, warm, friendly, and above all the nicest man I have ever met.

    Disney has achieved many great things even after his death in 1967, it just goes to show that as Walt once said,"As long as their is imagination".... which proves the heart of Disney films today still lives. Walt was very strict in a lot of things, and demanded the best, but in the end, Walt was very thankful to his staff for doing a great job. As a child, I was fascinated by his ability to create such wonderful stories, films, and shows. Every Sunday night, we would gather round our new color TV and watch Walt Disney.

    Later in years, I never dreamed that I would be selected as a cast member of Kids of the Kingdom, a musical ensemble in Disneyland. It was a fun time, and really loved performing. what most people don't know is, the Disney Family had an apartment in Main Street USA.

    Disney today is still magical as my own kids just love the classics I grew up with. ONe of his all time great classics was Mary Poppins. Still one of my favorites.

    Walt's spirit lives on in all of us. As he once said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible!" Thanks Walt.

    One of my top fav shows as a kid

    This is one of my all-time to fav shows when I was a young.

    I still think the earlier episodes were the best, especially with Walt Disney hosting and the great animation.

    I always used to prefer the animation and comedy shows to the drama.

    I especially loved the fun educational shows like the ones on the atom, driving and Donald in Mathemagicland.

    And especially the ones with Ludvig von Drake - he was excellent!!!

    And the music was totally awesome - especially the original theme.

    One of my fondest memories of childhood!!!

    Definitely top class!!!!

    Probably one of the best variety style show ever made

    Disneyland was most likely one of the best variety style shows ever made. Each week there was something different to watch and many of the shows were nominated and/or received Emmy's for their consistent quality and interesting subject matter. My personal favorites include Monsters From the Deep('54) and Operation UnderSea('54). Disneyland can be seen occasionally in the "Vault Disney" timeslot on the Disney Channel which begins at 11:00pm every night. Please note that this show was not specifically about the Disney Theme park and was renamed appropriately following Disneyland's opening in 1955

    • Trivia
      The Disney feature-length movies were, at first, either edited down to one hour, or broadcast in two or more weekly installments, one hour per week. It was not until the mid 1970s, that Disney Studios finally broadcast one of their feature-length movies complete in one evening, the way all other movies were usually telecast on network television.
