    Rivers of America have finally finished their construction!! There are so many things that they changed it’s crazy! Courtesy of Disney Park Blogs they have mad a list of the changes and additions they made to the wild frontier.

    Here’s a recap of some of the major changes:

    The area was themed in a brand-new way and divided into four regions to resemble the areas around four U.S. rivers: the Mississippi, the Columbia, the Potomac     and the Rio Grande.
    A new, 2,500-foot track for the Mark Twain Riverboat and the Sailing Ship Columbia was installed for the first time since the park opened in 1955.
    For the first time, live animals have been introduced to the banks of the river, and a corral was built just for them. Don’t miss the real, live horse in the video. It’s real – it’s not an Audio Animatronic!
    The burning cabin was re-themed. The new resident of the cabin is none other than Mike Fink, Davy Crockett’s rival and later his friend. Mike Fink’s Keel Boat can now be found in front of the cabin.


    There are several new scenes in the attraction, including:
    Deer drinking from a creek
    Native American braves on Tom Sawyer Island
    Raccoons spied by a skunk
    Mountain lions hiding in the grass

    Happy Birthday Disneyland! I can’t believe it has been 55 years already. Yesterday, July 17, was the 55th anniversary of the Happiest Place on Earth. Born on July 17, 1955, the park took one year and one day to complete. What Walt had created had never been done before and was a brand new idea for mankind, better yet, a brand new dream. Disneyland, may your magic live on, and let your magical power of making dreams come true live on.

    This week’s Disney Fun Fact is:

    The bright Carribean tune for “Under the Sea” for Disney’s The Little Mermaid was born on a farm in Pennsylvania. Looking for a feel for the little crustacean’s key/note song, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken struggled  a bit until they rediscovered calypso while working at Alan’s farm. The catchy tune helped define exactly who Sebastian is.

    This weeks Fun Fact is:

    The tapping sound coming from the Depot at the Disneyland Railroad station in New Orleans Square is a line from Walt’s opening day speech ["To all who come to this happy place, welcome..."] in a varient of Morse code. However, early on in the park’s history, the designers varied the messages, and often, for fun, they would make them off-color comments- until Walt happened to mention that his wife had been a telegraph operator and could decipher Morse code.
