This article comes to us from WDW Prince. Paul was able to get some insider exclusive information he wanted to pass onto us.
Roland Fargo Crump is a true Disney legend. In fact, he is a certified legend with his own window on Main Street in Disneyland. One of the original Disney Imagineers to work closely with Walt Disney, Rolly was directly involved with the design of attractions such as It’s A Small World, Haunted Mansion and Enchanted Tiki Room. His career with Disney spans over 40 years.
I am pleased to help spread the word about Rolly Crump’s latest project. Mr Crump recently let me know about the launch of his new audio tour of Disneyland just released this week. The cost is $5 for a downloadable mp3 file or cd. To be able to take a tour of Disneyland’s attractions with the insight, stories and shared secrets that only Rolly Crump knows-that is priceless.
Check out the audio sample to get a taste.
To purchase this mp3 head on over to WDW Prince where they have a link to download this Disney Exclusive.

Shining in the musical spotlight long before the popularity of glee clubs, several Central Florida student choirs have made a tradition of illuminating the holidays with their gift of song
For nearly 40 years, hundreds of local chorale groups have provided the vocal brilliance for the Candlelight Processional at Walt Disney World Resort and in return, many of them have made this Disney experience part of their own personal holiday tradition.
At many schools, students begin rehearsing as early as August to prepare for their auditions in September. Once selected, students adhere to a rigorous rehearsal schedule which continues through November when more than 100 students are pitch-perfect and ready to perform.
Hundreds of musical groups look forward to the opportunity to sing in Candlelight Processional and regard the event as a prestigious honor. Aspiring singers are presented with a unique opportunity to perform under the formal direction of a skilled conductor, along with a live orchestra and celebrity narrator. In addition, the students perform on a professional stage before a global audience. According to the students’ teachers, they also have the chance to sing with several other choir groups from around the United States and appreciate learning to sing in two other languages – Spanish and German.

The Walt Disney Co.‘s theme-park division is eliminating almost a quarter of the jobs within its global business-development group, the unit charged within identifying future growth opportunities for Disney’s $11 billion-a-year parks business.
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts will cut 14 jobs — including 11 in Orlando — from the roughly 65-person global development team.
Disney said the move is designed to eliminate some of the overlap created nearly two years ago when it merged business development with real-estate development as part of broader corporate restructuring. More than half of the jobs will be culled from the real-estate group, whose Disney World projects include Golden Oak, a luxury-home subdivision being built near the Magic Kingdom, and Flamingo Crossings, a long-stalled retail-and-lodging district aimed at budget travelers.
“This will enable us to better align our approach to business development across the segment, eliminate duplication of efforts, and streamline our decision-making,” Disney World spokeswoman Andrea Finger said Thursday.
