CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It is Day Two of my birthday, and how good of the Lucas Museum to open just for the occasion! 110
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 22/09/2026No birthday is complete without a piece of birthday cake! 010
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Picking up my birthday lunch with Cameron today, and I feel like a King! 470
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I have heard that the red cups tend to meet a grisly fate within the first ten minutes… 021
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Spotted a rainbow over the last two remaining ticket booths on the east side of the Esplanade at the #Disneyland Resort tonight… 081
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 06/09/2026And this is what I am currently up to. Tonight is the Founding Member Opening Party for the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Arts. I am very happy to be here. 020
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I was walking out of Disneyland tonight, and there she was. Just standing there. So, of course, I had to get a photo… 180
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Thanks to social media friends who were posting photos, I was reminded of the partial lunar eclipse tonight. I had a clear view of it from out in the yard and it looked great! I even managed to grab a couple of photos with my iPhone… #LunarEclipse 010
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Where else would I be for the 71st birthday (really, 71) of Disneyland? 010
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 15/07/2026This seems as good a day as any to remind everyone that it is not illegal to criticize the President of the United States, or to criticize the policies of their Administration. You may even do so using the strongest possible language. 919157
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Such sad news today that we have lost our dear Tinker Bell, Margaret Kerry. Back in 2002 she kindly invited me to escort her to the premiere of Return to Neverland. Thank you Margaret, for the friendship, the fun, and all that pixie dust! We will be looking at that second star to the right tonight. 040
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Has anyone else here heard about the One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band declining to perform at the Freedom 250 Concert on the National Mall? 120
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 20/05/2026A very happy 85th birthday to original Mouseketeer Bobby Burgess! In January of 2001 I had the pleasure of serving as one of the volunteers at Walt Disney’s Carolwood barn as Bobby made a personal appearance, greeting fans and posing for pictures. 020
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Winnie the Pooh was first published 100 years ago! These rather dog-eared copies I am sharing were purchased nearly twenty years ago at an estate sale in Flintridge. Can you make out the name stamped on the inside covers? Oliver M. Johnston, Jr. (Yes, that would be Ollie, to his many admirers!) 151
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 05/05/2026May the Fourth be with you! If you are the owner of one of these posters, it was personally handled by my late wife. Her father was one of the founding staff of NPR. Her first job as an intern included rolling, packing and shipping every single one of these that a listener wrote in and requested. 371
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 17/03/2026A happy St. Patrick’s Day to you, from the social media team at Walt Disney World, who inadvertently created a new mascot(?) I find absolutely terrifying (or at the least, unsettling). 010
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 23/02/2026Who missed the memo on this one? What good is #192 Lock and #193 Barrel without Shock?!? In an assortment of ten there’s room for just one girl (Sally)? And who is Pajama Jack??? 150
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 08/02/2026And here I am today, 25 years later, once again opening Disney California Adventure. The park and I have barely changed… 030
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 08/02/2026This is where I was 25 years ago this morning… among the first 30 paying guests at the brand new Disney’s California Adventure park! 171
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 08/02/2026This is where I was 25 years ago tonight, looking across the esplanade from #Disneyland park on the freezing cold night before the opening of Disney’s California Adventure. 063
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Apparently, today is the day we all post our photos with Josh D’Amaro. I have added an Easter Egg to mine. Have you found where Josh left his signature in the EnginearEar Souvenirs shop? 150
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 27/01/2026I was headed to my favorite TV watching chair, only to find… “Look at me. I am the captain now.” 010
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 12/01/202625 years ago TODAY Downtown Disney officially opened at the new #Disneyland Resort. California Adventure and the Grand Californian would follow on February 8. Here is my article about the opening days of DtD over at DapsMagic. dapsmagic.com/2026/01/down...dapsmagic.comDowntown Disney Celebrates 25 Years as a Part of the Disneyland ResortDoug shares a photo-intensive look back at the opening of Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort, 25 years later. 4363
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Cat rescue at Disneyland! While parking, I saw a galloping little critter in my passenger mirror. Just as I realized it was a cat, it leaped sideways into a fence, and tumbled under the cars behind me. She performed the same stunt a couple more times until… she was coaxed out and brought in! Whew! 060
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Don’t feel bad if you haven’t taken your tree down yet. This was at #Disneyland today… 1171
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 01/01/2026I am seeing out 2025 in the Upsidedown! With Cam for the final episode of Stranger Things at the Spectrum Center Regal. 000
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Merry Christmas to all from the Happiest Place on Earth! (Sharing an image from the cover of a vintage Union Pacific Railroad Disneyland souvenir songbook.) 030

CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 13/12/2025You will be seeing a lot of vintage photos of Dick van Dyke today, as he celebrates his 100th birthday. Here he is, mugging for the camera with one of his co-stars from Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N. (1966). Happy birthday! 030
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Happy Thanksgiving! (I had one last carved pumpkin in me for this year!) 040
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Today marks the 97th anniversary of Mickey Mouse’s public debut and, according to convention, his birthday. Happy Birthday, Mickey Mouse! 010
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 17/11/2025I have heard that the most thankless task at Disneyland is being the guy who has to check the base of the Town Square Christmas tree for loose bulbs. 030
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 09/11/202581 degrees at the Merriest Place on Earth and I am. Just. Not. Feeling it, yet. #Disneyland 000
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 19/10/2025In case you had not heard, you can catch me on Oct. 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, or 31 as I officially carve pumpkins at the Disneyland Resort. I will be at the Disneyland Hotel from noon to 3 and the Grand Californian from 5-8. Stop by and say hello! 1101
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 08/09/2025By this point I just think of Herb Ryman’s tree the way I think of Shamu. It’s more of a concept than an actual whale. 070
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Note to self: If it’s too big for carry-on, perhaps it’s not a good souvenir to purchase… 021
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 15/08/2025Now this, this, is an historical marker. On a legitimately historical property. 030
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 03/08/2025O. M. W. They actually did it. I’ll start: “Although small” (and a dedicated space within a structure), it has the ability to sit. Discuss. 050
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 27/07/2025I was honored to do my part to support the annual San Diego Comic Con Robert Heinlein Blood Drive by donating two units today. And how appropriate to do so while cosplaying Dr. John Hammond from Jurassic Park. 031
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Enough! This is like watching a toddler with cake smeared on his face and hands loudly proclaiming that a bad man came into the house and stole the cake. 000
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 17/07/2025A pedantic reminder that #Disneyland first opened its doors to guests on July 18, 1955. Today marks the 70th anniversary of the day invited guests celebrated the dedication of the park for a live, televised event. 020
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Sabrina Carpenter’s name has been crossing my Disney social media feed today, for some reason. It reminded me of a visit I made on April 23, 2014, to the Disney Music Group. She was giving a “lunch time concert” to introduce her EP. Was this the next Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, or Bridgit Mendler? 010
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 05/06/2025I don’t really know why, but Tuesday night I just felt like enjoying a TACO. 000
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Hmmm, a major milestone passed a few days ago with no fanfare whatsoever. May 22 marked the 27th anniversary of New Tomorrowland… In tribute, here are my very own rare photos of Paul Pressler signing autographs! And with it— an actual autograph, signed! (Matched with the previous day’s gate flyer.) 000
CallDougMarsh @calldougmarsh.bsky.social · 27/05/2025What better way to kick off the summer than with a Memorial Day 50th anniversary screening of Jaws? But first, a trip to Dana Point Harbor to make sure there were no sharks cruising the baby beach… 010
