This is website owner Carlene Thie and her Irish Jack Russel dog, Minnie.
Minnie isn’t one who enjoys dressing up, she leave’s that to her mom April who loves it. Yet being in a family where there isn’t any small kids, Minnie & April get the fun clothes and the torture of wearing them.
Yet one has too admit she looks adorable and is being a great sport about it!

Ron Dominguez
Former Executive Vice President of Walt Disney Attractions, currently Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Ron Dominguez is a "native Disneylander." Originally, his family owned and lived on 10 acres of the orange grove-covered property, which was purchased by Walt Disney for his premier theme park in 1954.
"Our house was located right about where the entrance to Pirates of the Caribbean and Café Orleans are today," he recalled. "The day we moved out in August of 1954, we were walking in ditches and holes. Things were popping up around us because construction had to move ahead. They built Disneyland in a year."
You can read Ron Dominguez insert in “Homecoming Destination Disneyland” book.
Disney Legend Art Linketter was born July 17th 1912; and lives in the great Los Angles area today. In the Disney world Art is known for being on of Walt Disney friends .

Francis Xavier Atencio (born July 1919 in Walsenburg, Colorado) also known as X Atencio, is a former animator and Imagineer for The Walt Disney Company.
He was a Disney artist from 1938 until 1965, when he became an Imagineer to help design the Disneyland Railroad’s Primeval World diorama segment. He then contributed to various Disney attractions. He wrote the script for both Adventure Thru Inner Space and Pirates of the Caribbean , for which he also penned the lyrics to the theme song, “Yo Ho A Pirates Life for Me” and provided the voice of the talking skull early on in the attraction. He also wrote the script for the Haunted Mansion, including the lyrics to that attraction's theme song, “Grim Grinning Ghost” . His voice can also be heard emanating from the coffin in the Haunted Mansion's conservatory ("Hey! Let me out of here!") and, in the Disneyland mansion, when the attraction comes to a temporary stop it is his voice which announces, "Playful spooks have interrupted our tour. Please remain seated in your Doom Buggies."
Atencio retired from The Walt Company in 1984 and was named a Disney Legend in 1996.
