An Introduction

 

 

 

Welcome to the Mini Theme Park Blog! We are going to have a lot of fun here as we create an HO-scale train and theme park layout in our garage. But, before we get too far, a short introduction.

My name is Don and I am a big Disneyland fan. I have worked for both the Disney Store and the Disneyland Resort and was the creator of Theme Park Video Magazine and Mouse Rap Monthly.

As I got older, I found myself no longer living in California, but living and working in Washington state, where my wife and I had a sweet little daughter in 2006.

They say you can take the boy out of Disneyland but you can't take Disneyland out of the boy (oh wait.......I'm the one who said that!) and so I created Theme Park Audio Archives and Theme Park Radio several years ago (after many years, both have since been retired).

Theme parks have always been a passion (which is tough living in Washington as we really don't have one, unless you count Wild Waves....which I don't.). and so we go home to California and visit family (and yes.....Disneyland) whenever we can (Hi mom!).

My wife works for an optometrist and loves crafts (she's good at them too!). And my daughter is turning eight years old in March, which is hard to believe and makes me feel even older than I suppose I should.

So that's who we are. And now....as a famous DJ once used to say (oh yes, I was a radio DJ for 15 years in California also) ...and now the rest of the story.....
