On February 8th, Disney California Adventure celebrated it’s 13th birthday! Wow, seems just like yesterday we saw the “OPENING SOON” commercials on TV! Well, over the last 13 years, California Adventure has gone through quite a few changes – some great, some…well, let’s just leave that one alone. Disney California Adventure has introduced us to some terrific things (like CORN DOGS), and has reinvented itself recently to include a trip through Walt Disney’s history, as well as incorporate an animated world into our own. All these things add up to one great adventure! So, in honor of their 13th birthday, we thought we’d share some of our favorite Disney California Adventure photos with you, set to music, in this latest VIDEO PODCAST EXTRAVAGANZA! (cue impressive music here)

**Just a heads-up, we made a boo-boo (ok I made it, not Joyce). In the opening title sequence of the new Rides Video Podcast, it says “Video Podcast 5”, but that’s incorrect. It’s actually Video Podcast 4, so you haven’t missed one…yet!**

So, sit back, relax and enjoy part two of Disney’s Aladdin: Musical Spectacular. We hope you like our presentation, and in the words of the Genie…”You ain’t NEVER had a friend like me!!!”

In our latest video podcast, we showcase this wonderful new show, although, video doesn’t do it much justice.  This is a must see attraction, and we HIGHLY recommend it. Combining the elements of water, fire (LOTS OF IT) with vivid color video and beautiful music, Disney’s World Of Color is without doubt the newest and shiniest Gem in the Disney Show Crown. Enjoy the video, and let us know what you think! You can get the video from iTunes, or visit the Tales From The Mouse House link from the main page here!
