Stephen Schochet, author of Fascinating Walt Disney and Hollywood Stories: Short, Entertaining Anecdotes about the Stars and Legends of Hollywood, drops by Movie Addict Headquarters on July 5th to help celebrate the 56th anniversary of the opening of Disneyland. As a Hollywood tour guide, Stephen began doing research years ago in order to tell colorful tales about Tinseltown to his customers -- and most of these tales are included in his entertaining books. Stephen also hosts a syndicated one minute radio feature called Hollywood Stories.

During this special episode, Stephen will discuss such topics as:

     ● where Walt got the idea for Disneyland

     ● why Disneyland meant more to Walt than his movies

     ● initial planning and some of the exciting Disneyland rides

     ● how Walt made Disneyland different from other amusement parks

     ● Disneyland’s disastrous opening day

     ● what worked and didn’t work at Disneyland

     ● Walt’s personal tours to famous people at Disneyland

This should be a fun show!
