Around the Small World in 50 Trips

Hugh Hewitt's producer took on the self-flagellating assignment of riding "It's A Small World" 50 times in one day to commemorate Disneyland's 50th anniversary. I didn't listen to the broadcast, but I'm sure there is some significance to the fact that they chose to celebrate the 50th anniversary with 50 trips on 05-05-05.

While you're at it, dig these other crazy Disney-ana links. The first is a slideshow compiled of vintage snapshots and slides from Disneyland visitors during the '50s and '60s. The second is a collection of Disney home-videos. Be sure to check out the vintage "Disneyland, USA" film, a very cool tour of Disneyland produced for TV (Part I and Part II)

It should be noted that both preceding links are via the inestimable BoingBoing. Type "Disneyland" into their Google search box and it truly does return a directory of wonderful things.
