Interesting Snow White related articles and podcasts

In the last few weeks, I've been gearing up for the D23 expo (look for updates on my trip soon).  That means I've been agonizing over which Snow White shirts to pack, reading all kinds of different things, and trying to catch up on my podcasts.  With the end of google reader, I'm afraid I've completely neglected my new feedly account and have accumulated a shameful number of unread articles - I'm sure I've missed quite a few things, but here are some of things I've been checking out:

First, I've mentioned before that WEDway radio did a series to celebrate Snow White's 75th anniversary (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).  I finally caught up on my listening during a recent 8 hour drive through central California.  Matt and Nate did an absolutely fantastic job.  I found myself talking to them the whole time (or rather talking to myself in my car).  Take the time to listen to the series, it's really worth it!

Mice Chat's George Taylor has posted an article all about the Disney Inn.  Ever since I learned of this Snow White themed resort, I've been wishing for a time machine.

Babble.com has an article celebrating Marge Champion - she is turning 94 this year!  Marge was the live action reference model for Snow White, you can read more about her in a previous post on this website.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: The Creation of a Classic is now on display until October at the Norman Rockwell Museum.  While I probably won't be making it to the east coast before that time, the website is beautiful!  Be sure to download the educator and family guide - it's really quite interesting.  They also have some merchandise for sale from the exhibit.

Disney Inn

The Golf Resort in Disney World was renamed and redecorated and remodeled in 1986 with a Snow White theme and give the new name the Disney Inn. Sleepy was part of the logo as seen in the photo of the stationary.
According to The Disney way by Bill Capodagli and Lynn Jackson, the change was made because wives who were making the reservation for the family trip saw the word golf and avoided that hotel. Thus, the hotel was not getting the capacity the other were recieving.
.In 1994 it changed again to a military hotel (Shades of Green) and has since been torn down.
