I believe there is a UAB linked website that displays most of this same information. You might want to try checking out the Partnership Links page under information.
http://www.thisdayindisneyhistory.com for This day in Disney History
or
http://www.dldhistory.com/ for Disneyland history.
There may even be others. The number of partners has grown significantly compared to last year. |
