I’m feeling a bit nostalgic. I was the kid that sat at the TV tray every Sunday night anxiously waiting for the Wonderful World of Disney. I can remember that my mom would put the food on my tray and I wouldn’t even notice so it would be cold by the time the show was over. I didn’t care. I had priorities.
Then my grandmother would take me to the Disney movies on Fridays because our school got our half day. Sometimes we would be the only ones in the theater. Drinks came in a 7 oz. cup without a lid an no ice. Coke never tasted so good.
You can bet I’m so excited that TCM (Turner Classic Movies) is playing some of the old Disney favorites on Sunday afternoons. Starting this week you can find…

Great list! I need someone to keep me on top of all the cool Disney movies! Parent Trap is a classic
I don’t get TCM here and I am SO sad about it!!! Especially during the holidays when that’s the only spot to White Christmas and The Bishop’s Wife. Stupid AMC, with all their stupid westerns!
What was on your TV tray? I’m assuming you mean the aluminum ones with the little fold-out legs. I’m pretty sure mine had the smurfs!
I love the original Parent Trap. Let’s ge together, yeah yeah yeah!
