Last week Major over at Gorilla's don't Blog had a post (link) of the photo below. Its the Kids of the Kingdom at Disneyland back in June of 1968. Those outfits are beyond cool.
Check out this October 17,1969 letter from Disneyland's Special Projects Coordinator, it was sent to the Student Affairs Director at Long Beach City College. If' I'm reading this correct, R.D. Miziker and Disneyland were pimping out the Kids of the Kingdom for a "price"!

Neat! If you read the comments on my blog, there was some doubt as to whether that really IS the "Kids Of the Kingdom". I sure thought it was, but somebody pointed out that the real KODK consisted of 8 guys and 8 gals.
If the girl's skirts were shorter, and maybe they had white go go boots, they would have been a smash hit everywhere!
Hey Major! Yes I did read those comments, but you know me, I just ignored them and believed what you said :-)...
Somebody needs to forward this letter to Team Disney.. the next time they have another "hip and edgy" fit, they can read this letter to remind them exactly how they come across....
Miziker is still in business.

His 2 sons are also in the biz.
Walt is rolling over in his cryogenic cocoon right now!
What a find! Wish I could hire the Kids of the Kingdom to perform at my rally! I wonder if they actually got many outside gigs.
