Filed under: Arts and Culture, History, Learning, North America, United States, Video This footage of Disneyland 1957 was previously unreleased until recently. The film was cleaned up, edited, and paired with music, but all of the images are original. In 1957, the Disneyland park in Anaheim, California wasn’t even yet two years old. The park opened in July of 1955. The best part about this footage is that it is actually good! The editing and overall cleanup job helps, of course, but the… Read more
Filed under: Europe, United Kingdom, Budget Travel Paging the team at The Adventurists. Gadling Labs just dug up a great video from on the web showing a tricked out mobility scooter that would be great for a cross continent adventure. Youtube user colinfurze uploaded the video showing some of the ridiculous speeds and maneuverability afforded by a scooter that he customized, and the result is pretty outstanding. This is actually the same machine that broke the Guinness World Record for… Read more

WestinWORKOUT fitness facilities at 186 Westin hotels around the world are getting new equipment and blue light therapy throughout the course of the year.

Today’s Photo of the Day by Flickr user micke77023 comes from Cairo, Egypt of a falafel man who seems to enjoy his product. You can almost smell the chickpea goodness emanating from his kitchen and tell that whatever he’s… Read more
Filed under: Photo of the Day, Video, Video of the Week Imagine if you could fly. Not in an airplane or a helicopter. I mean, you could fly like Superman. How amazing would it be to soar through cities and observe everyone from above. Well, imagine looking up and seeing three people flying around New York City. That’s what must have happened when people saw these human-shaped remote control airplanes circling around New York. It looks like it might just be a promotional video for the new film… Read more
Filed under: North America, United States, Photo of the Day This Kauai sky is awfully pretty. It doesn’t even need the surrounding habitat, which is likely amazingly beautiful, to compel viewers. Vast elongated cotton-candy clouds are location-independent, after all. Captured by Flickr user matt coats earlier this month, this is a dreamy image, a reminder that the sky, like the ocean, inspires journeys through its very enormity. Upload your images of skies to the Gadling Group Pool on… Read more
Filed under: Oceania, United States, Micronesia, Photo of the Day, Video Each year, more than a million people visit the Pacific island of Guam, an unincorporated territory of the United States located in Micronesia. This video shows why: breathtaking sunsets, beautiful beaches, fantastic diving, a vibrant tourist district, tropical flora and fauna, and a unique culture influenced by Spanish colonization, Japanese occupation, and now American control. I’m also biased; as a native Chamorro who… Read more
