On Friday afternoon/evening, I took a walk through Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort. One of my favorite places is Grizzly River Trail by Grizzly Peak. It is often quiet over there and there are some fun artifacts scattered around. The above overturned mine cart is one of those artifacts. I love how the rust adds that level of history and age to the story being told in the area. As I look at this overturned cart my imagination just starts to wander… What overturned the cart? Why was [Read More]

This Sunday at Disneyland it rained… quite a bit actually. Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE the rain! So, with iPhone in hand I made my way into the park for a very wet adventure. Hours later I was drenched to the bone, a bit on the cool side, but having a blast as I took pictures right past park closing at midnight. Here are a few of my photos from the day! I hope you enjoy!

Yesterday I had the chance to go check out the new Meet n’ Greet location at Disney California Adventure and meet Sailor Mickey. As a lover of the sea, this was definitely a treat. I have grown up loving boats, the sea, and sailing especially so I definitely wanted to make sure and see Sailor Mickey yesterday. First, however I went and saw the last day of Mardi Gras as a part of the Family Fun Weekends. The highlight of this visit was that Dale seemed to really like my [Read More]

Friday I spent a majority of my time at the Disneyland Resort in Disneyland. Yesterday, while a bulk of my time was spent in Disneyland I did take a stroll through Disney California Adventure to see what was going on in that park. While I did find the construction progressing along as I expected it would be, I also was pleasantly surprised to find some pockets of beauty popping up as well around the park. Hope you enjoy this photo report!

Last year I had the distinct pleasure of getting to attend the world premiere for the World of Color at Disney California Adventure. Due to limitations at the time for youtube, I was unable to upload the entire premiere in one segment. This however was recently remedied. Once remedied, I went through the wonderful process of rendering a 43 minute video and then uploading. The first took approximately 13 hours and the latter another 5 hours. All of that done, it is now on youtube for the world to enjoy. It was [Read More]

Today I visited DCA with my friend Becca from Mouse Info. Of course I brought my camera along and took a few pics so I thought I’d share them with you. There are photos of the construction going on throughout the park along with a wonderful encounter with Donald Duck. Hope you enjoy these shots!

Disney California Adventure (DCA) turns ten today. I wrote the following article for DAPs Magic Disney News this morning with a bit of a history of the park. Take a look at it and following it, I’ll write my own personal comments on the park. Let me know what you think of DCA both then and now.

Sunday was really a busy day at Disneyland. No, there weren’t a ton of people there. The morning rain and occasional drizzle throughout the day took care of that. Family Fun Days weren’t so fun as the third day of Character Fan Days were cut short. You can see pictures here though of them from Friday.
Sunday was busy as there was just a lot going on. A wonderful lady who loves to listen to Ragtime Robert at the piano turned 100 and was at the park to celebrate her birthday. [Read More]
