A few weeks ago as I was wondering through Disney California Adventure I happened upon Minnie Mouse next to the plane in Condor Flats. I quickly snapped a picture of her. Really, this is a great place for her to be taking photos. I have always loved this plane. It adds so much to the area and it looks really cool! What do you think?
Make it a GREAT day!

I saw the flowers in the background but had to get fairly low to the ground to get the line quite right. So… I was half sitting/laying against the fence as I took this picture. Hopefully you’ll agree [Read More]
Two weeks ago it was raining and it was raining hard. Like any normal group of people, we decided it was a good idea to go to Disneyland! I mean really, why wouldn’t we? A little freezing cold rain on one of the cooler days this winter in California is the perfect day to go to Disneyland right? Well, we thought so… for most of the day.
It was a day full of laughter and adventure! In the mid-afternoon as we listened to Ragtime Robert, we saw a man dressed all [Read More]

Things continue to change at the Disneyland Resort. Starting tomorrow there will be some very obvious changes to anyone who visits.
Let’s start with the cosmetics. Those big letters in front of Disney California Adventure (DCA), that people go and get their pictures with, will be going the way of the Dodo bird. Guests arriving at DCA tomorrow will quickly realize that things are different and the letters no longer available. With this will begin the changes to the main gate at DCA as well. This will be bittersweet as the [Read More]
If you have ever spent New Years Eve at Disneyland, you know that it is quite the place to be! For some, this is awesome. Others aren’t quite so enthusiastic about the mayhem.

I took this picture a few weeks ago from Christmas Tree Point on Main Street, USA at Disneyland. I love everything that is going on behind the wooden soldier in this picture. I think that is one of the great things about A Christmas Fantasy Parade at Disneyland at Christmas time. There is just so much that is going on and generally there is a little bit of something for everyone. There are a ton of Characters from all over the place and they are nicely spread out.
My favorite part [Read More]
