I go to Disneyland all the time. Every time I see something new. Or I see something old in a new light. This was the case on Sunday night as I walked out of Fantasyland through the gates of Sleeping Beauty Castle. I just happened to stop and look back and see this picture. I took it obviously. I have taken similar shots from further away but for some reason I love how being up close shows the details of the walls. Then looking through the gates you see all [Read More]
On October 15, 2010 Rapunzel and Eugene (Flynn Ryder) came to stay at Disneyland. I made my way to the park early in the morning to be among the first guests to see them at their new home in Fantasyland. Rapunzel was as charming and enchnating as she is in her movie, Tangled. Eugene was… well… Eugene. I’m generally not one to go and visit characters but in this case, I’m glad I did. I really like the cottage they have created for Rapunzel. It really does look like a [Read More]
I’m a regular at Disneyland. Rare is the Sunday where I don’t don my fedora and take a walk through the park. I’ve been doing this for years. I don’t know what it is about Sundays but they are special. Through the years, my routines have changed but one thing has remained the same. I come to the park on Sunday.
I love walking into the park, hearing the train, seeing the giant Mickey Mouse made of flowers, and then seeing Mickey himself greeting guests. Whatever cares or stresses I was [Read More]

On Sunday I enjoyed a very wet and cold day at Disneyland. As I was sitting at Coke Corner listening to Ragtime Robert I thought it’d be kind of fun to wander around a bit of the park and take some photos. Of course it was raining so I didn’t have my nice camera. I did have a little point and shoot camera in my pocket but for some reason I didn’t pull it out. I instead used my phone and took photos with it as I wandered. Then I [Read More]
The week between Christmas and New Years is always a busy week at Disneyland. Busy perhaps is an understatement. Those who visit during this week often find themselves caught in a struggle to simply survive rather than having the wonderful and magical time that should be having! Here are a few tips to keep your visit to the happiest place on earth, happy!
Be Prepared – Wear shoes that are comfortable. Plan on staying in the park for the duration of the day so either carry a backpack or rent a [Read More]
A Christmas classic at Disneyland has become It’s a Small World Holiday. Anyone walking towards the direction of Toon Town, Princess Fantasy Faire, or just the north end of Disneyland at night will see the glow of lights as they enter the area. It’s a Small World Holiday lights up the night with music and thousands of Christmas lights.
Recently I was honored to attend the Media Appreciation Day at Disneyland and took a ride round the waters of the world on It’s a Small World Holiday and took a shot [Read More]

This morning, the doors to a little cottage wrapped in hair were opened and guests visiting Disneyland were given their first look at Rapunzel and Flynn from the upcoming Disney animated feature Tangled. Guests were lining up well before the opening of Rapunzel’s cottage, which can be found between the exit of Pinocchio and the Village Haus. Rapunzel’s hair actually wraps it’s way from a tower on one side of Pinocchio’s exit across to the little cottage and around it as well, providing a nice setting for meeting Rapunzel.
The doors [Read More]
Last weekend there were some friends from out of town visiting so this ended up with me spending a lot of time at Disneyland. Seeing as I had my camera with me I decided to take a few pictures. I had some time to kill so I figured…hrm… I should take a picture of every Jack O’ Lantern on Main Street, USA. I did a bulk of the pictures right then as I waited and then finished the last few throughout the weekend. Then, Mickey and the gang showed up [Read More]
