We headed to Disneyland for the “One More Disney Day” 24-hour event. The highlight of the trip would be spending 24-consecutive hours in Disneyland, but a trip to The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California was another highlight, as was seeing the ABC television series Modern Family film an episode inside Disneyland. The definite “lowlight”
With its lush trees, brick paths, and gorgeous flowers, Disneyland’s hub is pretty much always a nice place to be. This is especially true at night, when the lights in the trees around the hub flicker, and Sleeping Beauty Castle is bathed in a vibrant lights. It’s doubly true at nighttime in the spring, when
I love these little statues in the hub. Heck, on “One More Disney Day” alone, I took over 100 shots of these statues! (Oddly, I didn’t take a single one of the Goofy statue on that particular day.) Given that I took so many on that one single day, I’m almost surprised that I took
Not a soul is in Disneyland’s hub on an early morning in March. With its Tabebuia trees and their beautiful pink blossoms, along with clay-red bricks, meticulously-wrought park benches, hanging flower planters, and Partners surrounded by a bed of vibrant flowers, nothing is quite as beautiful and distinctly “Disney” setting than Disneyland’s hub in the
If you’re a Disneyland or Walt Disney World regular, you already know that a Dole Whip is a non-dairy, soft serve, frozen work of art. You can order it as a Pineapple Float or as in a cup. Officially, only the cup-version is called a Dole Whip by Disney, but my unofficial poll of fans
The amount of history in The Golden Horseshoe is just staggering to me. The Golden Horseshoe Stage unofficially opened on July 13, 1955, as the Golden Horseshoe Saloon, when Walt and Lillian Disney celebrated their 30th anniversary with a private party and the premiere showing of the original Golden Horseshoe Revue. A few days later,
As the sun fell below the horizon at Disneyland on this March afternoon, the trees on the outer rim of the hub were illuminated with a beautiful orange glow around their edges. These beautifully-lit trees form the background bokeh in this Partners photo of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. I took over 200 photos of
When the sun set on “One More Disney Day” at Disneyland, the park came alive. This is when the bulk of crowds appeared, so I thought it was appropriate to show this hustle and bustle as people raced past Sleeping Beauty Castle. Oddly enough, I did manage to capture a version of this photo without
Plaza Inn is located on Main Street, USA in Disneyland, with inside and outdoor seating offering great views of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The lunch and dinner menu, which is what this review covers, is counter service and consists of American cuisine served cafeteria-style. The menu is somewhat small, with fried chicken, pot roast, pasta, and
“One More Disney Day” at Disneyland was a fast paced day. Just look at this photo of Splash Mountain–even the clouds were moving fast! By this point in the evening, the crowds had really descended upon Disneyland, and most attractions had incredibly long waits. Of the E-Ticket attractions, Splash Mountain was the notable exception to
One “One More Disney Day” at Disneyland, the blooming trees and flowers were so gorgeous, and fragrant, that they stole the show from the normally stare-inducing Sleeping Beauty Castle. For this photo, I deliberately made “Disneyland in Bloom” the subject of the shot, with only a hint of that beautiful, quaint Castle in the distant
