Parades at Disneyland

2023-09-29T17:56:47-04:00February 3, 2016|Disneyland|

There’s an old song from the 1930’s called, “I Love a Parade”. It talks about the marching feet and the beat of the drum and how much the writer loves just being there for the parade. Well, that pretty much sums up how I feel about the parades at the Disneyland Resort, both at Disneyland and California Adventure! Right now, there are three parades going on at the Disneyland Resort. Mickey’s Soundsational Parade- Usually, this parade is the afternoon parade in the Disneyland Park. Kicking off around 3pm, this parade is a must for music lovers, especially lovers of Classic [...]

Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park

2016-01-29T06:00:46-05:00January 29, 2016|Disney News, Disney Travel|

You probably know that there are four theme parks at Walt Disney World in Florida: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios. But did you know that Disney also has two water parks? Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are part of Walt Disney World's property, and you can add water park access right onto your theme park tickets! A water park is a great way to cool off with your family during those hot Florida summers. I visited Blizzard Beach with my family during the month of September. It was still very warm and steamy outside, and [...]

2016-01-22T06:00:33-05:00January 22, 2016|Disney Travel, Disney World, Disneyland|

    Disneyland versus Disney World, some may think the two are one in the same, but they couldn’t be more wrong. While these two share many characteristics, in other ways they couldn’t be more opposite, starting with their location. Disney World is located in Orlando, Florida but you’ll have to travel 2,496 miles West to arrive in Anaheim, California home of Disneyland. Property Size & Hotels Besides their locations the next noticeable difference are the properties sizes.

Star Wars at Disneyland

2023-09-29T17:52:34-04:00January 18, 2016|Disneyland|

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I fell in love with Star Wars. Yes, I’m a middle-aged woman admitting that I love a science fiction movie series. I love the story lines, the mystery, and the element of good versus evil. The first movie came out when I was in middle school. I can still remember the theater where I saw it (the theater isn’t even in business anymore) and the dreamy feeling I had when we walked out. I’ve seen Episode IV “A New Hope” many times since then with the most recent time being [...]

2023-09-29T17:53:37-04:00January 15, 2016|Disney Cruise Line, Disney News|

Many people talk about cruises as being “all inclusive”, and what is included can differ from cruise line to cruise line, so I thought I would set the record straight on what is included when you set sail on one of Disney’s four cruise ships, and what is an additional fee. Here are all the things included in the price of your cruise: Entertainment: Most of your entertainment such as the amazing nightly shows, movies in the theater and at the pool, character meetings, game shows, kids clubs, deck parties, sports deck, fitness center, and fireworks, pools, night clubs are [...]
