California Birthday Girl

Overall April has been quite hectic and extremely busy, and to add to it, my birthday fell on Easter this year. So there wasn’t really the opportunity to celebrate proper, however, a few of my fellow heathens and orphans and I decided to get gussied up and head to Disneyland. I call us “heathens and…

There’s a New Redhead In Town

March 22, 2019, 4 Comments

After over 50 years of men, both real and animatronic, shouting “We wants the redhead!” Disney chose to finally change the infamous “wench auction” inside their classic attraction Pirates of the Caribbean last year. There was a mixture of reactions to the change, and I myself debated on writing about it here on the blog.…

As it is already well established, I love Disneyland and a good theme, so I was overjoyed when I heard that Adventureland Day (put together by Tiki Tony), one of the newest unofficial theme days, was returning. The event encourages Guests to embrace all things Adventureland whether it is with tiki-tastic clothing, safari-wear (or adventurer…

Book Review: Walt Disney’s Disneyland

February 26, 2019, Leave a Comment on Book Review: Walt Disney’s Disneyland

So, in case it wasn’t obvious enough, I love Disneyland. And I love any book that really showcases the history of Disneyland, especially when it’s big and includes lots and lots of pictures. So Chris Nichols’ latest book, Walt Disney’s Disneyland was literally a dream come true. Nichols’ book covers Disneyland from its infancy through…

Valentine’s Month at Disneyland

January 25, 2019, 2 Comments

This year Disneyland introduced “Valentine’s Month” to the park with extra decor, special food items, and even a scavenger hunt to celebrate the holiday of love.

I’ve been fighting a cold for over two weeks now, and due to that we didn’t go to Knott’s Berry Farm, as per our tradition on Christmas Eve, but I couldn’t let this cold stop me from visiting Disneyland Christmas day, which has become our tradition since moving to California! But I did opt for…

First, I am terribly sick. I honestly sound like a chain smoker. Second, Patrick’s mother and sister are visiting in less than two weeks, and there is much to do! So I’m honestly not sure how much blogging is going to be done in the next couple weeks. I apologize in advance! However, I am…

Today is the final installment of my vintage Disneyland postcard series, and with it, I saved the most iconic land for last, Fantasyland.

Vintage Disneyland Postcards: Tomorrowland

Today we jump into the future…well, what Disneyland Imagineers of the 1950s and 1960s thought the future would look like, more specifically, what the world of 1986 would look like. Out of all of the lands, Tomorrowland is the one that has seen the most change, with complete overhauls in 1967 and 1998. The first…
