A Groovy 66th Birthday for Disneyland

July 21, 2021, 4 Comments

Last weekend Disneyland celebrated its 66th anniversary. We visited the park with a few friends, and I used the occasion to make another vintage Disneyland ephemera inspired outfit. I’m a sucker for vintage ephemera, especially Disneyland related ephemera. Disneyland created some great paper shopping bags over the decades, and awhile back I purchased one on…

Returning to Disneyland after Over a Year Away

June 1, 2021, 3 Comments

Disneyland is known for open being every day of the year, and has only had unplanned closures as a result of tragedy or safety, with the closures only lasting one day, but last year all of that changed, when COVID shut down Disneyland for over 365 days. On April 30 Disneyland reopened, but Patrick and…

A Visit to Disneyland

Let’s take a trip to Disneyland, but Disneyland in 1965… Disneyland may be closed currently, but thanks to a little book called A Visit to Disneyland we can all pretend that we have stepped into a time machine to visit Walt Disney’s original Magic Kingdom. I hope you all enjoyed this little peek into Disneyland…

If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, then you know I love to attend the various unofficial theme days at Disneyland. Last weekend was Adventureland Day, inspired by the explorers, skippers, and tiki birds of Adventureland. It was rather chilly, it even rained, and the sun played hide and seek all day, so I…

The Return of Adventureland Day

March 5, 2019, 3 Comments

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…

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…

Tiki Day at the Park

Long time readers of the blog are familiar with the unofficial theme days at Disneyland, including Tiki Day, which was last weekend. This Tiki Day was especially fun because I spent the day with some of my favorite ladies and we had a blast taking photos together. So for once I’ll be sharing photos of…

Vintage Disneyland Postcards: Adventurelands

August 27, 2018, 4 Comments

Earlier I introduced a new postcard series where I would be sharing my vintage Disneyland postcard collection. And since it’s so large, I decided to split it up into each of the lands, beginning with Main Street USA. Today we enter the mysterious Adventureland. I think it’s important to note that when Disneyland opened in…

Forgotten Disneyland Attractions at the Van Eaton Pop-Up Exhibit

Last week I was invited to a preview party of the That’s From Disneyland pop-up exhibit that just opened to the public yesterday, and it was all sorts of amazing. The pop-up exhibit showcases items from Richard Kraft’s collection, including vintage souvenirs, posters, ride vehicles and more. All of which will be going to auction…
