Travel Back to Disneyland in the 90s

April 22, 2026, Leave a Comment on Travel Back to Disneyland in the 90s

Being a millennial means my childhood, and a fair amount of my teenage years were captured on film. Recently I stumbled across a collection of photos from visits to Disneyland made in the early 1990s. Awhile ago I shared photos of a visit to Universal in 1997, and I thought let’s do that again, but…

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…

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…

A Psychedelic Spring Dapper Day

Things have been going pretty non-stop lately, and there was no slowing down this last weekend as it was Dapper Day! Long time readers of the blog and perhaps some new ones, will be familiar with the twice annual event here at Disneyland that encourages Guests to visit the parks in their Sunday best. Plus…

Swiss Miss Christmas

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…

Sleeping Beauty's Castle, straight on. The walls have a pink tint to them, and greyish blue roofs. People mingle in front.

Vintage Disneyland Postcards: Fantasyland

October 23, 2018, 7 Comments

Today is the final installment of my vintage Disneyland postcard series, and with it, I saved the most iconic land for last, Fantasyland. Disneyland perhaps wouldn’t be what it is if it were not for the beloved animated films created at the Walt Disney Studio, and here, in Fantasyland Guests get to step into those…

Country Rapunzel

Way back in April, during our road trip to Idaho, I scored a square dancing dress that was absolutely perfect for a Rapunzel Disneybound and I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to wear it. That perfect moment arrived when I was invited to a Disney couples themed Disneybound event! So Patrick, who doesn’t really…

What a Guy, that Gaston!

With the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast hitting theaters (I’ll leave my personal opinion out of this), Disney has been doing a lot of promotion and even gave one of their restaurants, Village Haus, a temporary Beauty and the Beast overlay, to become the Red Rose Taverne. I really wanted to visit it…

Golly, What a Day!

The Disneyland Resort likes to make their annual passholders (also known as APs) feel special, and last year they started doing a month long event called AP Days. AP Days usually means exclusive merch, special screenings, and exclusive meet-and-greets with characters who rarely make appearances at the parks. You might recall a post around this…

Goodbye to the Fantasyland Skyway Station

Sorry for the dead air as of late. I caught what has been going around down here, a late spring cold that had me laid up for the last two weeks. I’m finally beginning to feel better and can finally begin to focus on blogging again. Four years ago I wrote a post dedicated to…
